eufyMake E1 After 12 Months—Would We Buy It Again?

We've had the EufyMake E1 personal desktop UV printer for about a year now, and we're going to give you the good, the bad, the ugly, answer your top 10 burning questions, and tell you whether or not we'd buy it again. What is up? Welcome back. We know you love to do it, build it, and make it. And we're here to help you sell it. We have the EufyMake E1 UV printer for about a year, and when I found out we were getting it, I had some first initial thoughts. My initial thought was, I already have a big industrial UV printer. What am I going to do with a little hobby printer? The whole point for me for getting the desktop printer, first of all, this was first of its kind, a desktop UV printer. The whole reason why I wanted a desktop version is to be able to take it to craft shows and be able to do personalization at craft shows. We already have our desktop size lasers that we take and do personalization, but being able to add color on the spot, real time, just takes it to a whole other level. And so that was why I was super excited when this was first announced, and then to know we were getting one was even more exciting. Well, once I understood that it was for craft shows, then I was kind of stoked on it, and then when it showed up, it showed up the day before the jamboree last year. I mean, nick of time. I mean, and we were able to get into it and start messing with it, and we had to wait until the last day of the jamboree where we actually unveiled it, put the ink in, and started running prints. So, well, just real quick, my first impressions were super easy to set up. Really, you followed along. We used the phone app. We didn't even have it installed on my computer. We did it straight from the phone app, and we followed along with the instructions, and we were able to print a just step-by-step, boom. And so that was my first impression was, wow. Within the first hour of unboxing it, we've already had a magnet that had the 3D texture, which was pretty cool. But ease of use and setup, I kind of expected that with a desktop home UV printer, but will it work for taking it to the craft shows? Will it work for some of the other things that I had in mind for it? And that's what we've tested over the past year. It's 44 pounds, so it isn't lightweight. You can't throw it in your pocket, but it does fit inside a wagon, and it's easy to lift up and put on a craft table at the booth. Oh yeah, I can lift it myself. I move it around. It's a little bit heavy, but I can move it around, so no problem. This does run off of Wi-Fi, so we did have to connect it to our hotspot. We do have to connect it to our hotspot, but the first show we learned, connect it to the hotspot at the shop before you head to the show. It gets a little sticky trying to do it at the show. Well, it's your phone's hotspot, so I needed them both. I needed my phone connected, and I needed the machine connected to one hotspot so that we could run it right directly from the show, and we figured that out. But it ran well. It ran off the tower bang all day long, and it did fine until the heat and humidity hit about, it was like 95 degrees and something like 80 percent humidity, and that's when this thing decided it was done working. Well, I mean, it was 96 degrees, and I was working hard to keep it out of the sun. But then the second show we brought it to was in the shade, and it ran all day. It ran all day. It was great, and it was popular. Yeah, and it was like a puppy. Yeah, it was like a puppy. Today, we're going to answer your top 10 burning questions. Okay, what is this thing all about, and what are our impressions? So we're going to tell you everything that we've experienced using it for the past year. Question number one, what can the EufyMake E1 UV printer do? So the great thing about this entry-level bundle, this isn't the, what you're seeing here is the deluxe bundle. So for $28.99, you get to try all the things related to UV printing, which was also the exciting part to me. We've got the bigger printers, but what they don't have, I don't have the rotary attachment for either one of them, and they both can print on the sticky sheets to make stickers, but they don't come with a laminator. So for this, for the $28.99 bundle, which is super cool, is you get to try all the things. So you get the rotary tool, so you can do cylindrical items. You get the small bed, the large bed, and the laminator, so that you can make tumblers. You can print directly on the substrate or the item that you're printing on, and you can make the stickers. So I love that this is a great way to enter the UV printing game and try all the things. So you really do get to see what UV printing is all about and how you can do different things with it and find what your niche is as it relates to UV printing. Number two, what can it print on? What materials can it actually print on? So if you're new to UV printing, you might be thinking, what can it print on? You know, I've heard that it can print on tumblers. I've