mod dying

[vicTor ZA]

hi, I'm from South Africa and need to dye a few mech squonk mods.

I was told RIT Dye would do the job but we don't get that here.

My question is, what kind of dye (specs) is required to dye a 3d printed and resin mod so that I can try match what is available here.

regards

We Dyed some Nylon Parts that a company I was involved with made. They turned out pretty Good.

We used Rit Liquid Dye, a Hot Plate and a Metal Coffee Can. And followed about the same procedure as shown in the Links below...

Dyeing Nylon 3D Printed Parts: The Quick and Easy Way

You have to make sure the the Parts are 100% Clean, Dry, and Oil Free. So Don't Handle the Parts without Gloves after cleaning them with Rubbing Alcohol.

The Best way to do it is to have some Sample Squares of the Material to be Dyed. That was you can get the Soak Time down to the Depth of Colour you want.

Maybe amazon.com or ebay?

If you have some "Test" parts of the same Material as your mod, then I would just Try what you can get Locally. If you just have your Mod, well, I'd do More research and maybe it would be Better to Wait for something thru the Mail.

The Mod is printed Nylon, Right?
