This new 3D and UV printer hybrid from HeyGears just passed $10 million on Kickstarter and looks sensational

HeyGears G1X UV printer.

My social media algorithm has done its job this week and brought the HeyGears G1X onto my radar. This is a brand new 3-in-1 desktop machine capable of full-colour, volumetric 3D printing, as well as raised 3D-texture printing, and flat 2D UV printing on pretty much any surface, in one singular enclosure.

Why is this a big deal? It's the first machine of its kind on the market that packs in high-quality colour 3D printing with the power of UV, for results that you won't be able to replicate using a regular FDM or resin 3D printer. It can print on over 400 materials, including glass, metal, wood, canvas, and acrylic.
