Title: Any way to DIY pad print caps?
Post by: TheVengeance on Sun, 29 May 2016, 02:15:43

I've started making some caps including some blanks.

Has anybody made a diy pad printing jig? Is this something I could achieve with a 3d printer / other material?

Custom waterslide transfers might be a good option.

Silk screening could be an option. No luck with double-shot molds?

This guy on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqwFM3unvUU) made a DIY pad printer, the video doesn't explain the details but I guess you can make the most of it; if not, you might wanna send him a message.
