  1. Let's Build a DTF Printer (For as cheap as possible!)

    Fair! I had no idea what was in the middle. Knew it could be a little gummy when you use a v-groove tool. But that's about it. Well, I know that I learned something today.
  2. Is your shop prepared for the upcoming barter system?

    I mean....basically hahaha.

    Would the foam core of the ACM handle the heat?

  12. Haptic Printing.....

  13. Haptic Printing.....

    I mean basically yes hahaha. There is a clipping mask on the 2 images making alternating sections.
