Now that I have ordered an Xtool E1 uv printer, I’m getting all excited about the possibilities. There have been a few postings here, but not a lot. I’d love to see your projects! Even those that don’t feature laser use. Bring em on!

Here’s just a couple more of mine. My 14 year old granddaughter wrote her second book and had it published so I made her a tiny one for a key chain. The other one is a water bottle. My 7 year old grandson is the one riding the dirtbike on the bottle. It’s a raised texture and looks awesome. It prints pic quality wonderfully. You’ll have a blast!

Following as I can’t. But I want as many of you as possible to get one so I can trade CNC or 3d printing for UV printing.

The Omni 01?
xTool just posted a shipping update with pics on Reddit.
Went full send on this end as well. 
Some point this month, I’ll need to look up suppliers for lenticular blanks.
Have you seen the “stained glass” prints people are pulling off?

Wow, I’m impressed your granddaughter has already written 2 books at her age! And your grandson riding motorbikes! You must be very proud, and so you should be!
Your prints look great too!

I’ve been in kind of a creative slump, but the last thing I made was mainly to entertain myself. I probably already posted this somewhere. I changed jobs recently, and I wanted to do something to cap off my time there. I was looking around the workshop at all of the products I’ve accumulated over the years (the old “I’ll make something with this eventually”) and found a bag of small wood discs. Challenge coins are everywhere, so I thought of an idea, dumped it into AI, did a bit of refinement, and made up a bunch of these to hand to my coworkers on my last day. Bonus Glowforge content as I laser engraved the back.
I’m sure I also mentioned this somewhere, shameless self promotion, but I made a web site a while back to catalog stuff to print on and I’ve been slowly working my way through creating test videos for each item. You can get a better deal in bulk from the various industrial suppliers, but I’m lazy and usually get blanks from Amazon, so I after sorting through to find materials I figured I might as well make this.

There’s a method of printing that doesn’t require ‘lenticular blanks’, just cut on GF and print and the print with the height map makes it lenticular…

The possibilities are endless. Here’s a pic of my granddaughter on her own special silverware at Mimi’s house. And, a minimalis wallet (plugged in because it’s rechargeable and has ‘find me’ ability).

Ooo, thanks for that—will check it out!
Everyone’s projects are awesome, and the funny thing is they are quite unlike other things I’ve seen on YouTube and the like. Bring more!