heard that it can print on acrylic, but what else can it print on? Like practically anything. It can print on rocks, wood, metal, glass, acrylic, plastic. I mean, I don't... Leather. It could probably print on dirt. I mean, if it's solid, it can print on it. I don't think it'll print on liquids. It will print on fabrics, but I don't know if it will stay. No, you can print on... I mean, you could, and maybe a really stiff canvas. The thing about UV printing, especially on these types of printers, is that it's not good for flexible. So it's not going to do your t-shirts. No. So know that it's not a t-shirt kind of printer, but it will print on just about anything else. Well, it uses hard inks. So the ink actually has like resin in it, kind of like the fingernail polish that you put under the UV light to cure. Same type of thing. It sprays down CMYK ink that has resin in it and then immediately flash cures it with a UV light. So it's hard immediately. And well, it's semi-flexible. It's semi-flexible, which is why it will go on a tumbler and go around a tumbler or why you can make a sticker with it and it doesn't crack. So it's a semi-flexible ink, but really you're not, you can't bend it in half. It's not that kind of ink. And you certainly can't wash it on a t-shirt. It's not that kind of ink. But what we purchased it for, of course, we do a lot of door signs. So we knew we wanted to print on wood. It does that. We knew we wanted to print on acrylic. It does that. Maybe, so glass is a little bit tricky. It does print on glass, but you really do have to prep your, prep the glass and, or any acrylics, most things. Same with metal. You have to prep your metal, your glass, and your acrylic before printing on it. And for some woods, you may need to prime it first. Yeah. So there is some prep work to be done with some of these materials. But pretty much it can print on, you name it, it can print on it. And that's also a great flexibility. When you're thinking Christmas ornaments, can it print on them? Yes. So if you're thinking craft show items that you might sell, most likely it's going to be able to print on it. I mean, if you can engrave on it, you could probably print on it. Question number three, ink costs. How much does the ink cost? Now let's talk proprietary versus... Open. Open ink systems. Proprietary means you have to use their inks and their cartridges or their packaging. And the EufyMake does have a proprietary ink system. You are having to use the Inky, the InkyMake, the EufyMake ink cartridges. And, and then they are considered a sealed system. So the great, there's pluses and minuses to everything. There are pros and cons to everything. Now the pros to the open system is I can use any ink and I could probably get any ink probably cheaper somewhere else. The cons to the open system is you can get air in your system or you can get a clog in your system. And if you've ever tried to pull ink through to the dampers or anything, you'll know that that is a mess. It's a chore. And that ink is corrosive. And if you get it on your fingers and lips, it burns. It more than burns. It's toxic. You don't want to get it on your lips and mouth. None of that. It is. Yeah, it is. It's bad stuff. So the pros to. Yeah. So then the pros here. The pros to the proprietary or closed system is that you don't have to worry about where your ink came from. You don't have to worry about the air getting in your lines. And you know that it's going to work. It's it's kind of like windows versus trying to run like an open operating system or freeware. Right. So I can change this out. I don't need gloves. I mean, you should have gloves on in case you touch it. But I can just change this out, take it out, put it back in and you're good to go. So again, if this is your first entry level or introduction into UV printing, then ink cartridges like this are great, especially if you're in a home environment and if you were in a big corporation and. A lot of ventilation. Yeah, you'd have more ventilation. You would have a lot of safety protocols in place for managing inks and changing inks. But in a home environment, something like a closed system like this is actually great because then Anchor doesn't have to worry about what's happening at home and whether you're going to get it on your hands and in your mouth. And I guess another pro is this is kind of foolproof. You can't put the wrong color in the wrong spot, whereas maybe I've dumped clear in the white tank before in the other printer. Things happen. Now, I know you guys know if you've been following us, you know that we have other UV printers, so we do have the large printers. And a little bit of a comparison here is that the logo jet that we have is actually a proprietary ink system as well. You have to buy the logo jet pouches with a special little nozzle that plugs into the lines for the logo jet. And so that is also that proprietary or closed system. And then we do have an industrial machine that has an open system that you can just pour any ink into. And we do do that. And I have poured the wrong ink into the wrong well. And I have let it run dry. And I've had to pull the ink through the lines because I got air in them. So and yeah, and we've had a mess. It leaks everywhere. Let's talk about cost for these. So these are about, let me get my notes here, 43 cents a milliliter. And if you want to compare that to something like the logo jet, because you might be wondering. What is this then? 100 milliliters? 