We have printed a 10cm tall marvin in multi colour using Strooder filament, we used natural colour PLA pellets mixed with Masterbatch colourants to achieve a spool of multicolour filament. We printed Marvin on a Robox printer, took about 3 hours to print and was made from one continuous strand of filament. I have included a 3d printed banana for scale

@OmniDynamics the quality is looking good and a great choice of test print :P. Hope everything is going well, we are still very keen to try one out.

Cool! Do you plan the colors out or do you just put things and see what happens?

Hi Alex,

To be honest it depends on the print, for the marvin print we just wanted a whole load of random colour as you said we just throw Masterbatch in to Strooder to see what happened, however if we have specific colours or gradients in mind we plan it out in advance and premix pellets before adding them.
