My personal dream comes true. Ready painted armys out of the printer.

A wonderful mashine. Itīs not a real color printer, but with 4 simultan filament rolls, managed by 4 toolheads, is faster than any mashine with AMS.

I thought by myself, due I am not happy to paint 6mm Figures or Epic Scale figures, tried to print them in four colors.
Only job is to put color to face and hands, a metal finish on muskets and perhaps a sepia wash at the end. Here I use Acrylic painter, saves to use brush and paintbottles.

I use standard filament red,blue,black and a dark white tone.
The figures I painted directly in slicer software Orca. I used standard nozzle 0.4. No tweaking of settings. Only set the layerhigh to 0.08.

I do this only on the Epic scale figures, for 6mm my old eyes will forgive that in gaming distance, that I did not put the additional color on the figures.

To have over night ready painted bataillions, nice thing.

BTW.: the figures are from nice ranges of Turner Miniatures.

First Silesian and East Prussian Landwehr in Epic Scale

Next batch French and British. As reference I put Warlord Epic Scale figures beside them.

Next, nearly 6mm. Very useful that you can print the flags with the figures.

Also 15mm buildings are possible. Or for example tank in 15mm. We should not discuss the paint schmeme and color choosing. I used the colors, loaded in printer.
