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.
