I may do that once the warranty ends. Very tempting, especially when you’re out!

I’m even willing to pay the full cost for ink, but they have to actually ship it!

I reached out to support last week, and they released my order right away. Coincidentally, my kickstarter ink sets should arrive tomorrow. So, I’m good for a bit.

I ordered ink from the web site on Sunday, and to my stunned surprise, it shipped today.

Now that I have ink inbound I did a first try at a rotary attachment project: I wasted 2 cups before realizing that even though it is a simple shaped cup the inner rotary wheel (the one that clamps on) was sitting on an internal ridge and that made it slip. So after putting the extra width wheels on (very clever, they click on with magnets) the project came out perfect, each year at the barn we do something for all the owners that stable the horses there so did the sweat scrapers a few years ago on the GF. I had watched a tutorial on YouTube here before doing the project. The feature I wished it did was the ability to split the project across the two sides. But I realized since it is a featureless cylinder I could use the midlines on each side as the centers on opposite sides. The logo is a SVG while the horse is a PNG. I did not use a white layer since the cup is pure white (OK colorspace snobs simmer down over there).

Are the ink sets y’all got recently fresh with expirations in 2027? They still owe me a set from Kickstarter that doesn’t show up on the tracker at all. I’ve been waiting to open a ticket about that until the fresh batch of ink came in. Don’t want another short-dated set on the shelf.

Check out that tutorial on using the Eufymake on a bajillion inexpensive things to sell.

I don’t have a full time shop/YouTube gig like that guy, so I’m not quite up to 24 yet, but the testing continues.

that’s awesome @chris1 , you can add:

to the tested list (that’s the rotary one I did earlier)
And these are the closest I have found to the magnets that came with the printer:

Today I tried an experiment for a friend who asked how well it can recreate a vintage gas sign (he’s a gearhead so has a fancy home shop). So quickly google searched a vintage texaco sign cut it out with photoshop it was all rusty and scraped up. I was lazy so didn’t glowforge the base but instead just created a 2.5mm thick 200mm diameter cylinder in PrusaSlicer and sent that to the printer, then threw the disk into the eufymake and dropped the image onto it. This is printed in White-CMYK flat, looks absolutely convincing (if I did texture print the rust would likely be “rustier” but overall looks amazing. The printer could have printed larger but that left the art at 300dpi.
Hand for scale (no my hands are not weirdly sized)

Wow! Very authentic looking. I think your friend may be requesting more signage for his fancy home shop.

Great job! Very hard to tell it isn’t metal looking at it. I’m sure your friend will be super excited about it!

Quick snapmarks tip: Add a white background around the 
bug when printing on the Eufy, as the snapmarks tool picks it up better, especially on clear acrylic.

That’s a great tip as I am about to do a bunch of hat-leather patches. I wish the Glowforge could do what the Eufymake can when it finds the contours of the part and fits your image onto it. I know the Epilog Fusion can do that with a sheet of patches (see Laser 911’s video showing it) where he just lays down a full sheet of UV printed patches and then the laser hunts them on the bed and cuts each one out. But snap marks are a slightly clunkier alternative for this use case.
This is going to be the first patch, this is the SVG of the farm’s logo and used the AI editor in the studio to make it into an embroidered patch, which looks pretty cool actually. I love that it leaves the occasional tail of thread to not be too-perfect. I went with the Lone star adhesives Heritage leatherette which is laser safe and heat activated adhesive. Supposedly doesn’t smell as bad as real leather. Also going to try some hot-foiling on leather for bookmarks, which Ashlee Falco shows on her hot foiling tutorial.
