    Yes. It prints similar to an inkjet printer, but the inks are UV-curable. UV inks don’t need a special medium like coated inkjet paper, they stick to any surface. You can also layer multiple coats on top of each other to create reliefs (like resin printing, but with colours)

      So it’s a like a 2D printer but with like 3mm of height? What’s the “ink” made of?

        Well, kind of. Its main use is to customize existing stuff, like printing pictures on a phone case, custom key caps, and such. I don’t know what the ink is made of - I’m guessing a UV curable binder and pigments? Or liquid gold, judging from the price…
