What is required to make a 3D printer with such functions?

[prisma ocean]

I'm thinking of making a 3D printer with color mixing.🟥🟩🟦⬛⬜
(RGB + Black & White extruders)

And you have no idea how many things I have thought of that I would like to add.....

A webcam.
A few 🟥 LED lights so you can see the printer in the dark.

Connect it to the Octo-print program for remote control. Or something similar.

Two interchangeable beds (like on a laser cutter CNC machine) or a conveyor belt. (In the first case also mechanisms to tear off print from the table and prepare it for the next printing.

Feeding mechanism so that you can connect up to 4 at least spools of plastic of EVERY color. (RGB + Black & White)

Slots for USB flash drives and SD cards.

Well, and purely for entertainment make a small music player. (Not important but fun)

Install marlin firmware and make a customizable frame!
(Foldable or extendable manually by reassembling and tuning firmware, so it would be good for small & big prints)

So what I would need to do this?
What printer is most suitable for this?

I found guides for some things.

But I'm not sure if that's gonna be enough for me to understand how to make it.

But... What about how to combine all of this? And what about other ideas? I'm not sure how to implement them...

Btw I understand not only English, but also Russian too.

And... I have no clue if anyone ever thought about making a 3D printer with 2 beds. I didn't find even a bit of information about this. Probably because conveyer is better.

AI Help

It sounds like you have some ambitious and creative ideas for your 3D printer project! To integrate all these features, you would need a good understanding of electronics, programming, and mechanical design.

Some of the components you may need for your project include:

• Webcam: A compatible webcam that can be integrated with the printer and possibly with OctoPrint for monitoring.

• RGB LED lights: LED strips or individual RGB LEDs that can be controlled to change colors.

• OctoPrint: A Raspberry Pi or similar device to run OctoPrint for remote control and monitoring of the printer.

• Multiple extruders and feeding mechanisms: Specialized extruders that can handle different filaments and a feeding mechanism to switch between color spools.

• Interchangeable beds or conveyor belt: Customized bed systems that can be swapped or a conveyor belt mechanism for continuous printing.

• USB/SD card slots: Additional slots integrated into the printer for ease of access.

• Music player:...

Ok, this all I can contribute.
Adjust to use different amount of a purge tower for colour mixing....
