Selpic S1 Review // Print on (almost) Anything
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ย. 2019
- Selpic sent me this very intriguing bit of tech: The S1 handheld printer. It's like a labeling machine, but it prints directly onto all sorts of different surfaces, including fabrics! Enjoy this review to see what this handy printer will and won't do.
Selpic S1 is now on Amazon : amzn.to/3cY1hSS
A newer version of the app has been released. Custom images and more fonts are now supported!

Thanks to Selpic for sending me this printer for review. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, thanks for following along and supporting my making!
I've been told that the next version of the Selpic app released Dec. 6 will add the ability to use custom images and other improvements for both the S1 and S1+. Great news :)
Make Anything happy thanksgiving
Thank you for all the work u put into this channel, honestly from the bottom of my hearth thx. I literally wait for you videos to come out especially after school.
Would love to see a video about that!
Can I use it with a Windows laptop instead of a mobile phone app?
Has base to set it down, lays it down on its side
That no custom images I feel is a bit of a deal breaker in my opinion
I agree.. I hope they stick to their word and make that update next month
Make Anything if they make that update are you going to do a video on it?
@@blackhawk2788 if I come up with some cool ideas I'll be sure to share :)
$200 is a lot for me as an end user. Buying it for company and not being able to use at least company logo is useless. There is similar product COLOP e-mark, you can use custom images and even colors.
@@make.anything You can still do ASCII art ;)
not printing user definined images is more like a "make something", not "make anything".
The only label machine that can’t label itself
"Sending successed"
Sounds Chinglish

Someone's gonna be real confused finding the entire story of Darth plagueis the wise in small lettering at the back of a bathroom stall
If you could add custom images I see this being used for signatures at events/conventions
TheSpinBeast at that point, you might as well print out a signature from the internet
Yeah!
A registration jig would be nice so you could make larger prints kind of like a mosaic print
A registration mark on the side showing the print position is something that should have been applied from the start, this is something simple but 100% necessary, registration marks is printing 1-01
I agree. My thought is to add registration marks to the edges of the printer so you can properly line up multi-line prints.
Devin, is "losing your underwear" a common problem for you? Lol
He parties hard!
In California they do strange things.
You know wildfires
Didn’t that ever happen to you? I usually notice I lost my underwear when closing my zipper and things get stuck...
I'd rather put serial numbers on my socks to enable easier matching.
looking like that? probably

Everybody: ah right, he'll make the "Make Anything" logo in ascii art
Devin: Print all the G code!!!!!
You consistently deliver great videos. Thanks!
"Just about as good as your standard inkjet printer". To be honest, the quality looked about as good as a dot matrix. Looked poor, but ok for shop labelling print out work.
I mean printing a full on a4 piece of paper probably isn't its normal use case, it's a lot faster and wip as well
I'm excited to see what happens with that in the future
Honestly, I'm surprised things like this actually work; the first time I saw something of this sort advertised, I was certain it was just one of those vaporware Kickstarter scams. That this even partially lives up to expectations gives me a ton of hope for the future of similar devices.
Definitely not the first of its kind. These kind of quick-dry rolling printers have existed and been available on Amazon and AliExpress for years.
What would i search for to get one?
@@FishSnackems For example Handjet. There is also a recent Kickstarter by EveBot called the PrintPen, which reminded me of something very similar a couple of years before, as does this Selpic product.
And those are multicolored too.
Probably an industrial HP printhead/cartridge combo, intended for factory flying marking systems.
Been available in industry for decades, that's how they print best-before-dates on eggs.
That thing is perfect to make a joke of hiding QR codes everywhere!
Oh so that's the look you've been going for. Nice to finally get the reveal Devon! ;-)
I just saw ads for basically the same thing under a different name called Princube and another one called Printbrush. This is the first one I got to see with an actual review so thats nice. I could see these becoming more practical as time goes on
Always so creative
wow, that macro lens shot of the shirt looks so... so... what's word i'm looking for, looks so surreal... so cool!
Definitely the start of something great 👍
Peter Draws did a video on a printing device like this one too! I see people saying that it should print photos you choose, and the ones peter reviews actually does. But i didn't know there were more printing devices like this, thanks fo rthe video!
