Alright, I promised I would give some more info on this when I had more time to play with it, so I guess now is the time to do that. I backed this thing on Kickstarter almost a year ago now, and I've had the printer for a couple weeks, and I guess I've had the ink for one week.

One of the main things I wanted this for was artwork on non-Tayda enclosures, and it did the job incredibly well. I'll probably end up doing a clear powdercoat over these to protect the print, as printing directly to metal can have adhesion issues, but the print quality itself is excellent.

The only other music-related thing I've done so far was printing on an aluminum pickguard for a partscaster I'm putting together. This one I already did a clear powdercoat over, and I love how it makes the colors in the print pop.

I think the only other things I've done have been printing refrigerator magnets and printing my name and logo onto my tablet case, but I'm sure there will be MANY more weird things to do.
 
That's great! I'll be interested to see how long the ink lasts / how much gets eaten in the cleaning process. Different setup, but I recall the Epson A3 printers we had in the Spori design lab would just burn through them since nobody printed frequently enough; the print-idle-clean-clean-print cycle killed that.

Are they retail yet, or just getting units to the backers? Wish I'd've had the disposable cash to throw at the kickstarter.

Pretty sure it's still on preorder for retail sales, there are still Kickstarter backers that haven't gotten their printer yet.

One week isn't really enough to gauge how much goes into cleaning, but so far the prints I've done have been pretty low ink because I haven't been messing with textured prints. For pedal work I would expect a batch of ink to last quite a while. My last printer was a no-name Chinese A4, and I basically printed 2-3 days a month so I would shut it down in between, then just flush the lines and printhead with isopropyl when it was time to fire up again. I like this a lot better.