100 milliliters. So this is like $43 then? Yes, it's $42.99 per 100 milliliters. Yes. Okay. Correct. And then our logo jet is 45 cents per milliliter. The pouches are a little bit bigger. I can tell you that it cost me about $900 to get a full CMYK, plus two whites, plus two glosses. So every time I get a full set, it's $900. For this one, a full set with CMYK, plus one white, plus one gloss, plus the cleaning cartridge. It comes with a cleaning cartridge because this is always cleaning itself. We're going to talk a little more about that later, is about $300. So when you do have to buy all new inks, you're going to spend that $300. But you don't want to let your ink sit. What I learned later, and if you've been following Eupie, you may already know this, but guess what? It was new to Kim. The inks, once they expire, there's a chip in these inks. You could see it when he pulled it out. There's a chip in the front of it. And once your ink is expired, it no longer functions. Again, this is a beginner-friendly home printing system, and they do not want you using expired inks. Expired inks, the viscosity level changes. It doesn't print the same. It then damages. It kind of, I think they get thick over time. Yeah, the pigments will settle. Any evaporation will cause it to get thicker. And then that damages the printhead. So that is the reason why they do that, is so that for a home-based system like this, or a crafting-type system, if it expires, they don't want you using it. So that is the biggest... To me, that's the biggest challenge of this whole machine, is that, well, because it personally was burned by it. I have inks, and they've expired, and now I can't use them. So that is definitely a downside for me. So if you are a craft saver... I don't mean hoarding supplies. We all hoard supplies. But if you're a craft saver, like, I'm saving this for the perfect project. Don't. Just start printing, find any project, and make sure that you're using your inks. You don't want them to expire on you. My biggest challenge is the ink lockout. If it expires, that's my biggest challenge here. I think that was the ugly. The expired ink is the worst part of this entire thing. Now, for a machine like this, you want to do high profit, low volume. Another thing we're going to talk about is print speed. It's a little bit slow. It's a slow machine. Again, it's a home-based crafting system. So it is not going to print as fast as the Logojet or my other industrial-type printer. It's going to be much slower. Because this has one head in it. That's not multiple heads. So it will do a pass and lay down the white. It'll come back and lay down the color. It'll come back in that same spot and lay down the varnish. And that's how it will be. The same head will do white, color, and varnish. So high profit, low volume would be things like keychains. You could use the large bed here and get many keychains at one time. If you're just doing flat printing. So because the thing about the Yupi Make is it does texture really well. And I'm going to go into texture next. But flat printing, let's say one keychain maybe will take $0.25 in ink. And then the keychain itself is maybe $0.60 in material. You can get the blanks for $0.60. You're in it for $0.80 or $0.85. And you can sell them anywhere from $10 to $12, $6 even. It just depends on what you've got invested in it. That is a low cost of goods and a high profit. We are printing them on site for $15. Right, I could do a bunch of them. I was doing them actually when I was doing keychains at the craft show. I was doing them on the small bed. So I could keep the door shut and then it would just go through. And I might be doing two or three at a time or even one at a time. It just depends on how many people were walking up. It was mainly to get them to notice the booth and come see what was happening. Yeah, they could see the light go by and see it flashing and all of those things. So that's a great high profit low volume item because you could get a few of them on here. Even low volume and you could fill up a whole bed if you're doing them at home. Another one would be the texture. So if you're doing keychains or magnets and you're doing a lot of texture, you're going to spend a lot more money in ink for the textures. So these are low volume, high profit. But you're going to use a lot more ink when you're adding that texture. It takes layers and layers of ink. It cures every time it lays down a layer of ink. But that's how you're going to build the texture. So you get some really cool looks to these things. But you're going to