Quick answers

- HeyGears lists the G1X at $4,999 retail and showed it marked down to $3,299 on its store on 23 October 2026 ($2,799 on 10 October), but it was out of stock there. Kickstarter early birds paid $3,299 for the G1X Starter Pack and $3,599 for the Full-3D Pack.
- When is the HeyGears G1X release date?
- HeyGears targeted December 2026 for Kickstarter deliveries, after the campaign ran from 23 July to 11 September 2026. Backers ship first, and the G1X was not open to order on the HeyGears store when we checked on 23 October 2026, so a store release date has not been given.
- What are the HeyGears G1X dimensions?
- The machine measures 580 × 660 × 510 mm and weighs 45 kg. The standard flatbed prints an area of 420 × 330 mm, and a smaller 130 × 230 mm mini flatbed is the alternative. The rotary takes objects up to 245 mm tall and 100 mm across.

Good points, and what to watch
Good
- The only one here that also prints full-color 3D objects (G1X Full-3D).
- G1X has the finest listed resolution (1440 × 2400 dpi) and light cyan and light magenta for smoother skin tones and gradients.
- Rotary support for objects up to 245 mm tall.
- Industrial Epson i3200 head on the G1X, rated by HeyGears at about 2,100 hours versus 700 for the G1's F1080.
Watch out for
- Not shipping yet: a crowdfunded product with a December 2026 delivery target.
- Big and heavy: 580 × 660 × 510 mm and 45 kg.
- Print head warranty is 180 days (printer 1 year).
- Retail prices after the campaign are planned to be much higher ($2,699 to $5,499).
Running costs
Official bottles work out at about $77-117 per liter at campaign prices, per 3DPCC. HeyGears says it kept white ink and support resin cheap.
At eufyMake's figure of 1.1 ml per phone case, that's $0.08 to $0.13 of ink per case, before cleaning ink, blanks and failed prints.
Work out a full cost per item with the running-cost calculator.
Who it suits
Makers who want UV printing and full-color 3D printing in one machine and can wait.
