Dyeing white abs rapid prototyped parts
by Jon on May.30, 2010, under Make, MakerBot
Twin Cities Maker ordered 5 lbs of white abs along with our makerbot. I’m aware that the MakerBot Store currently sells colored abs, but 5 lbs of white is nearly a lifetime supply and my method allows for more colors. While Rit dye is relatively safe don’t use any cookware that will be used for food ever again, and be careful as it will stain just about anything. I’m told that bleach will remove it from white sinks, counter tops, etc. but I can’t guarantee it will, so try to be careful.