sell them at a much higher price point. So like the military coins. Well, this is just a Kim and Garrett Make It coin. But we did some military coins where we had probably a dollar fifty or two dollars in ink. And then again, we may have had a dollar in the coin substrate with the acrylic. Yeah, I think it was about a dollar for the brass coin. And then you can sell them for 20 or 25 dollars. So again, you're not going to be doing tons and tons of coins. So you're going to be at low volume and then you're going to be at a high profit margin. We did a batch of 16 at about 20 dollars a piece. Yep. So what else? Oh, and then the rotary. If you're going to do tumblers, you can. Your cost of goods sold for a tumbler is about eight dollars. That includes the tumbler and the ink. With a tumbler, you're not going to be using textured prints on there. You're just going to put one layer of ink. You're somewhere at eight dollars in your cost of goods sold. And then you're going to sell them for 25 dollars. You know, Garrett mentioned it slightly before. I know you're seeing people hack these and refilling the cartridges before they expire. I mean, that was my immediate thought as soon as we tested it out, as I was like, I'll just hack it. But do know that there are challenges with that. And again, if you are running at this level as a crafter home based business, I would stick and keep with the system that they have put in place for you. It is negative pressure, vacuum sealed, and it is always cleaning through the cartridge. So you don't want to puncture a hole in these because you're going to get air in the lines. You don't know about what ink you're using. I mean, you could probably get pretty good quality inks, but I would just think twice about it. Question number four, cleaning and maintenance. Do I have to run it every day? No, but so we don't run ours every day. It does sit and it sometimes sits for a week or two before we run it again, but you must leave it plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi. So it's always running a cleaning cycle every 20 minutes. I think it does a little flash clean where it uses less than one milliliter of ink. Is it one milliliter? Yeah, one, oh, less than one milliliter a day in ink. So it's less than a one milliliter a day. It's using a very tiny little bit of ink. You're just trying to keep the lines clear and the head moist so that nothing dries out. That's the biggest thing with these printers. And I can tell you with all of the printers that we have, that's the biggest thing. You do not want them to dry out. So it is great that it is its own self-cleaning, self-maintenancing system. Again, for a home-based machine like this, for a crafter, hobbyist, small business, small, small business, then this is great. It is just plug it in and kind of forget about it. But again, it really brings that maintenance down to nearly zero. You do, you should clean the heads. The maintenance is minimal, but it does use some ink and that's kind of my beef. This is like having a Ferrari sitting on my desk and I'm paying to store it in my own garage. Every day it uses a little bit of fuel and I'm not driving it. It's using proprietary fuel and it's charging you while it's parked in your garage, right? Yeah, I guess it's like having an electric car. So that's the great thing about the maintenance. It does maintenance it. It is running and then I can leave it set for a bit. But again, I already told you before, you don't want those inks sitting there. So use them and if you're going on vacation, it's going to be fine. It's going to be fine while you're gone on vacation. It's going to be fine if you get busy for a week filling some other order, doing something on your laser and you haven't been back to your UV printer, you're going to be okay. But you don't want it to sit for too long. You're going to want to use it and make sure you're doing something cool with it. Question number five, the environment. Is it safe to use inside my house? So yes, that's another reason why this little desktop home-based printer is perfect for home because they are monitoring the VOCs or the volatile organic compounds to kind of the smells that are coming out of them and trying to make it as safe as possible for you. So there is a filtration system, but I'm not going to lie, when the doors are open and it's doing a lot of printing, you can smell it smells like a strong marker smell. But when I have the doors closed, I can't smell it. So we've been standing here the whole time and you didn't smell it. Not until you open the door and then you can smell it. So you do want to make sure that you keep it closed if you can. If you're printing something small, keep it closed. You're going to get less smell to it. You use it in a large ventilated area. Don't be printing in a closet. No secret printing in closets. Yeah, no secret printing in a closet, right? Because it does have that strong kind of marker smell to it. So it says if you're in a room smaller than 13 by 13, then you might want to