Gregs Maker Corner | Build Tutorial for the TD-1 KIT By Ajax3d: Detect Filament Hex Color & Transmission Distance @GregsMakerCorner | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
The TD-1 is a revolutionary device, developed by Ajax 3d, that allows you to instantly determine the transmission distance (TD) and hex color code of your filament. This is very helpful if you are using software like Hueforge, which allows you to do "filament painting". In the Hueforge, you specify both TD and Hex code and "mix" colors. This tool will allow you to get very accurate colors very easily, as opposed to relying on other more manual or time consuming methods (light boxes, test swatches, etc).
I paid full price for my kit, and have also been a Patreon of Ajax3d and this project because I think it's a fantastic idea and wanted to support the efforts.

The TD-1 is also integrated with Hueforge. Connect the TD-1 to your computer, open Hueforge, and insert filament and you'll be able to use the readings. I may create future content on this.
