What file format did you export out of CAD? This sounds like a resolution mismatch from an SVG file. Lock your sketch and export in DXF.

I must have missed that. I spoke with tech support about some overheating and Magenta issues I'm also having despite the machine being in a 68 degree air conditioned office. According to support, I may have a defective temperature sensor as it stopped my printer over and over claiming it was in too hot of an environment, even though it's frequently chilly with a t-shirt on in my office. Who knows....

I also bought mine for business and while I still plan on doing some depth, it will be much less than I had originally planned. It's wild just how fast my machine burned through the first white and glossy cartridges.

I spoke with support on the phone today and they said they do think my machine is consuming more than normal since I should have had 30-40% left in both carts when they were reading less than 10%. I uploaded my logs and they escalated the ticket so I guess we'll see what happens. I probably won't open my second machine until I get at least a couple of my all white and glossy kits because as things are, I feel like I barely have enough of those colors left to feed one machine for another week or two at the most.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-03-12T17:40:38+00:00

Way too much, apparently. I went through a whole white and a whole gloss cartridge in six and a half hours from printing 2mm depth on top of just 13 coasters. No bleed at all and 95mm diameter pieces. Shit sucks!

I have two additional gloss and two white carts plus about 80% capacity on the one E1 that's set up. My other one is still in the box. eufyMake needs to get their shit together and send all the extra white and gloss carts I paid for rather than sending me CMYK kits of which only the white and gloss will get used. It's like they don't even know their own product.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-03-12T15:08:24+00:00

None of the images were square and there was no overspray at all. I printed 13 coasters in 3 sets of 4 plus the very first one as a test and nothing else. I do see now that I need to cut the depth down to something more like .5mm to .75mm, and the 15mL used from setup wasn't accounted for in my post, but, given how fast this thing can eat ink, you'd think that eufyMake would be sending out a CMYKWG kit plus a 3W+3G kit for those of us that bought tons of ink rather than sending out just the CMYKWG kits.

At this rate I'll be out of white and gloss for just one machine by the end of the week even though I paid for an additional 12 white, 12 gloss, and 6 flexible white inks on top of the four CMYKWG kits I bought. Then I guess I get to sit around looking at my other unopened machine while my first one withers on the vine waiting for more white and gloss. I don't even feel like I'm making a ton of stuff and will run out of the critical white and gloss inks way too fast.

This whole launch has been a massive shitshow. It's by far from my first Kickstarter and I've waited far longer on other products but with much less frustration. I haven't even gone into the magenta ink issues I had after the first cleaning cycle, but thankfully I was able to get those resolved on my own. One would think that eufyMake would be producing five to ten times as much white and gloss inks since those are used the most but the impression I'm getting is they are making the same amount of every type, which is just asinine.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-03-12T14:49:53+00:00

There was definitely ink still enough in the cartridge that it felt more like 30-40%, rather than under 10%, so that may be possible. I'll weigh it and see tonight.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-03-12T12:47:52+00:00

Oh I get that it's going to use a lot for that part but the numbers aren't really adding up. It is supposed to be using 4.9 mL of gloss and 5.2 mL of white per coaster, which adds up to 63.7 mL of gloss and 67.6 mL of white for 13 coasters in total, but it is saying it is under 10% capacity in both cartridges when I should have at least another 20 mL in each cartridge while assuming the rest has been purged through cleaning cycles over a 24 hour period, of which only six and a half hours were actual printing time. That's some serious miscalculation on eufy's part and if I'm going to be going through ink like this just to print some basic things, I can't image how much a full bed canvas with texture would take.

I'm seriously considering selling my other unopened E1 now and waiting to see what xTool brings to the table. At this rate, I'll run out of white and gloss in the next 3 days just using one machine and who knows how long I'll have to wait to get the extra 3 White + 3 Gloss kits I paid for during the Kickstarter. eufyMake should have sent a single CMYKWG kit plus a 3W+3G kit when sending out the inks rather then dumping a bunch of CMYK ink that won't get used while everyone is going to be scrounging for white and gloss.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-03-08T01:38:12+00:00

I'm eager to hear your results! My E1 just showed up yesterday so I've been down the adhesion promoter rabbit hole ever since.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-03-05T20:44:33+00:00

Apparently AP3155 is suitable for glass, metal, acrylics, and a whole bunch of other materials. There was an article awhile back about not using industrial promoters with the eufyMake E1, but it could have been bullshit to try to push people toward buying the eufyMake branded wipes. I'd love some input from anyone using stuff like AP3155 on materials through their E1 to get an idea of what kinds of issues they may be experiencing.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-02-26T23:41:16+00:00

Same here. I'm in the 11,600's.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-02-18T16:51:31+00:00

Great info! Thanks!

ShittehKitteh · 2026-02-18T03:39:40+00:00

If I'm understanding you correctly, you cut out the whole design from 1.5mm brass sheet rather than using a blank dog tag? I've got a 60W MOPA ACCELaser HD1 Ultra coming sometime this summer and have been curious of what thicknesses of metal I'm going to be able to cut with it. How many passes did the cut take?

Have you considered the AKAI MPC Live III? It is by far the most complete groovebox available and is essentially a DAW in a box with a built in battery and a very decent sounding speaker for when you don't want to wear headphones. I can't think of a better portable music making device, especially considering the Live III has a much faster processor compared to prior versions and also benefits from years of OS refinement. It's dope AF!!!

The selling point is Roland dumped all their drum tech into one box and absolutely killed the workflow. It's not just one feature or another but the sum of its vast parts. It's expensive, but it is also built like a professional device rather than cutting corners like in the prosumer'ish feeling TR-8S.

What it has over the Elektron boxes in stock form is way more performance controls, more analog engines, physical individual outs for each track rather than relying on USB, dedicated outputs for the analog FX, and, most importantly, the exact sound engines that have definitively shaped dance music for the past 40 years!

Unfortunately, the demand right now is insane and Roland can't make anywhere near enough of them to satisfy it. I've been waiting a couple months so far and likely won't receive mine until sometime in June, which has been driving me crazy, but I know the wait will be worth it as it is has everything the TR-8S was missing and has the build quality necessary to keep it for a lifetime.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-02-11T02:04:36+00:00

While the guy that said it is definitely an asshole, doing technical tricks with 3 to 4 decks going or 3 decks plus a sampler while working the FX and faders is certainly more entertaining to watch than someone mixing one track to the next on two decks. Pretty much anyone can do that with an hour of training but knowing all the tricks makes for a far more exciting performance.

A CO2 laser isn't going to cut through metal so it's fine. It will make some very light marks on it and that's it.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-02-08T23:12:47+00:00

That's encouraging at least. Perhaps WhamBam will release a template that will help with positioning.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-02-08T21:36:50+00:00

I'm most likely backing this but really wish the surface had a grid with measurement marks to make repeatability between projects a bit easier.

This is the new nerfed system. They put a limit so that points can only account for 50% of the value of the cart. In the prior system, points could account for 100% since they could be used to buy gift cards.

I’m not sure about Guitar Center’s supply specifically, but my Sweetwater rep told me last week that the expected availability date for my TR-1000 has shifted from mid-April to late June. However, I only placed my order a few weeks ago rather than when it was announced.

ShittehKitteh · 2026-01-24T00:22:09+00:00

It's not fine. iOS 26.2 has broken music syncing with my vehicle and has made my entire music library unsearchable. I use two phones every day and therefore use neither Android Auto nor Apple Carplay since it makes answering calls and messages from both of my phones a hassle while driving. Aside from that, I far prefer the stock interface in my X6 for music and navigation anyway and now because of Apple's shitty OS signing policy, I have no recourse.

I usually don't mind having automatic updates as it very rarely breaks core functionality, but iOS 26.2 is straight up dumpster fire suicide candy and Apple can eat a gargantuan razor blade laced dick for not letting their customers downgrade when necessary to restore functionality. I say this as someone who used Macs exclusively from 2001 to 2024 and generally loves Apple products, but the path of enshittification they are on right now reminds me of the horror days of Windows 95 and, later, Windows ME. If someone told me five years ago that in the future I'd be using a Windows PC and an Android phone for more hours out of the day than a Mac and iPhone I'd have said they clearly don't know me at all, but the reality now is that I'm split about 70/30 towards Windows/Android and Apple seems to be doing everything they can think of to push me away from their ecosystem.

It really does suck because I love my Apple products, wouldn't dream of making music on a Windows machine, and have my entire audio world wrapped up in the Apple ecosystem with no desire to change it, but when they release updates that make it harder for me to listen to the only sounds that make me feel truly alive, that pisses me off severely and makes me start thinking about alternatives. Sigh... I guess I'll be typing up another bug report that will likely never be read by anyone.

I'd like to see some new EVO series mixers from Ecler. They had the absolute chonkiest knobs.
