  If I had the money for one I’d be making a bunch of stained glass type things I bet they would look awesome

    Adam Savage has a video where they use the eufy to print onto glass (and many other materials). The result was pretty incredible, so I hope we see this become easier and easier.

      I watched Michael Alm’s video about it yesterday. Looks cool if you are running an Etsy shop out of your garage/small rented space, but I think it’s a pass for me. I already don’t have enough time to play with my 3d printers and laser cutter.

  Is “UV printer” different from “resin printer”?

    Resin printers build 3d objects using 2d layers. UV printers can apply 2D layers to 3d objects. Imagine a permanent phone skin. The objects can have some curvature. I’ve seems some pretty neat designs applied to retro handheld gaming systems.

    Yes. It prints similar to an inkjet printer, but the dyes are UV-curable.

      So it’s a like a 2D printer but with like 3mm of height? What’s the “ink” made of?

    Yeah, take a look at the article. It is something totally different

      I did look at it. Still not sure what it is.

  I watched a bit of Michael Alm’s video on this, but noped out when I saw all of the little boxes of consumables appearing. If regular printer ink is already exorbitant, I can only imagine what these proprietary cartridges will cost.

  The ink costs for the E1 are already outrageously priced at $299 for a 600ml pack.

  Not sure if tariffs on Chinese goods apply, but it can only go up from there.

  Hard pass.

  I want Eufy to make a regular printer and lend that stagnant market with some modern drivers and software.
