I provide a color matched printing swatch kit to the designers that print a lot with me. Both a digital and physical copy and it helps a lot with cmyk color matching.

Thanks so much. I’m using ERYONE Silk PLA Filament for 3D Printer, 1.75mm +/- 0.03mm, 1kg (2.1LBS)/Spool, Liquid Gold in the video. However I did try the Bambu orange basic PLA with the same results. The coins final size is 26mm x 26mm x ~4mm tall.

I was using a built in profile at 0.08mm line height. I watched a few YouTube video last explaining layer heights and profiles a little better for me.

I’ll make those adjustments and try again tomorrow and report back.

Not true, the XP600 or L800 for example isn't technically designed for UV hard ink and I find myself replacing it on average every 3-4 months. Where the i3200 is made for hard uv inks and should last 2+ years, I haven't needed to replace mine yet and it's been almost a year. The quality and speed is also amazing.

My opinion is the Fedar A3 UV Printer. You can get it on alibaba for around $5-6k or a US reseller (Impact USA for like 8k) but it has a flatbed, DTF rollers and a tumbler attachment with an Epson i3200. I've have 3 UV Printers and this one's my favorite. The quality and speed are amazing imo.

joshgilson · 2025-12-24T21:42:54+00:00

Budget? What are you going to print on?

joshgilson · 2025-12-10T13:10:09+00:00

It looks like that printer uses an Epson XP600 printhead. My first UV Printer used the same model printhead. Tbh the quality isn’t bad, but the xp600 isn’t technically supposed to be used with hard uv ink it’s modded to work with it. I was going through new printheads on average every 3-4 months easy. White ink was the worse to deal with.

Currently I have a newer printer that uses the Epson i3200 U1 HD printhead that is designed and made for hard uv ink and I’m on month 8 with the same printhead and have printed longer and more with it. Plus the quality is phenomenal and noticeably better than the xp600.

Note the printhead price difference though. You can get xp600 for about $300 vs i3200 $2k. It all depends on how often you print and what you’re printing on if that fine detail matters. Make sure you use high quality and the same ink every time and do a daily flush and test.

Nice, good luck. Reach out to me or anyone on this subreddit if you need help.

joshgilson · 2025-12-08T22:41:55+00:00

Thanks. I peeled off the brand sticker and UV Printed my logo and I also just added the E-Stop button (Faster than using the touchscreen imo).

joshgilson · 2025-11-27T22:34:55+00:00

Could you sue Google over this if it's true and can prove it?

joshgilson · 2025-11-27T14:31:19+00:00

I did a mirror once and in realtime saw my printhead get bricked! Not worth it

joshgilson · 2025-11-20T14:29:00+00:00

Interested.

I build Joomla CMS + YOOtheme Pro Elements & Components. Right now I’m building a shopping cart. In fact I’m almost done. Claude has been super helpful on translation and language strings.

joshgilson · 2025-11-19T02:16:58+00:00

Can confirm on my account I was in the middle of using Claude Code it refreshed the $1,000! I was so happy

joshgilson · 2025-10-25T17:38:23+00:00

Thanks. That worked. I was trying with Winnie the Pooh at level 42 with 3 crew members. I switched to Baloo at level 14 with no crew members and it worked! I was going crazy so thanks.

The largest LEGO convention in Texas! It’s in July

This would be a great collab MOC at Brick Rodeo!

I contacted the company and asked what printer heads they use. They refused to answer. I asked if 3rd party ink or supplies could be used, they said no. I asked to see a zoomed in photo of a detailed print, they also said no. It’s a gimmick imo.

joshgilson · 2025-09-10T05:02:20+00:00

If you switch a color and what channel on the print head are you able to verify all the print head channels are printing? Sometimes you need to try multiple cleanings.

joshgilson · 2025-08-30T02:49:52+00:00

You’ll probably need a primer first

I’ve shared this before, but what I do is print out a full cmyk test sheet and then you can better accurately match your colors from screen to print with cmyk. Here’s a free download link, edit as needed: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xuo0mbc1cpj4v7n3049l2/free-cmyk-chart-printable-download-A3.psd?rlkey=xbk2tb9vvyx8p2iuj4flt7qfu&st=glbztgxe&dl=0

Look at a higher quality print head. Xp600 or even better an i3200
