As the eufyMake E1 breaks crowdfunding records, it appears that Canadian innovators are eager to transform their ideas into textured, tactile products.

With the countdown on the last days of the eufyMake E1’s Kickstarter campaign, Canadian creators, small business owners, and technology aficionados are closely monitoring the situation. As the campaign comes to a close, the figures are quite remarkable: over $37 million USD raised from more than 14,000 supporters globally, including nearly 600 Canadians excited to incorporate industrial-grade texture printing into their homes and studios.

Originating from eufyMake, the new creative tool brand by Anker, the E1 has been generating buzz among creators for its capability to print tactile, 3D textures up to 5 millimeters thick on a diverse array of surfaces — such as flat panels, rotational objects, and even roll-to-film materials — all with professional-grade precision. Thanks to its Amass3D technology and ColorMaestro system, users can achieve millions of colors and realistic surface textures, making it perfect for custom products, art, and branding. The printer features a modular design that includes rotary, UV direct-to-film (DTF) laminating, and roll-to-film attachments, all contained within a compact form factor that’s 90 percent smaller than traditional UV printers — ideal for home studios or small businesses.

With increasing expenses for studio space and tariffs complicating international production, more creators are inclined to keep manufacturing local. The eufyMake E1 meets this demand, empowering Etsy sellers, crafters, and product designers to produce high-quality, customized goods directly at home — without the overhead or complexity associated with commercial printers. It’s a device built to support the side-hustle economy and a fresh wave of Canadian-made products. As someone thrilled to witness individuals utilizing tech in novel and innovative manners, I must say — I’m genuinely eager to see what unfolds next.

“The E1 UV is a pioneering device, a printer that delivers industrial-level precision and UV surface texturing into the homes and studios of creators everywhere,” stated Frank Zhu, General Manager of eufy. “This isn’t just about printing items. It’s about assisting individuals in building their brand, product line, or side hustle from day one with professional tools that were previously inaccessible.”

The Kickstarter campaign presents various bundles, ranging from the basic $1,899 setup to the complete deluxe package at $2,752, which includes everything from rotary and laminator attachments to a full materials kit. Early adopters have also enjoyed cash-back offers and exclusive stretch goals, such as complimentary ink and cleaning cartridges, making the deal even more appealing for backers.

As the campaign nears its conclusion, the eufyMake E1 is expected to ship in July, with Canadian backers likely to be among the first to experience this transformative technology. With nine days left, those interested in the eufyMake E1 can still check the Kickstarter page to see if any pricing tier meets their requirements.
