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... 1. Our Kickstarter is scheduled for Fall 2015. Stay tuned!
For fun we dipped a calculator. The keyboard is next
So, are you saying the machine is the dipping station, not the machine that makes the prints that get loaded onto the plastic sheets? We would send you our files and you would make the skins for us to dip in the tank you sell? Sorry if I’m making this more complicated than it is. At first I thought the system came with everything needed to produce the skins and to apply them to objects.
Also, are there materials that the skins will not stick to?
Thanks again. I guess when the Kickstarter video comes out it will be very clear.
Not a problem Tony_3 :). We are going to sell the dipping station (the Finuvo Aqua) as well as skins with pre-set patterns like the ones shown post: pine wood, brushed aluminum, cherry wood… In the future we are exploring ways to allow users to upload patterns that we would the turn into films that would work with the Finuvo Aqua. Thanks for your interest!
Got it. Thanks again.
This is great, more awesomeness added to our Marvin collection!
YES PLEASE!
Thats Rad! That opens up a whole new world, well done.
Thanks Christian, great to hear that everyone is excited about it as much a we are! Follow us on facebook 1 or sign up at our website to get all the latest updates!
Nice! I have been looking into this application over a year now and have been trying to locally source materials in the region I’m in for a while now with no success. Definitely following.
Hey Kayle-Ann, we certainly agree with that! It’s a great application but it doesn’t work in it’s current form for a lot of hobbyists. We want to make hydrographics for 3D printing accessible to everyone! Follow us on our facebook page for the latest developments and to hear more about our upcoming crowdfunding campaign
“Shut-up and take my money!” Congratulations guys what an awesome and innovative product that i have not seen ANYONE working on making available for the maker/bobby class of consumer. the price is on point and i can’t wait to have one! $500-$1000 USD makes sense you guys should be paying people to count your money soon.
Awesome Joe, thanks so much for your enthusiasm! We can’t wait to launch the campaign You can sign up on our website 1 to get notified when it does.

I have been doing this for years, way before I have even thought about 3dprinting… It is pretty cheap to get into too. If you want to do this at home all you need is a bucket of water and a kit from http://hydraphics.com/ 4, or the indvidual compontents from TWN industries. If you really want to get into if you buy yourself a cheap tank and a sump pump and build youself a continous flow tank to remove the film after you dip it. I think I have ~$150 into my setup.
Awesome! Makes me want to try to do it. When are the systems available?
Check out hydraphics, cheap and pretty effective. It’s where I got started.
Hey Architeuthis, it’s super fun you really have to try it! Our Kickstarter is scheduled for Fall 2015. To keep updated on our progress and our Kickstarter campaign check us out on facebook.com/Finuvo.
Hey Neua, we started off the same way! There are plenty of hydrographics kits available, but as I’m sure you can agree after trying those you want to move on to a better setup. You can certainly build a cheap tank with a sump pump, but even that has its problems and inconveniences not to mention the time and effort to build. It’s very similar to the debate between buying and building your own 3D printer. We are offering an automated system that can be safely used in a workshop or maker space where you keep your 3D printer. We’re also developing a whole ecosystem around hydrographics at a smaller scale with a much smaller learning curve than traditional hydrographics.
This is awesome! Will there be options to print our own designs one a special paper, or only premade ones?
Hey Logan! We have a specialized printer for printing off the Finuvo “Dippy Skins” onto hydrographic film. We’ll have a place for you to upload your own designs so we can print them and ship them to you quickly and cost-effectively.
This looks so cool. I can’t wait. I’m wanting to upload a hubble space telescope photo of a galaxy and hydro dip a cat 3d print where the cat is sitting up and looking up. As far as I can tell, making a custom hydrographics film in 8.5 x 11 is affordable, anything bigger than that gets expensive very quickly. So I’m having a hard time deciding how big the 3d print of the cat should be. I’d like to make it as big as possible (life size is my dream), but I think 6 or 8 inches tall would be good. I just don’t want to print something that’s so big that the hydrographic film can’t cover it all. Any suggestions? I’m new to 3d printing and hydrography and would really value any input your amazing brains might have.
Wow these look amazing!
Could you keep us updated on Hub talk please
love it!
