Source for custom labels inside guitar.

Anyone have a source for a company that can make custom paper faced labels to go inside a guitar. I've been printing them with a laser printer for years, cutting them out, and gluing in. I'd like something that looks better and is adhesive backed to sign, date, and stick inside guitar. Thanks

Anycubic Photon M3 Premium \ Wash & Cure Plus - $500

I'm just not using this printer so making some space for other tooling. This is an Anycubic Photon M3 Premium 8K resin printer. The resolution on this thing is amazing.

Printing metal

I used to run a cnc punch press at a machine shop. It was a Trumpf. For some reason the brand just showed up on my Instagram and I checked it out. Apparently they make printers that print metal powder. @member are you ready for the next level? Might be interesting for custom hardware. https://www.trumpf.com/en_INT/products/machines-systems/additive-production-systems/truprint-1000/

On Sale: Bambu A1 Mini

Bambu just dropped the price of the A1 Mini to $249! Now, I don’t have experience with this exact printer (I own a Bambu P1S) but there’s been a lot of hype about this entry level machine, and I’ve had a great experience with the brand. Figured I’d share! https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1-mini
