Hands-On: EufyMake E1 UV Printer

9 comments

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 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.
Is "UV printer" different from "resin printer"?
- Yes. It prints similar to an inkjet printer, but the inks are UV-curable. UV inks don't need a special medium like coated inkjet paper, they stick to any surface. You can also layer multiple coats on top of each other to create reliefs (like resin printing, but with colours)
  
  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. It's just a bunch of marketing nonsense, as per usual.