consider adding a HEPA, say it right, Kim. A HEPA air filter, air purifier, air filtration system. So a HEPA filter in your room if you're running this in a small room. We're running it in a little bit larger room and I run the big machines in there and we find it's okay. Now the other thing about environment is humidity. All of these printers. First, you talked about the smell. Yeah. But if you've ever cut acrylic, it doesn't smell nearly as bad. Think 10% of cut acrylic. That's a good analogy so that you can compare it to something. If you are using your laser and you are cutting acrylic, that is way stinkier than the smell of this machine running. So by comparison, yeah, it's a good point. Now back to the second environmental factor, which is humidity. So with all of these printers, we have to be aware of the humidity levels in the room. And why that's important is because it does affect print quality. In the middle of winter, when it's really dry outside, you can really tell if there's any static electricity or any static will cause your prints to be fuzzy and static builds up with very little humidity. So in the summertime, I don't have to worry about it. The natural humidity in these rooms is somewhere around 40%. Now if you check the UP system or the UP website, they're going to suggest anywhere from 20 to 65% humidity. But what we found and what works with our other printers as well is somewhere optimal is 40% humidity. So if you're in the south like we are, 40% humidity is going to be no problem in the summertime. But in the wintertime, we do have to run a humidifier. But that is something that you might have to consider in the winter is adding a humidifier and making sure that you're keeping the static levels down so it doesn't impact your prints. And you might not know that that's what the problem is. I mean, we've been there. I'm like, what is wrong with this thing? Why does it look like that? And as soon as I wipe it down with a, I'll sometimes a little tidbit. If you're wiping, you pre-wipe your substrate with like a dryer sheet, that'll take off a lot of any kind of, a lot of the static or any kind of, I don't know, electric charge that might be sitting on top of your material that you didn't even know was there. So tidbit, a little dryer sheet. Basically, if you can rub your feet across the carpet and shock yourself on the door handle. Oh yeah. Then your prints are going to get fuzzy. Yep, that's a good point. Question number six. How durable is it? Will it last outdoors? So the great thing about UV inks is that they are weather resistant and fade resistant. They already have the UV light and they're not going to be impacted by the UV light. So they won't fade. They will last, according to the research, two to three years outdoors. Now I haven't owned it that long. So I can't 100% say that, but so far so good on everything that we've had outside. And then five plus years on the inside. Now your other big question is. Is it dishwasher safe? If I make a tumbler, can I throw it in the dishwasher? So that's a yes, no kind of question. Anytime you put any of your tumblers in the dishwasher, you're going to, over time, damage the integrity of your tumbler. A lot of times they'll say hand wash them. Can you put your UV printed tumblers in the dishwasher? Yes, you can. Is it going to ruin them? No, it's not. But over time, the heat, if you're using a heat drying cycle. Well, that kind of depends. Now, am I printing directly on the tumbler or am I using a transfer to place it on the tumbler? Either way, I think if you're using a heat cycle in your dishwasher, it's going to shorten the life of your print. And the detergents of your dishwasher, depending upon what detergent you're using and how strong those detergents are, are going to shorten the life of your UV print. Now, I do think the printed directly on, since it's cured directly on the substrate, will last a little bit longer. That is true. Than the ink printed on the adhesion material and then put on the tumbler. I think the glue or whatever that it's printed on will give way, whereas quicker than the printed directly on. But they still both work in the dishwasher. We have run them both through the dishwasher. Several times. So far, so good, really. But just to give you the correct answer is it's not recommended for the dishwasher. It's more recommended to hand wash if you want it to last a long time. But don't worry. If it goes through the dishwasher cycle, it's going to be fine. Question number seven. Is there a way to speed up the printing? I saw it taken pictures and it took forever. So yes, we talked a little bit about the fact that it is a slower printer. But are there ways to speed up the printing? Yes. So it uses the cool thing about this machine is that it does have an onboard camera. So you can do, like I said, the one magnet. I can place it in the middle. I can put my image right on top of that magnet because it's using dual lasers to measure the height and know exactly where it is taking the pictures. So that is