HeyGears G1 Series: See the first desktop full-color 3D & UV printer that can do it all

HeyGears has introduced the G1 Series, a groundbreaking desktop full-color 3D and UV printer that combines capabilities once reserved for industrial-grade machines. This launch comes after over a decade of experience in producing high-quality 3D resin printers by the company. The G1 Series is now accessible through a Kickstarter campaign, with the stretch goal of $10 million already met. At launch, the printer is available at a Super Early Bird price, accompanied by a free stretch goal reward.

The G1 Series encompasses several configurations, with the headline product being the HeyGears G1X Full-3D Pack. This all-in-one machine combines full-color 3D, flat and cylindrical UV, and 3D textured relief printing in a single device. It features a high-resolution Epson I3200-U1HD printhead boasting a 1440 x 2400 DPI resolution, ensuring intricate details and superior quality.

The printing volume of the G1X can accommodate items up to 330 x 420 x 130mm, making it highly versatile. The printer's compatibility extends to over 400 materials, including unconventional ones like wood, metal, ceramic, and glass, and supports transparent resins for unique effects.

For those starting out, HeyGears offers the G1X Starter Pack, encompassing the printer with an Epson I3200 printhead, perfect for high-fidelity flat and cylindrical UV and 3D-effect printing. They also provide a basic G1 Starter Pack with a 720x900 DPI printhead. The device is designed with a modular approach, enabling users to begin with a G1 model and later upgrade to a full-featured G1X Full-Color Pack by adding accessories like the resin station.

Beyond the impressive array of printing capabilities, the HeyGears G1 Series is engineered to optimize cost-efficiency. The printer's software aids in 3D model design and the automatic creation of 3D effects. Additionally, HeyGears supplies water-soluble resins, which simplify post-processing by allowing prints to be easily removed from the tray with a water soak.

Pricing for ink and resin is competitive, and the Epson I3200 printhead is designed to last up to 24 months, reducing long-term operational costs. The printer also boasts a quad-layer anti-clogging system, ensuring optimal performance and preventing issues like clogging or resin drying out during idle periods.

Interested parties can secure their HeyGears G1 Series units via the Kickstarter campaign, which runs until September 11, 9 A.M. PDT. The campaign presents bundles and early incentives, providing additional value for early supporters.
