Which coloring powder or other way to color Polymorph do you recommend the most?
Which properties should the colering substance for Polymorph have?
For example: Should it be organic or anorganic. Should it be mineralbased...?
1) Polymorph
2) 3D-printed plastic
3) ez-robot plastic
4) servo-housings
Isnt coloring much more durable and secure in regard of peeling?
Can you please provide me with links for each product, so I can look up its specifics and thus can find a comparable product directly in Germany more easily?
I think the painting part is solved. Back to topic to complete the possibilities.

If you want to color your Polymorph, you can mix in acrylic paint like liquitex while the Polymorph is soft and hot...Liquitex is water based and safe to work with. It doesn't change the properties of the plastic at all.
You can also use the same acrylic paint to paint on top of "cured" Polymorph since its flexible and won't crack.

They are little pellets like the polymorph itself. You can drop one pellet in while you're heating the polymorph up. Work the colorant into the polymorph with your hands, then reheat it to shape it. One colorant pellet goes a long way. I used it to make some panels that cover the front openings in my omnibot.