super cool. If you're just doing one item, that's a great feature. But sometimes if you're doing lots of items and you're doing the same thing over and over again, you might not want to wait for that camera to take the picture. So you can use zero-point alignment and bypass the camera. So if you know exactly where you're putting your items on your bed, either you have printed an outline so you know exactly where to put them every time and the design on your screen will know exactly where they're going on the bed, then you can use zero-point alignment. You can also use a jig. If you've been following us and what we're doing with some of our other printers, Garrett's... You know I love a jig. Famous last words are, I love a jig. Another thing I see, speaking of camera, is that sometimes when you're looking at items across from edge to edge on the bed, the camera does get a little fish-eyed, but not to worry if you're using... Yes. Towards the edges, it could get off about two to four millimeters. But if you're using the jig method, it's still going to print exactly where it's supposed to, even though the camera might be showing that it's a little fish-eyed, it's printing exactly where it's supposed to be printing. Don't believe those lion fish eyes. Correct. Question number eight. Can I make my own designs with texture? I see it uses the AI to do the texture, but can I do my own design, something like stained glass with the raised lead lines? So it knows exactly what pieces of this image that I want texturized. Yes, you can. The great thing about the Eufy Make is that it does have its own... You just say, hey, I want you to add the texture for me, and it does an amazing job of adding texture for you. You do not have to figure that out. But if for some reason you have a specific design, and you wanted to say, I want this particular element to have texture on it, you can have it do that. So you can bring in your own PNGs, you can create your own files and your own texture layers using the... What is it? Well, it works a lot like it does with the industrial machines. So I can use a spot color in my TIFF file. I can also make three different files for the different layers that I would need. This works just like it would on the bigger machines. It takes the same file types. It recognizes a texture or a spot color. Yeah, it's called texture layer or spot one layer, and you can create your own texture elements, and you decide what gets texturized. So you can do that. And that's a pretty cool feature too. Question number nine. How much does the software cost? So the basic software is free, and you get 200 AI credits every month. So if you've used all your AI credits this month, you'll get new AI credits next month. How many credits does an AI project take? It varies depending upon how much texture you're using. But I haven't really gone past the 200 level. So I am not at that high production level where I need something more. But it also comes with additional storage. I think with the free version, you have 20,000 plus designs that you can use in the eufy make software. That's not bad. And you can store 100 projects in the eufy make online. And unlimited... That's the free version? Yes. Oh, okay. And then unlimited projects if you want to store it on your own computer and not in their cloud. Now, they do have a plus level, which is 600 AI credits a month. You can store up to 500 projects in their cloud with 10 gigabytes of storage. And then you get access... Wow, that's pretty good. 10 gigabytes for 15 bucks a month? Yes. Side topic. You still have access to those 20,000 designs, but you get an additional 1,000 plus premium designs that go along with the plus package for $15 a month. There's also the pro package, which is $30 a month. And that is 1,800 AI credits. So if you're really using... At that point, you're just using the software for its AI capabilities. I think, yes. But that does give you unlimited cloud projects. You can store as many projects as you want, and 100 gigabytes of storage for $30 a month. I mean, the print files on these are typically smaller. Unless I'm using TIFFs, will it store it as a TIFF or does it store it as their project file? You're outside of my knowledge level there. TIFF files may get big, but if I'm doing PNGs, I mean, that's thousands of PNGs I can store. Yes, yes. So do know that you can use the software for free, but there are upgraded levels. So if you're going to be a larger consumer, especially of the AI capabilities, then there are packages that will save you money. But free to print. I can print and do all my printing and all my own textures for free. Yes, that's correct. Question number 10, the question that everyone is asking, should I get one? Now, I have a multi-part answer to that. Should I get one? It's like a matrix. Yes, if. Yes, if you're a small home-based business and you want to learn and get introduced to UV printing, this is a great way to do it because you can test all the things. You can test the rotary, small bed, large bed, and