If you are tired of spending hours hand painting your resin prints or juggling multiple machines to get customized products, HeyGears has engineered a massive upgrade for your desktop. Launching on Kickstarter, the G1 Series is billed as the first desktop full color 3D and UV printer. By combining high resolution UV printing with 3D resin curing in one modular system, it allows creators and small businesses to turn digital ideas into vibrant, ready to use physical objects right out of the box.


PROJECT OVERVIEW

Name and Creator HeyGears G1 Series First Desktop Full-Color 3D & UV Printer by HeyGears.

What It Is The HeyGears G1 Series is an advanced, all in one desktop manufacturing station. It combines full color 3D printing, 3D texture printing, and 2D UV printing in a single modular platform, allowing you to print vibrant, fully colored objects without ever needing to pick up a paintbrush.


KEY FEATURES

  • Three Workflows in One The system is built to handle full color 3D printing, raised 3D texture printing, and flat or cylindrical 2D UV printing, making it incredibly versatile for everything from detailed character figures to customized phone cases.

  • No Painting Required It utilizes precision piezo inkjet technology paired with instant UV curing. This means the printer deposits the physical structure and over ten million colors simultaneously, creating finished, vibrant models layer by layer.

  • Simultaneous Transparent Printing An eight channel ink system allows the G1X to print completely transparent and full color elements in the exact same print run, allowing for incredible effects like colored details suspended inside a clear shell.

  • Industrial Grade Printheads The G1X models are equipped with the Epson i3200 printhead, delivering ultra fine droplets for sharp 1440 by 2400 DPI resolution and speeds up to three times faster than typical desktop UV printers.

  • Smart Auto Maintenance To prevent the dreaded nozzle clogs common in UV printers, the system features white ink circulation, printhead heating, and an automated cleaning cycle that triggers after three days of inactivity.

  • AI Powered Software The companion Blueprint Studio software includes AI features that can generate 3D models directly from text prompts or 2D images, making advanced creation accessible even to users without 3D modeling experience.

  • Water Soluble Supports Post processing is drastically simplified by using a water soluble support material, allowing you to easily wash away the scaffolding from complex geometric shapes without damaging the full color finish.


REWARDS

  • Kickstarter Pricing Early backers can secure the standard G1 Starter Pack at Super Early Bird prices starting around 1,999 dollars, which represents a massive discount compared to the planned retail price of industrial grade hardware.

  • Options Supporters can pledge for the entry level G1 Starter Pack or upgrade to the premium G1X models. The G1X Full-3D Pack and Deluxe Bundles come with all necessary Resin Stations and kits to unlock full color 3D printing right out of the box.

  • Delivery The Kickstarter campaign is incredibly successful following its July 2026 launch. The HeyGears team expects to begin shipping the first batch of G1X rewards to backers in December 2026, with standard G1 packs following in March 2027.


CONCEPT

The core concept is Streamlined Color Creation. The creators at HeyGears believe that bringing digital ideas into the physical world should not require tedious manual painting or owning an entire workshop of separate machines. By integrating high resolution UV printing directly with precision 3D resin curing, they aim to give artists, small businesses, and makers a single desktop platform capable of producing ready to use, professional quality products.


INSPIRATION

The project was inspired by the rapidly growing demand for customized, full color products and the sheer limitations of traditional desktop 3D printing. The HeyGears engineering team recognized that typical creators were forced to either settle for single color plastic models or spend hours meticulously hand painting them. Leveraging their expertise in advanced commercial manufacturing, they set out to shrink massive, industrial full color printing technology into a compact, accessible desktop machine that makes vibrant 3D creation available to everyday designers.
