	The TD-1's primary goal is TD and it measures this very well. Color is something we wanted to have as well because it is useful, but the TD-1 measures color of roughly 1x3mm of filament. No color sensor is going to be perfect at that scale. It is well known that Gray comes in somewhat green, likely due to the LEDs that are on the RGB sensor. Most of the time, if you double click on the color swatch and edit the Green channel to be equal to the next highest color channel (either Red or Blue), you will get a pretty close gray value. Most other color issues tend to be too bright and a brightness adjustment in the same dialog will let you fix that value.		The TD-1's primary goal is TD and it measures this very well.

==Where Can I Buy a TD-1==
The TD-1 is not made by HueForge, but by Ajax-3D which was started by a community member.
TD-1s sell quickly and may not be in stock anywhere, but the list of Resellers is available at [https://ajax-3d.com/resellers/ Ajax-3D]

==Why is the TD I get from the TD-1 Different?==
The library TD values in HueForge are taken from just one or two spools of filament. Over time, we have learned that there
can be a large variance in TD between batches or in some cases, parts of a spool. The library values are NOT definitive and your
TD-1 is giving you the correct value for YOUR spool.

==How Much Variance in TD Should I Expect?==
TD Varies in a spool depending on manufacturer. Even those manufacturers that control for TD see variance of +/-10%.
Some users are concerned when the same piece of filament varies by 0.1-0.2 between insertions. This is a non-meaningful change
that will have no impact on the prediction in HueForge. In fact, if you prefer to round to the nearest 0.5mm on TD, you will not
see a difference in the predicted result.

==My Colors are Off==
The TD-1's primary goal is TD and it measures this very well. Color is something we wanted to have as well because it is useful, but the TD-1 measures color of roughly 1x3mm of filament. No color sensor is going to be perfect at that scale.
It is well known that Gray comes in somewhat green, likely due to the LEDs that are on the RGB sensor. Most of the time, if you
double click on the color swatch and edit the Green channel to be equal to the next highest color channel (either Red or Blue), you will get a pretty close gray value. Most other color issues tend to be too bright and a brightness adjustment in the same dialog will let you fix that value.

Efforts are underway to improve color accuracy as possible, but Ajax is prioritizing production to meet demand and HueForge is prioritizing new feature updates at the moment. When time permits, more effort will be made to improve color with the current sensor and future versions will likely have an improved sensor.