Good review
,This could really use an optical mouse style motion sensor directly under the print head.
Doesn't work well on glass though, but the compromise might be worth it.
@@lollandster sensors with laser diodes actually work.
@@danielprimostuart I have one of those and it is true that it works on glass, but not all glass (cleanliness doesn't seem to be the factor). But as I said I think the compromise would be worth it, especially if the sensor was in-line with the printer head or at least very close.
Adding two of them would compensate for the rotation of text:))
Digging that old school jacket.👍
I saw a crowdfunding campaign for such a printer. Looked good and seems interesting
THE HAIR!
Great video as aways!
Actually, this make me amazed
Note to self: buy tequila to clean Selpic printer. Also get limes, for vitamin C.
wow this is the contraption ive always wanted
Sounds like an open-source project using a standard inkjet cartridge filled with quick-drying ink, a 3d-printed enclosure and a raspberry pi could be winging its way to a Github near you
Woaw. Good video
Neat piece of tech! I think I'll wait on the next version to be sure it can do the images properly, but a label maker has always been one of those things I wanted because it is useful.. and a toy. This could be exactly what I want for my prop packaging. I'd probably set up an image template on the computer so I could just completely customize the print beforehand and avoid any kerning problems on the device - which makes me wonder about size restrictions for the image data.
It'd be neat if it let you store multiple prints so you didn't have to keep using the app to change out every line (or three lines) of the printing, but I'm guessing we mostly won't be doing lots of gcode shirt prints...
I love your background music
Thanks for reviewing and saving me $200!
For fast labeling e.g. as a self employed producer this is a godsent
Thanks for the review! I’ve been looking into these for some personalization and a small side business I have im interested in seeing this go head to head with the princube. Not sure if you heard of it but it looks just like this one but comes with more tools that can help with glass and uses a laser guide instead of the guide wheel. Would be awesome if you could get a hold of one and do a review!
The hardware looks pretty solid. Maybe some registration marks to align multiple lines.
Other than that, it looks like all the problems are limitations in the app. Would love to see a re-review after a couple of software revisions.
This is excellent for labelling stuff.
I’ve 100% been dreaming of GCode a shirt like that for months, but for a vertical mill program! I would 100% get a Marlin based Make Anything shirt immediately upon availability. Now that’s cool.
I'm currently waiting for a PrintPen by Evebot. Their campaign suggests that it allows uploading of custom images out of the box. I don't know what I plan to do with it, but I'm excited.
I'm digging the beard. It's a good look on you!
I use the same ink cartridge at work and they tend to dry but you can wash them with aceton
What if you uploaded an image with the same color pallet and size. And just to be extra sure. Replace one of the images by naming it exactly like it is in the file?
"endless possibilities"
200 bucks
No custom images
Its a 300 for me
Does it print on skin? How long will the 'tattoo' last if it does?
Yes. I want to see that!!
@49jubilee .... Tattoos dont get into the blood... not even close
Peter Draws used a similar device on his arm. It was a printer pen. It does shapes and art, not just words.
Hilary Cardozo i saw an ad for this, and they say it does print on skin!
@@Studio7g it does. The ink gets in your vessels but it is a very tiny amount, thats why you cant donate blood before a year passes
Woah that's cool
Very interesting. i can see lots of possibilities for this kinda thing.. As for the current 200$ pricing, im gonna wait and see if anything else is coming.. Custom print being the obvious thing. Still exiting stuff.
Wow a picture really does say a thousand words
Metal and glass is impressive. If they fix the kerning issues and support custom images, I might want one.
If you print directly onto metal foil (copper, aluminium, etc) you could perhaps use it as etch resist for lithography. To make circuit boards or art designs.
You'd need to test the ink to see if it can protect from any of the common etchants.
The old Devin is back! :))
Wow that’s a good think
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON A CAKE 🎂
If I only had that back in high school, there wouldn’t be a bare spot on the walls. LOL
Hey Devin,
You should make a jig to make it go straight on the x axis and moves at a constant speed for this.
Happy Thanksgiving
If you can get access to the font folder of the app, you might be able to substitute your own font made from images (like a wingdings font).
0Calvin This guy exploits ^
Legend has it that nothing in his life has remained unprinted. Nothing.
