Max & Dora say hi!

This is a custom 13"x13" light box designed to fit perfectly in an Ikea Kallax cubbie. The frame was 3d printed on a Bambu H2S, and has the ability to slide different pictures in and out. UV printed on laser cut milky white acrylic with 1 layer of white and 2 CYMK. This is one of my favorite pictures of my weimaraners, who are no longer with us, but now shine brightly in a custom frame. The eufyMake uv printer makes incredible prints for lightboxes. How many laser projects do you see in the second picture???

Beautiful, and I can count over a dozen without even trying!

This came out phenomenally. I love how the colors just pop! And instead of a banana for reference you have a fire hydrant, which demonstrates the smallest weimaraners ever.

If you ever have colorful scraps left over, I would be interested in how they fare with sun exposure over time and how fast the colours fade. Weird but interesting experiment, I ask this because the sun shines into our house and bleaches our photos on the wall and this would be cool if it was somewhat resistant. (and maybe I could justify it to my better half as the reason why we need one!)

Beautiful picture! They almost look like statues themselves. I counted at least 10 in the second photo. What a great way to display your work.

I didn’t NEED a Glowforge. I didn’t NEED a 3D printer. Same for Eufy, I didn’t need one of those either, but here we are…

I’m there with you. And, I’m loving the Eufy. I’m printing everything in the house :slight_smile:

IF you saw Adam Savage Tested’s review they make LCARs panels from Star Trek Next Generation on some clear acrylic with the Eufymake (of course from hi-res scans of the originals from the set)

With the :glowforge: I didn’t really know that I needed it until it arrived. Now I am hooked and can’t go back to pre-gf days. I certainly want one of these but there isn’t a ton of space here, unless I debulk the garage… hmmm.

Hey @pubultrastar, me too! I’m incredibly frustrated with the company and probably wouldn’t buy one of the products again, but the printer is pretty darn cool and should pair great with the GF.

Have you tried using snapmarks with it yet?

Yes! A bunch of times, and it works really good.

Oh nice!

Are you using a PNGs or svgs, and do you just manually resize them once you import them? I ask because my files are mostly svgs and they don’t import at the correct size, and even when I use a PNG the come in a tiny bit larger. But I think it might be Eufy adding a small border around the image that doesn’t get printed, and if I resize it to the actual file size it will be a tad bit too small? (Hope that makes sense.)

For snapmarks specifically, I’ve been exporting as transparent pngs as they import properly into eufy studio. Svg for some reason get resized, so it’s just easier to use pngs.

I wish I could figure out why my 300 dpi 1” square comes in at 1.33” then, what dpi are you saving yours at?

You’re getting 96 dpi instead of 72 dpi.
