How to Print a glass, bottle, cylinder, DIY BEST way!! My $15 DIY printing machine 

Swagmuffin he is in China. It is a lot cheaper there

Pamela Berry oh great,,, I'm gonna book a flight ticket to China for $900, then I can make this contraption for only $15. :)

Yeah, actually, I should clarify. I live in China, so the hardware and wood was only about $15US, less than 100RMB. I'm not sure the prices for hinges, springs, cabinet tracks and wood in the US lately, but it's probably double the price of here. Sorry for any confusion

Lol I love this comment! Well, I've been feeling like quite the inventor lately.. I will be sharing with RU-vid as I finish up with some very busy projects! I've been setting up our brewery and dealing with too many construction projects. There will be some epic demo videos to come!

I bought mine in China, but I did a search and found it on this site. Hope that helps. Let me know if you can order it there successfully. www.yoycart.com/Product/18373769326/

I've wanted to try UV ink, but I've never experimented with it. I'm sure it would work. You'd just have to do some material tests on nails.

It's not for nails it's what they use to dry nails I use it for making image transfers on reverse film I was wondering if I could use the uv machine for your concept....

The ink is made in China, it is called " 宏兴油墨“”

Nah, when this ink dries it doesn't wash off. It takes 24 hrs for epoxy based ink to fully cure.

@@andrewcrooksartstudio967 ok thanks

I learned a lot by looking at video and reading comments...something for everyone...good luck!!

Yeah, I have them rolling on old skateboard bearings, but other rollers would work.

Hi, I just got them on a Chinese website called Taobao. But I think Alibaba also has them in bulk. Not sure about your area, though

Hi! Yeah, I'm planning on doing at least one more printing project first, then do the making-of video. It's really not the making of the machine that's difficult, rather the testing and fine adjustments that are hard to dial in. I shot video of the build, so definitely planning on making it soon. Stay tuned!

Well very eager to knew it.thanks andrew

Yeah, pretty simple. Just need a squeegee set in place and your screen to move over a bottle that's on a set of rollers. When you push the screen forward the squeegee shouldn't move and the bottle will roll on the rollers. Just hard to get the whole thing calibrated. That's why I made mine super adjustable. Will explain in a video later.

Yeah, I'll put details up soon. I've just been busy getting back to teaching. It's a pretty easy build.

Did you see this? The world's first silkscreen etching with paste on glass! Bу the company “IVSATIN” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XOO86_PCQN0.html

@@glassetchingcream4023 world's 1st lol we were doing this back in the 90s

@@scotthendricks79 Yes, I saw! There are many videos on your channel about how you did it in the 90s. It looks like you were just trolling and spamming.

@@glassetchingcream4023 no I could go and convert our old VHS tapes showing it to you, but your a world's first kind of toss off at the wrist person. Don't be mad your 2 decades late to the game

@@scotthendricks79 How funny you are! Our scientists have developed a paste for silk-screen etching of glass. Only Italians have an analogue, but it is two times weaker. What exactly have you developed and where is your development sold? On videotapes? Empty words.

I just used my old skateboard bearings, since I skateboard. You can get them at skate shops. Or rollerblade bearings, machine bearings, any that roll well would work. I didn't need to dry this ink in an oven. It's an epoxy with hardener. Sets in 24 hrs. UV ink also works on glass.

Well, I live in China, so I use the Taobao website. Alibaba also has an international website.

"宏兴油墨“ it is one kind of screen printing inks

Thanks! Yeah, thought about it, but after I "designed" it from scratch and worked through the testing and initial prototype, I finally realized that a product already existed in China, but the only problem (Because it solved many of the problems that I encountered with printing) was that it was expensive. Not terrible, but definitely not as cheap as my machine. You really can't be doing it yourself for less than $20. And the inconsistency is actually the appeal, in a way. Each bottle/glass is a work of art and original.

ANy way of doing a DIY how to make this? Thank you

I made my machine for $15. The biggest investment was wood and dresser drawer rails plus some hardware. I used old skateboard ball bearings for the rollers and it all works excellent. If you know how to screen print it should be pretty easy. I'll be adding a building of video soon.
