# UV Printer? 3D Printer? HeyGears Says “Why Not Both”?

**[Hackaday](https://daily.dev/sources/hackaday)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

HeyGears has launched the G1 on Kickstarter, a hybrid UV flatbed and full-color 3D printer aimed at the prosumer market. It features a build volume up to 420×320×130 mm, an Epson print head, layer resolution as fine as 10 microns, and uses open-bottle CMYK ink (not locked cartridges). Early review units appear to match manufacturer claims. The super-early-bird price starts at $2,000, with retail expected to be higher.
