Introduction
I may use wording like '...bought the course...' in this series, however because this course is now free, some of that wording is now of course redundant.
Welcome!
UV printing really is the peak of professional-grade results in your pedals. As we discuss, it's what a lot of hobbyists and big players use.
Now if you're coming from the PCB course, you'll know how great faceplates are (I love using them just as much as UV printing), however you also know it's limitations.
UV printing is a strange beast, because it's not printing on paper, there are some differences you should know about, and once you know about them, how to design for these differences?
That's what this course is about.
Enclosure examples
Below are a few examples of enclosures I've had UV printed, ranging from bare aluminium, to light and dark powdercoated enclosures.
What is UV Printing?
UV printing is basically a printer than can print on a bunch of stuff. People use them to print onto phone cases, pens, mugs and stuff like that. You probably see a UV printed object almost daily.
It's unique in a way that it's going to print directly onto these objects and right behind it, cure the ink with UV light to make it instantly set. On both powercoated enclosures and bare aluminium enclosures, the result is fantastic.