creating your own UV stickers. I would say if you're already doing something with a Cricut or a laser, then yes, this is right up your alley. This is a next step. If you're not doing something already and you're thinking I'm just going to buy this and start something, I don't know. Yes, I think you could do it too. It's what it's meant to be. It's meant to be user-friendly and easy, which is number two. Yes, if you're new. You're not super technically savvy. It is an ease of entry is where this machine is at. It allows you to plug and play. You can run it straight from your phone. You don't have to have a laptop. You don't have to know some complicated software. It's truly using a drag and drop system. With that, just thinking about that. Yes, if you're new or you want to get your toes wet, this is perfect. It shows up on your doorstep and you can set it up and start printing within an hour. Because the larger machines, they took up a day to set up and probably a day or two to learn how to get it to print. Well, and then a lot of them will send out a tech to come and set it up for you. So it does take a full day or even two days. It's actually a two day setup. Yeah, two day setup. So that's not what this is. This is kind of a plug and play type system. Three, yes, if you're printing high margin, low volume. So again, it's not a super fast machine. So if you're cranking out orders of 500 keychains on a regular basis, then this machine is probably going to end up your bottleneck. But if you want to try 20 keychains and take them to a craft show, then this is going to be a great entry point for you. Or if you do, if you've got a niche where you're doing some pet stained glass or some wedding stained glass, you'll be doing one big hero piece selling for like $100 or something. Yeah. Yeah, you could do that. You're doing it one at a time. And another thing is, yes, if you want to take UV printing with you to a craft show. So a lot of what we've talked about with lasers is being able to tab like the X-Tool F1, F1 Ultra, F2 Ultra, the F2, all those little portable lasers are great for taking with you to craft shows to do personalization. Now you can do personalization with color by taking this little guy with you to a craft show. I mean, pretty easy. Like I said, it's 40, 45 pounds. It was easy to kind of lug around and throw up there. But my favorite reason to have this little guy and why I loved having him around over the last year is prototyping. Instead of powering up the big guys and having to shake the ink and do the purge and everything, I will throw my little whatever my piece is in here and do my test prints. And that was really, that was really nice speeding it up. It's like having a desktop laser available to do some prototyping. I don't want to crank up all the big ones and turn on the giant air compressor. Yep. If I'm doing one cut. The air compressors, the external fans. Same thing. And let's talk about the cons. Know if, I said this already, you're running 500 items in a day. This is definitely going to end up as your bottleneck. So it's not going to be something that's going to meet your needs if you're using this for UV printing regularly. Even if you are a small business, if you're UV printing at any kind of volume, this is probably not going to be the best fit for you. You're past this level. You're moving on to something like the more industrial machines. Or another one I have is know if you're a subscription hater. I know over time, one of the big complaints about Glowforge was the subscription model. And everybody was so mad about that Glowforge subscription model. They got ridiculous with it. They got ridiculous. So with this, you are using the subscription model. I talked about the three different levels of subscription and you're using their proprietary software and all of that. So this is, again, proprietary inks, proprietary software, but they're trying to make it drag and drop, user-friendly. And if that's where you live, then it works for that. But if you're beyond that, then this might not be your long-term solution. But it's certainly a great way to get introduced to UV printing. Question number 11. Would we get it again? Yes, I would totally get it again for the prototyping alone. I enjoyed having it around. Well, so we talked about the fact that we've had this for a year and we know there's been some challenges. Eufy has corrected some issues and guess what? They are relaunching starting May 6th. So we're doing this video now because we wanted you to know kind of what our experiences are and the fact that they're relaunching starting May 6th and they're running some launch specials through May 20th. So if you've been wondering and thinking about it, we wanted to give you our honest review and our feedback and to let you know that they are having these new launch specials. They're in stock and ready to ship. So you won't have to wait a full year for your machine or your inks to arrive. They are stocked and ready to go now. If you enjoyed this video, give us a like.
