The TD-1 by AJAX-3D
EDIT: Beta access for Self-Source is now Live on my Patreon! AJAX-3D | 3D Models | Patreon
We are thrilled to announce this innovative measurement device, The TD-1 by AJAX-3D! This revolutionary device is designed to streamline the process of gathering critical filament data by capturing the TD value and a color hex code directly from your filament, making it easier than ever to add new materials directly to your HueForge filament library.
Key Features:
- Capture TD: Quickly measure the Transmission Distance of your filament.
- Capture Hex Color Code: Obtain the color hex code of your filament.
- Quick Capture Mode: Quickly add new filaments directly to your library.
- Continuous Capture Mode: Monitor the real-time TD data of your filament, whether it’s actively in use or during the spooling process directly on the production line.
- Seamless Integration: Connect directly with HueForge software to effortlessly add new filaments to your library.
- 0.91″ OLED Display: View test results even when not connected to HueForge for manual entry later or for uses outside of HueForge.
- USB-C Interface: Convenient USB-C interface with included cable (PCB kit and assembled versions).
Why Choose The TD-1:
The TD-1 is designed with simplicity and practicality in mind. Say goodbye to the hassle of printing step tests, as this device allows you to gather “close enough” data by simply inserting a strand of filament. The choice of continuous capture mode keeps you in control, monitoring TD values in real-time as the filament flows, ensuring you always have the data you need.
TD-1 Pricing Structure (Pre-sale Only – Shipping Not Included):
- $10: Get access to the Bill of Materials (BOM), STL files, and device firmware for self-sourcing.
- $40: Opt for the self-assembly TD-1 PCB kit. This kit includes STL files and two custom-designed PCBs for a wire-free assembly.
- $80: Choose The TD-1 completed and assembled version for ultimate convenience.
Official Launch Date:
To be Determined. Targeting first quarter of 2024.

Interested in option 3
Option 3
Interested in the kit option!
option 1 and 2
Hey Ajax, interested in being a beta tester if possible. I’m an old school software QA guy so you’ll get some quality feedback from me. Let me know! Cheers.
This is awesome and would probably order the TD-1 Complete and assembled version to save time and effort.
interested in the DIY kit, with all of the non-self-printed parts included
$40-$50 option will be the one I go for.
I would be interested in the second and third option but I would want it to be delivered to the UK
Self-assembly and/or complete TD-1. Could build via option #1 but I already have enough project to complete:-)
I want a fully built model please.
Option 1 definitely, & option 2 depending on postage costs.
Option 2 or 3 for me
Look forward
I would be interested in whichever option I can get in my hands first. lol
Interested in option 2
Can we get on a mailing list for when the preorder is available?
I’d go for option 2
Yes!!!! I’d do the second one in heartbeat!
Thanks for creating this! 🙂

Hello from Germany,
great device.
How do I get the second variant and how much does shipping cost?
Thank you
Best regards

I’m interested in option 3. Let me know if you need any testing.

I would be up for option 1 & 2 myself. I am sure most will want the easy button( time and skill dependent) Great work here. I have tried the scope, and step test and have been looking at the led box setup.
option 3
Oh – Sign me up for 1 or 2 … depending on what’s in the BoM of course … but hell this looks great
Option 2 would be my choice idk if I commented yet. Sorry if it’s double.
I’d love to get the fully assembled version. So glad you came up with this!
I would want to reward your amazing work and buy the full kit!
2 OR 3
Would love to get my hands on this as a kit. Hueforge was the tipping point for me to get a 3D printer. I have a few project ideas that Hueforge would be perfect for.
Kit option to make custom enclosure for me. I went way overboard “prainting” with this new process using the AMS, MMU2S, and Palette 3 Pro. The TD meter will be a perfect fit. Can’t wait to get it.
That is fantastic. I’ve been printing some “stained glass” type prints that it would be nice to have something other than trial and error for color and light transmission.

I would definitely do option 2 and possibly option 1.
Consider this a preorder for a full one.
Interested in all 3 options, it all depends on the shipping costs to Europe.
I’m TD-1 completed and assembled version. Also if you need any testers I’m available. I’m retired so I have all the time in the world.

I am lazy. I’ll buy the complete product.
Following you on discord – would love a prebuilt unit when available
Would Love to purchase Self assembly, maybe you could populate the pcbs directly by jlcpcb? Ps: living in eu 🙂
I’m interested in option #2 or #3. 🙂
Interested in option 3 = fully assembled.
Option 2 or 3
Awesome idea and implementation
Interested in 2 or 3. Please put my name on the list!
Option 1, i am into self assembly products for Arduino etc.
Interested by the option 2 or 3, but it depends on shipping costs to Europe,
Emailed and very interested and ready to buy. It’s any of the software able to be modified? In addition to hex, can any other values be returned? Rgb, cmyk, hsl, and so on? More and any of the meta data? Raw values? Frequency?
Thanks!
I am interested in option 2 or 3.
Interested in option 3
Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed reading it, especially because it addressed my problem. It helped me a lot and I hope it will help others too.

Thanks
Option 3
cant wait for the option 2 kit!!!
This will help so much!!!….Please take my money!!
Just out of curiosity, will you offer a price discount for members of your Patreon? I’d love to dig in and look around at it beforehand.
I will most likely get the self-assembly kit since I love soldering and assembling, but sourcing parts usually isn’t much fun.
Thanks!
Interested Option 1 and 2
I am very curious and will choose option 2 if shipping to Germany isn’t that high.
Great idea!!! I’m interested in Option 1 and 2
Hello from Austria
Would be interested in option 2 or 3 (depends on how complicated the self-assembly is)
Hey, just saw Joel’s video, headed here.
Did the intergration with hueforge importing direct pan out?
did enough interest express itself to get to the point of shipping boxed units with a usb hole in one end, a 1.75mm in the other, an some instructions?
Thanks for saving us time
I’m interested in option 2
J’acheterai la version TD-1 terminée et assemblée dès sa sortie
Très intéressé par votre produit et je pense prendre l’option 3
I’m interested in option 3
When could i buy the TD-1?
Thanks
Just wondering if this is still in the works? Would like to get option 2 if there is no soldering required.
The kit does require some header soldering.
interested in option 1
option 2
Option 3 please
I’m interested in option 2 pls.
Option 2 or 3 is intresting..
When it will be avaiable to Germany?
Perhaps a german / european redistribution will be helpful ?!
I do not have resellers in Germany yet. Would love to get in contact with one/some.
I’d choose option 4.
