Well, kind of. Its main use is to customize existing stuff, like printing pictures on a phone case, custom key caps, and such. I don't know what the ink is made of - I'm guessing a UV curable binder and pigments? Or liquid gold, judging from the price...

Yeah, take a look at the article. It is something totally different

If I had the money for one I'd be making a bunch of stained glass type things I bet they would look awesome

I did look at it. Still not sure what it is. It's just a bunch of marketing nonsense, as per usual.

Resin printers build 3d objects using 2d layers. UV printers can apply 2D layers to 3d objects. Imagine a permanent phone skin. The objects can have some curvature. I’ve seems some pretty neat designs applied to retro handheld gaming systems.

It can print on any surface so you could throw a mug in there and print on the side of it apparently. 3D printers require a flat bed to print an object on. It sounds like the mechanics are similar to a resin printer but with the ability to print on top of an existing object.

No. Just don't! You nerds, tinkerers, hackers, makers... listen to me: DO NOT BUY THIS.

I didn't think I'd have to read the words 'Consumer UV printer' ever. It's just a deranged concept. UV printers are the worst kind of machines there are. Imagine an inkjet printer but a thousand times worse, I'm not joking. I work with these, but professional/industrial ones, in professional printshops, and they are an absolute toothache for my customers (again, professionals that make a living with printers and similar equipment). The customers like me, because I'm the one solving them problems (even if the bill for the solutions is more often than not a few thousands) but I'm sure the salespeople look under their cars every morning.

This will only be a hole in your pocket, a piece of junk taking up space in your home, and even a hazard to your health or your kids' or pets'–UV ink is some nasty shit before curing, some of them make my hands itch even trough the nitrile gloves, and you have to handle and dispose of the waste ink properly ie hiring some waste management service.

It's true that you can make beautiful things with them, but for a home it's just not worth it, just take your designs and your media (the things you want to print on) to a print shop and have them printed there.

I want Eufy to make a regular printer and lend that stagnant market with some modern drivers and software.

Maybe this one different though

FYI - nitrile gloves aren't for everything, and have different breakthrough times for different chemicals. Some chemicals may need to be handled with latex, vinyl, polyethelene, or otherwise. Some manufacturers of lab gloves will have charts depicting which gloves to use when handling various materials like alcohol vs acetone etc, but you can also reach out and ask them whats best for your situation. I think if you are itching like that this is worth looking into because they aren't protecting you like they should. Some people will even develop a sensitivity after awhile - something that didn't bother me before now gives me a rash when I handle it.

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.

Adam Savage has a video where they use the eufy to print onto glass (and many other materials). The result was pretty incredible, so I hope we see this become easier and easier.

I watched Michael Alm's video about it yesterday. Looks cool if you are running an Etsy shop out of your garage/small rented space, but I think it's a pass for me. I already don't have enough time to play with my 3d printers and laser cutter.

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.
