Osiro Posted April 14, 2015 Hi everyone, I have today started a kickstarter campaign to purchase a UV printer in the hopes I can create and one day sell my designs to the lego / AFOL community. I have raised a large percentage of the funds already but need to raise an additional £3500 to make this dream a reality. I would really appreciate it if you guys could take a moment to check out my campaign and perhaps even back it if you see anything that takes your fancy. http://kickstarter.c...tom-minifigures I am always on hand to answer any questions or comments you may have. Many thanks for your time. Shaun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silly_donkey Posted April 14, 2015 Interesting project. How does the UV printing hold up over time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osiro Posted April 14, 2015 Interesting project. How does the UV printing hold up over time? The UV printing is extremely durable, I've happily let my kids play around with the test figures and seen no signs of wearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpfirnhaber Posted April 14, 2015 What colors can you print in? Any metallic options? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osiro Posted April 14, 2015 What colors can you print in? Any metallic options? At the moment it will be able to print in all colours. It is possible to purchase a specialist metallic ink but i've not made plans to use it as yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpfirnhaber Posted April 14, 2015 If you can print Classic Space torsos with authentic-looking gold moons, I'll throw some money your way :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Posted April 17, 2015 Might not be a good idea to ask him publicly to break the law by reproducing LEGO intellectual property that could be used to sell create counterfeit minifigs. ;) Indeed! And joining EB for the sole purpose of promoting your Lego Ideas project isn't a good idea either. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, as long as other staff members agree.
