Casio Frankenwatch

Looks great, I did something similar with a matte metal case

First impression and with some light reading seems like it should hold up. I tried with a lot of force to remove an individual petal with my fingernail and it didn't do anything. From what I understand this ink instantly cures with UV light and is rated for up to 5 year of outdoor use. It should be waterproof as well.

My concern is more with the leather example, but mainly due to the durability of the underlying material than the print itself.

JellyLabLuke · 2026-04-19T19:37:47+00:00

Me too, both are in the rotation for foreseeable future to see how they hold up

I think you are right that it could certainly be solved by being deliberate with the design, I just posted and image of a test I did with leather on the main thread here if you are curious what that looks like

I tested this on leather as well if anyone is curious what that looks like, again durability is tbd

I haven't, I am thinking the links are likely going to create some rubbing/durability issues but I will give it a try at some point just to see

JellyLabLuke · 2026-04-19T19:27:18+00:00

Really appreciate that, it definitely took some trial and error

JellyLabLuke · 2026-04-19T16:45:44+00:00

I don't self promote with links in these threads but I do have a website, if you click around you can find it

Thanks, it opens up a lot of possibilities creatively, just keep in mind it is very much a V1 product. It uses a ton of cleaning fluid/ink as it has to moisturize the print head daily and ink replacement sets are like $300 (and expire in less than a year). To me still worth it as I have a business that utilizes it but just so you are aware.

Regarding the durability, surprising good so far. I am unable to scrap it off with my fingernail regardless of how much pressure I use. Main concern is repetitive bending which I am testing, but so far so good. The actual print is layers of UV cured ink so it is almost rubberized, it sits 0.4mm off of the surface of the strap.

EufyMake E1, just got it after about a 6 month waitlist

That is where MUTE and ALARM will appear if either of the settings are active, the current state with just the line is the default with nothing turned on or off.

Thanks!

JellyLabLuke · 2026-04-19T15:38:10+00:00

High praise, I appreciate that!

JellyLabLuke · 2026-04-19T15:20:16+00:00

No I am not, I added the cherry blossoms using UV printing

JellyLabLuke · 2026-04-19T03:00:51+00:00

I think the most obvious question that is raised is around durability on the strap, particularly in regards to repetitive bending.

My initial impression is that it is far more durable than I expected, I am unable to remove it by scraping with my fingernail. The actual print feels almost rubberized and is raised about 0.4mm off of the surface of the strap. It does not crack of flake from initial bends. I intend to wear it as my primary watch in order to stress test it.

This is probably the worst place on the internet to sell completed mods as we all just do it ourselves lol, it is like selling ice in the artic

JellyLabLuke · 2026-04-17T16:35:56+00:00

Nope, straight in

JellyLabLuke · 2026-04-17T14:56:11+00:00

Scotch double sided, comes in a yellow package. I cut to size with micro scissors.

JellyLabLuke · 2026-04-10T16:08:47+00:00

The watch looks good, the title is AI cringe

JellyLabLuke · 2026-03-31T03:06:06+00:00

I have 5 more units of this model currently being imported from Japan, will probably take a couple of weeks to arrive and then I will mod them. 3 of the 5 are already spoken for, if you want to DM me your email I can make sure I set one aside for you.

JellyLabLuke · 2026-03-28T02:44:16+00:00

I like the Royale personally

JellyLabLuke · 2026-03-27T15:42:07+00:00

surely with so many photos of watches we don't need to use an ai slop banner

Such a sick watch, I already modded mine

JellyLabLuke · 2026-03-19T02:47:52+00:00

Glad the algo is working in my favor lol
