I’m currently debating whether I should go ahead and order the EufyMaker E1 (given their recent release date with a very good limited time bundle deal) or wait for the upcoming xTool UV printer instead. xTool has been silent on release info since CES announcement that its to be released early 2026.

Does anyone know any details about:

• Expected release date
• Pricing
• What bundles/accessories will be included
• Ink refill costs
• Maintenance requirements/costs
• Print reliability and long-term durability

My decision is mainly going to come down to overall value, reliability, and ongoing ownership costs — not just the upfront price.

If anyone has insider info, early impressions, or experience with other xTool printers, I’d really appreciate it. I've seen lots of youtube videos from earlier reviewers and quality and performance looks to be about the same.

Thank you for your input!

Hobbyist here and completely new to UV printing and the EufyMake E1 UV printer. I’m looking for honest recommendations on whether I should or shouldn’t buy this machine.

Most of my experience has been with 3D printers and laser engravers (Bambu H2D and X1C), and I’d like to expand into UV printing for making unique crafts for family, friends, and myself. I can also see it being a great addition to some of my 3D print projects.

I’m not planning to start a business with it, although I wouldn’t mind occasionally selling a few custom items in small quantities if people are interested.

One thing that concerns me is that I’ve seen youtube videos advising against buying this machine unless it’s used almost daily. Some of the reasons mentioned were:

• The printer needs to stay plugged in and powered on at all times
• White ink may need recalibration or maintenance if the machine sits unused for too long
• Ink is expensive

Realistically, I’d probably only use it 1–2 times per week.

For those with experience using the E1 or other UV printers:

• Is this a bad idea for a casual hobbyist?
• How much maintenance is actually involved?
• Does it truly need to remain plugged in all the time?
• Have you had issues with white ink clogging or frequent recalibration?

Would appreciate any honest feedback before I spend the money. I'm tempted to buy one given the promotional bundle sale going on right now.

Thank you for your input!!

I’m new to familiarity to Eufy products. I’m interested in buying the E1 UV printer, but I’m a bit confused about the “pre-sale” May 6 status.

From what I can tell, this model has been around for an about a year —I’m seeing plenty of YouTube videos from users who already have it. That makes it seem like it’s not exactly new.

So why is it being labeled as a pre-sale now? Is this because it’s the first time it’s being released outside of Kickstarter distribution?

If that’s the case, how is this pre-sale version different from the E1 units that are already out there and being used by the public?

Would appreciate any clarification. Thanks.
