What Is the eufyMake E1? Anker's 3D-Texture UV Printer

The eufyMake E1 is a desktop UV printer that prints raised texture, not just colour. That one capability is why it gets talked about, and why it is easy to misunderstand.

It is not a 3D printer, despite Anker’s 3D-printing history under the AnkerMake name. It decorates objects you already have.

Key Takeaways

• The E1 prints up to 5 mm of raised texture, which is what separates it from every other desktop UV printer.
• Two bundles: $2,409 machine and ink, $3,209 with rotary and laminator.
• The real limit is object shape, not material — 330 × 420 mm flat, or cylinders on the rotary.
• It is not a 3D printer. It decorates surfaces.

What Is the eufyMake E1?

A desktop UV printer made by eufyMake, a brand of Anker Innovations. UV printing means the ink is cured by ultraviolet light the instant it lands, so it hardens on the surface instead of soaking in.

That is why a UV printer can print on things that absorb nothing at all: metal, glass, acrylic, stone. The general principle is covered in what a UV printer is.

The E1 takes that one step further. Because each cured layer is solid, it can print another layer on top, and another, until the ink itself has height.

How the E1 Prints 3D Texture

eufyMake calls it Amass3D. In practice the printer lays colour, cures it, and repeats, building relief up to 5 mm tall on top of the object.

Used well, that gives brush strokes you can feel on a canvas print, a leather grain on a flat panel, or a raised emblem on a card. Used badly, it is a thick plastic scab.

It is worth being precise about what this is. The result resembles embossing, but nothing is pressed — the height is added material, not deformed material.

Colour resolution is quoted at up to 1440 DPI, and the cartridge set is CMYK plus white plus gloss. White matters more than it sounds: it is the underbase that makes colour readable on dark wood, black acrylic or bare metal.

What the eufyMake E1 Can Print On

eufyMake claims 300+ compatible materials, listing metal, wood, acrylic, ceramic, stone, glass, canvas, leather, fabric and film.

Treat the number as marketing and the list as accurate. UV ink bonds to nearly any rigid surface; what varies is how well it survives flexing, washing and abrasion afterwards.

The real constraint is geometry, not material. The flatbed handles objects up to 330 × 420 mm. Anything round needs the rotary attachment, and anything larger than the bed needs to be printed as a film and applied.

eufyMake E1 Bundles and Prices

Two bundles are published on the product page, and the difference between them is attachments rather than the printer itself.

On 13 August 2026 eufyMake cut both bundle prices by $90, attributing it to lower ink costs. Prices here were read that week and are worth re-checking before you buy.

What the $800 difference buys. The rotary attachment prints on cylinders, cones and mugs. The laminator turns printed film into UV DTF stickers that stick to objects the printer cannot physically hold.

A roll-to-film attachment for prints up to 10 m is listed as coming soon. If long signage or sticker batches are the plan, that is the part to wait for.

eufyMake E1 Specifications

Two of those matter more than the rest. At 20 kg it is a machine you place once, and the three-month print head warranty tells you which part is considered consumable.

What the eufyMake E1 Cannot Do

It does not cut. Nothing is removed, ever. If the design needs a shape cut out of the material, that is a different machine entirely.

It is not a 3D printer. The 5 mm ceiling is texture on an existing surface. AnkerMake, the sister brand, is where the actual 3D printers live.

It will not print an object bigger than its bed. The workaround is UV DTF: print on film, laminate, apply. That is what the laminator in the Deluxe Bundle is for.

Idle time costs money. Print heads need cleaning cycles whether or not you printed. One buyer on the product page puts daily-use upkeep at roughly $54 a month, almost all of it deep-clean and priming ink rather than ink on the object.

eufyMake E1 Alternatives

The E1 sits in the middle of the desktop UV bracket, so the alternatives split by what you give up rather than by price alone.

One thing worth correcting up front: entry UV printers do not really undercut the E1. The cheapest Procolored flatbed saves about $110, and every larger model in that range costs more.

