Coloring Resin 3D Printed Parts
I recently designed some pickup rings which I had resin 3d printed. They come in either white or black and I chose white because my plan was to color them to a cream color to match the plastics on my Les Paul. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to do this? I tried using coffee grounds and water and dunking the pickup rings in that, but it didn’t seem to do much to the color. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have never resin printed, but I played a hunch and found this based on coloring epoxy resin. I would probably use a white resin and then mix in something like a vintage amber dye. If you try this out, let me know how it works. Looks like a cool project.
