EufyMake E1 UV Printer Review (2026): Add 3D Texture to Mugs, Magnets, and More
Key takeaways
- WIREDPrints on almost any surface in premium quality.
- While the E1's ability to print 3D textures is undoubtedly rad, it's still more than $2,000 just to get started—and that's without the hefty maintenance and upkeep costs.
- I’m mostly pleased with the EufyMake Studio software.
Why this matters: a development in AI with implications for how people work, create, and decide.

WIREDPrints on almost any surface in premium quality. Easy to configure and print with little prior knowledge.TIREDRequires a dedicated space with ventilation. Maintenance and ink costs add up and need extra planning.The eufy Make E1 from Anker is fundamentally different from the home printers I usually test. Many people use their traditional laser or ink printers for return labels, work notes, and sometimes full-page photos. While Anker describes the E1 as a “personal” printer, it calls upon special ink and intense UV light to print 3D textures onto a variety of surfaces, like ceramic, metal, or wood. It's not a full-on 3D printer, but it does offers features you won't find in a standard machine for your home office—like the ability to print directly onto a mug.
While the E1's ability to print 3D textures is undoubtedly rad, it's still more than $2,000 just to get started—and that's without the hefty maintenance and upkeep costs. Like a collection of power tools or a big pickup truck, the EufyMake E1 is probably something you'd prefer to find in your helpful neighbor’s garage. If you’re that neighbor, the E1 is easy to get rolling (perhaps after a bit of trial and error for design newbies) and prints onto almost anything in quality indistinguishable or better than store-bought. You probably won't use it to print your return labels, but the machine could help you kick-start a new side hustle.
