Trying something new - Skip the decal- go direct.

[pwillard]

So I'm working on my Duster again, and I had a moment where I thought I would experiment. I was designing a decal for a waterslide application... But... I have a Eufymake E1 printer and I got a wild idea. Direct printing to the hood.

and the result of "directly printing on the hood?" I think... "not to shabby". Maybe not perfect, since the surface is not totally flat... but I'll accept it.

That looks pretty good. You printed that directly on the hood?!
Wow....

Wow I had no idea this was a thing, that's pretty badass!

That price tag......

Yes, this is clearly this is NOT why I own it... just a "what if" while it was sitting idle. I can also confirm that it makes decent water-slide decals, and as I showed, it does white. (Also, not why I got it.)

sitting idle.

Cool machine just the same!
These days it seems every time I turn around there is some new 'maker' device crossing the commercial/consumer divide...

I've printed my own decals for some years now and being nearly 80 I'll stick to that, although this is another great idea!
