Great Where Do I get it? - How about a link to materials services or something.

Nothing special, it’s very similar to an standard inkjet printer where the size has been adapted to fit our dipping skins.

Hey n23d, we’ll be launching a Kickstarter campaign this fall, so you can follow us on Facebook and leave your email address on our website to get updates about that. We’ll be updated our website to give more info about dipping skins, and more details about the Finuvo Aqua.

Thanks so much!

You’ll love it when you try it :slight_smile: Thanks for your support Autofan!

Oh awesome! Great idea!

We will keep you posted, Johnsaen! We’ll be launching a Kickstarter campaign in the fall - you can sign up on our website to get notified when it’s available :slight_smile:

Hi Tony, we’ll be offering special pricing for pre-orders during our upcoming Kickstarter campaign - it will likely be between $700-900 for a unit.

We made two more Marvins lastnight with the Finuvo Aqua: Cherrywood Marvin and Pine Marvin :slight_smile:

What are the useable x,y dimensions of the printer/tank?
Will you offer any software to help make print designs or is there something available that makes it easy to get the creative patterns you’ve used?

Can you use pictures, bitmaps, etc…?

What materials will/won’t the mask stick to? I’m assuming it will work for a lot more than 3D prints.

Is there any prep required of the part being coated?

How long is the shelf life for the “ink”? My Form1 resins sometimes go more than their shelf life before I use them all.

Will the mask be water, heat and/or UV resistant? What chemicals will dissolve it?

Thanks again…

Your photo link doesn’t seem to be working.

So, are you just selling the skins or are you going to be selling a machine that will allow users to print and apply their own skins?

Hey Tony_3, We’ve designed the Aqua to accept parts from most 3D printers (at least 10" x 10" x 10"); you can used the Aqua to dip almost any part, and material without prep. The size of the Aqua itself is similar to the Formlabs Form1+ (that’s what we used to print the terminator). We will provide the dipping skins for all the designs and textures you’ve seen and will be constantly releasing new designs - we’re always open to suggestions! We are working on technology that will allow you to use your own pictures. The ink is very robust and can withstand heat, water, UV… Hydrographics is normally used in the auto industry. I hope that answers all your questions! To keep updated on our progress and our Kickstarter campaign check us out on Facebook: Redirecting....

Here is a part we printed on the Form1+ today and dipped in cherry wood:

Hey Tony_3, The photo should work now. We will sell both the machine and the dipping skins.

With Finuvo you can do the dipping yourself! The Finuvo Aqua is the world’s first desktop Hydrographic printer. With the Aqua you can dip almost anything! Check our Finuvo on Facebook: Redirecting.... Our Kickstarter is scheduled for Fall 2015. Stay tuned!

For fun we dipped a calculator. The keyboard is next :slight_smile:
