Has anyone used the color kit or any other dyes with clear V5 to make tinted parts? Im looking to make smokey black and blue tinted transparent parts.
We had some luck with rit dye

I don’t even know what they are, but they’re pretty. Do you recall the proportions used?
They were some production parts for this: QuikBow® - Arbutus Medical
I have a YouTube video about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iEuNNGL4xs
Note this was before the Form 4 - which would have saved me a ton of time if it existed back then 
We added around 70 drops total of three different colors (sapphire, navy and magenta). The exact proportions are going to differ depending on the color you’re going for.
These drops get put straight into the resin cartridge, shaken up, and then printed with standard settings (in this case, Biomed Durable).
Good luck!

We just throw our parts in our Dye machine
Like, after printing? So the Dye machine like paints them?
You can use a can of transparent tinted paint and clear coat on top.This is how we made the lenses for this one
