¶ How to Avoid Non-Printable Areas
Software Tutorial
After opening eufyMake Studio and entering the canvas interface, load the image you want to print. Clicking the image on the canvas will display several parameters on the right side. The top margin and bottom margin correspond to the distance from the edge of the image to the top and bottom of the cup, respectively.
You can adjust these values by measuring the non-printable areas yourself.
Physical Tutorial
Apply masking tape to the non-printing areas at the top and bottom of the cup.
After printing is completed, remove the masking tape to achieve a perfect finish.
¶ Non-Standard Cup Printing Tutorial
(3D texture printing is not recommended，The video can be placed normally according to the QSG.)
| Cup Shape Legend | Place Legend | Precautions |
|
|
|
If the bottom is a curved surface, then a Follower Wheel Bushing is required. The slide arm needs to be pushed into the cup. |
|
|
If the size difference between the highest points after leveling the cup is ≤ 2 mm, it can be used with the rotating printing accessory. The slide arm needs to be pushed into the cup. After printing, wipe the rim with alcohol and then clean with hot water. |
|
|
|
During placement, the red-marked part must not touch the top of the slider. If it does, this cup is not suitable. |
If the cup is relatively light, please fill it with half a cup of water to add weight. Currently, only by adding an even amount of weight can sufficient friction be achieved to ensure printing accuracy. Since the top is positioned at the follower wheel and has a curved surface, the Follower Wheel Bushing should be installed to increase the contact area and ensure printing success. After printing, wipe the rim with alcohol and clean with hot water |
|
|
|
If the cup has external threads wider than 17.5 mm, and forms a complete cylinder when the lid is attached, the lid can remain during placement. If the bottom of the cup is higher than the top when placed, swap the top and bottom for placement. After swapping, flip the pattern 180° in the software canvas. The image margins in the software remain unchanged. If the contact area with the follower wheel is too small, use a Follower Wheel Bushing. |
|
|
|
If the cup has external threads wider than 17.5 mm and an irregular lid, place the cup upside down. When placing the mouth on the Follower Wheel, avoid contact between the external thread and the wheel; align an unthreaded area instead. After printing, wipe the rim with alcohol and clean it with hot water. If the bottom of the cup is higher than the top after placement, swap the top and bottom for placement. |
|
|
|
Glass cups must be coated with glass pre-coating liquid. If the bottom is higher than the top, swap the top and bottom for placement. After swapping, flip the pattern 180° in the software canvas. If the cup is light, add a counterweight. If the bottom is curved, use a Follower Wheel Bushing. After printing, wipe the rim with alcohol and clean it with hot water. |

¶ Tutorial: Printing When Cup Type Does Not Fit
| Reason | Legend | Solution |
|
Standard Cylinder Printing: The rotating printing accessory cannot print standard cylindrical objects shorter than 80 mm or taller than 245 mm. |
|
Print on a flatbed instead. Then, apply printable stickers or crystal stickers to the cup body after printing. |
|
Standard Cone Printing: The rotating printing accessory is not suitable for printing standard cone objects with a taper range of > 13 degrees. |
It supports most cups on the market |
|
|
Circular Object Printing: The rotating printing accessory cannot print circular objects with a diameter smaller than Φ45 mm or larger than Φ100 mm. |
|
|
|
Cup Handle Printing: The rotating printing accessory cannot print cups with a handle width greater than 50 mm. |
Unable to fit the cup handle with no gap or a gap <7mm between the top or bottom of the cup; Unable to fit cups with a handle width > 50 mm; |
|
| Non-Standard Bottoms or Tops: Cups with irregular bases or poor contact with the driving/driven wheels are not supported. |
|
|
| Height Difference > 2 mm: Cups with a height difference between the highest and lowest points exceeding 2 mm are unsuitable. |