The joke you said was very funny..... HaHa
“I’ll go ahead and wipe it down with these soggy cotton balls that Selpic mailed to me. I’m not exactly sure what they’re soaked in but it smells more like tequila than isopropanol”
14:30 😂
i worked at a place that had an industrial version of this. looked like someone made in there basment but it had the exact same functionality and it used an hp laser jet cartridge.
A) can you wash this shirt without any problems ?
B) can you print something on a 3d printer's bed and then 3d print something on that area ?
Γιώργος Νανούρης with B probably not just like if a logo is on a print bed it will sometimes stick to the bottom of prints
Why do you want to print someting on the printers bed?
I see possibilities! Just not yet! Thanks!
I backed the PrinCube on Indiegogo - looks like the better option imho. With that you can do custom images and multiline-printing and on-skin printing as well.
7:35
If that's the case, you could do a soft mod and replace one of the files with your custom image. All you need to do is make sure the new image is the same resolution, name, and file type as the old one.
Nicee!
Why don't they use laser mouse sensors to measure distance moved instead of the rotation of the wheel?

when printing on fabric does the print withstand washing?
My dad uses something similar in his company all the time to label the big containers etc.
I wonder how permanent the ink is on the fabric (does it need to be additionally heat treated lest it wash off)?
Ur my favorite channel and im getting my first 3d printer sooo thx
And btw first!!!
The coding thing, thinking about it, would be really cool for bands for tour shirts with all the locations on the back. Also, what happens when you wash the clothes? Does the shirt keep the ink? Will the glass wash off in the dishwasher?
I kept misreading the name of it as “Septic” 😂
What’s the difference between this one and the S1+ that’s being released on 01/03/20
This would be AMAZING for printing sheet music on the go. There just has to be some kind of open source software, instead of what’s essentially a disappointing word processor.
I mean, for those folks who don’t do music, it would be so great for custom images and all that too.
I will buy that
I’m kinda obsessed with you
400k les go
If it works with PCB's we can use that as the perfect prototyping engraver, directly printing the pcb
A suggestion for Selpic. Add some registration marks on the edges of the printer to help line up the prints.
You could probably copy the image to clipboard on your phone and paste it on the text box to print custom images.
If you want to align it you could use some tape to align the side of the printer
There's a black variant on Amazon for $299.99. It's not the + and was first listed yesterday. One thing I did notice was the ink cartridges supposedly have just a six month shelf life. Maybe they're trying to clear out stock of the older, smaller models.
It's clever, needs an alignment tool so you can keep adding to something such as the shirt you did. There's a 3D printing project for you!
In all honesty though, for the price it should work with any true type font you can throw at it. Four fonts with weird kerning? I don't get the reason for the limitations.
print it on square glass might be easier...great love it
No mention of an indicator for ink or charge time remaining? How about a wash test until it fades off that shirt? Or a wear test to see how durable the inks are? When it does support graphics can it be used on human skin? Temp to long term (not permanent hopefully) tattoos would be a cool and profitable use for this type of handheld mobile printer. Also useful at clubs or other events instead of UV stamps, bracelets, printed paper tickets, etc.
Try printing on a Teflon pan!
22:06 If Devin make a secondary channel called “Label Everything”, l would definitely watch it!
You know it must be an awesome product when it's got "Endless possibilities" slapped on the packaging.
The next generation of the marker that people use on one guy after a heavy party.
Great ！
Interesting concept. Glorified label maker I suppose for now.
Try out the Mbrush next. For only $100 it can print in color, and any custom image you want!
I bet you could make a jig for holding things to print on and make it straight.
Maybe masking tape for the wheel to grip on when doing glass. Honestly the wheel should be grippier.
Doesn't the box say you can use it with a Windows / Mac as well? Seems easier to me than doing everything on the phone.
I half expected you to make an image by overlapping different texts or punctuation
Imagine if they made a bigger one of those that could print anything you want on an entire page, now that would be cool...
Quite amazing is it available on Amazon?
Great video! Did the shirt wash well?
When you washed the printed t-shirt, did any of the printed text come off?
I wanna know this info tooo..
"Sending Successed" lol
You could maybe 3D print a Jig for aligning the printer?
