After seeing a video on youtube of somebody building a skittle\/M&amp;M sorting machine, I thought I could do something similar.<\/p>\n<p>So far, I have build the electronics to sort our the colors with an Arduino, a RGB Sensor and a small servo and a NeoPixel ring ( All from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/\">Adafuit<\/a>) .

I made a few prints on the Replicator 2X. (with a few tweaks I got to a model I am happy with). It was a pain to find the right setting to extrude the PLA at the right speed and temperature. 3D Printing is still very much in the DIY\/Hobby section&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I found that the <a href=\"http:\/\/colorfabb.com\/xt#.VKh7c4qsXAo\">XT-Filament<\/a> is the best as usual to print consistently with predictable results.<\/p>\n<p>Below is current state of the project&#8230;still early days !