Prices read from each vendor’s own store in August 2026.

1. xTool O1 Omni

Slightly pricier, and does more jobs

Price$2,499, up to $5,249 for the DT+UV bundle

PrintsUV, UV DTF, DTG and DTF

3D textureNo

Best atCovering four print methods in one machine

Configurations8, from UV standalone to a DT+UV bundle

The direct rival, and $90 more than the E1 at base price. Where the E1 goes deep on one trick, the O1 Omni goes wide: UV on objects, UV DTF stickers, plus DTG and DTF for garments. If shirts are any part of your plan, that is a category the E1 simply does not enter. What you lose is the thing the E1 is famous for — it prints flat colour, not the stacked layers that build a raised, touchable surface.

Pros

• Only $90 more than the E1 at base spec, for far more capability
• Covers garments as well as objects
• One machine instead of a printer plus a DTF setup
• Bundle options if you want the rotary too

Cons

• No 3D texture building
• Four processes means four sets of consumables
• The cheapest configuration is UV only

The better buy if your work is varied, especially if shirts are involved. Not a substitute if raised texture is the reason you wanted the E1.

2. Procolored V4 UV Printer

Cheaper, and does less

Price$2,299

Print area4.7 in, A5 class

3D textureNo, flat colour only

Saving vs the E1About $110

Range above itV6 Panda $3,599, V11 $5,199, V11 Pro $5,999

The entry flatbed people mean when they say a UV printer can be had for less. Priced live, the saving is about $110 against the E1, and the bed is a fraction of the size — A5 class against the E1’s 330 by 420 mm. It prints flat colour competently on small objects: pens, cards, phone cases, coasters. Above it, every Procolored model costs more than the E1, and the whole field is laid out in the best UV printers.

Pros

• Genuinely the cheapest way into flatbed UV
• Small footprint
• Fine for pens, cards, cases and coasters

Cons

• Saves only about $110 over the E1
• A5-class bed rules out larger objects
• Flat colour only, no texture
• Stepping up in size costs more than the E1

Only worth it if the objects you print are genuinely small. As a way to save money on an E1 it barely works.

Sold direct by Procolored.

3. xTool S1

A different job entirely

Price$1,299

Work area498 × 319 mm

TypeEnclosed diode laser

DoesCuts and marks; no colour printing

MaterialsWood, acrylic, leather, card, coated metal

Not a printer at all, which is exactly the point. If most of your work is flat sheet goods rather than objects, a laser costs half the E1 and does something no UV printer can: it cuts. Shapes, inlays, boxes and signage come off a laser in one operation. The trade is total on colour — a laser marks and engraves, so full-colour artwork on a curved object is out of reach. The field is compared in the best laser engravers.

Pros

• Around half the price of the E1
• Cuts as well as marks, which UV printers cannot
• Bigger work area than any of the UV options here
• Cheaper consumables — no ink at all

Cons

• No colour printing whatsoever
• Needs extraction and eye protection
• Material list is narrower than UV printing

The right machine if you are really making flat products. The wrong one if the appeal of the E1 was printing photographs onto objects.

Who the eufyMake E1 Is For

Worth it if

You sell personalised objects rather than sheets: phone cases, tumblers, signage plaques, leather goods. Texture is a visible upsell customers can feel in their hand.

You already outsource UV printing and the invoices are getting boring.

Not worth it if

You print occasionally. The upkeep cycles run whether you do or not, which punishes idle machines harder than most equipment.

You mainly need shapes cut, or you mainly print on shirts. Both are other machines — shirts in particular are a DTG or DTF decision, not a UV one.

Conclusion

The eufyMake E1 is a desktop UV printer whose one real differentiator is height: 5 mm of texture built out of cured ink, on objects you already own.

Price it as $2,409 for the machine and ink, or $3,209 with the rotary and laminator, and budget separately for upkeep that happens whether you print or not.

If your products are objects and the finish is what you charge for, it earns its place. If they are flat, or if they are shirts, the money belongs in a different machine.
