Starting small goes a long way: 2D UV printing You may think full-color 3D printing is a must-have for HeyGears G1X Series, but the G1X Series also offers a pack for 2D UV and 3D Texture Printing, priced at just $2,799 after the limited-time cashback. The first and easiest way to get started with the G1X printer is printing in 2D on over 400 base materials, like plastic, metal, wood, glass, ceramic, leather, acrylic, and more. Have a tile you want with your design on? It’s really easy to do with HeyGears’ slicer, Blueprint Studio: Place your material in the center of the print bed, start a new Project, select your printer, start the Positioning sequence, and the Blueprint Studio software will automatically calibrate and find the edges of your materials on the print bed so you can import your image or design and rescale to your heart’s desire–then hit Print.

The possibilities feel almost endless, but you’re not limited to just 2D surfaces. HeyGears also has a Rotary attachment that allows you to print onto cylindrical materials like water bottles, glass vases, or metal rods. Support for the rotary module will be available upon launch.
Even better, this 2D UV printing capability isn’t just versatile. It’s remarkably fast and precise. The G1X delivers up to 12x print speeds compared to traditional F1080 UV printers, letting you complete projects in a fraction of the time. Plus, backed by G7 highest-level color certification and with HeyGears’ self-developed wide-gamut inks, including light cyan (Lc) and light magenta (Lm) inks, your prints deliver higher color accuracy and a professional-grade finish every time.
Once you’ve mastered 2D UV printing, breathe more life with 3D-texture mode
