This is EXACTLY what I have been thinking about. I really don't understand why everyone is making all these 2,3,4+ filament printers that can mix different filaments for different colors. Or devices like that $800 Palette filament splicer to get different colors.
At first i wondered if maybe it was very difficult to color it before it's extruded or if the temperature would burn or discolor the ink... but then I heard that it's so simple to do people have been able to color their filament with sharpies of all things and it worked out fine... so why are we making printers that mix different filaments and hope they mix right when we could just colorize a "blank" filament? Then you would only need a single filament and an "ink cartridge" to have every color.... at most maybe a solid "blank" and a translucent "blank" if you want to count both solid and transparent colors.
Printer will print perfect...
