Hi guys!!! I hope everyone is well and keeping busy, I just wanted to post something I came across whilst traveling last week, this is a great example of poor workmanship, I couldn’t help but take a video this is some of the new work done in my airport! Crazy to think this was accepted! So if you ever feel nervous in getting started remember this post hahaha 🤣

🤣 they are off by over a half inch on the seem lining up😱🤦🏻♂️🙄 you’re right how did they ever let the installer get away with that. How does the installer not have the pride to redo it.

3D Murals NI's Journey 🇮🇪
👋 Hi everyone, I'm Gary from 3D Murals NI, based in Northern Ireland. I'm just starting my journey with my first wall printer and can't wait to learn from everyone here. My focus is creating high-quality wall murals, floating mural designs, custom artwork, and eventually canvas collections for homes and businesses. I come from an engineering background, so I'm excited to combine precision with creativity. Looking forward to learning, sharing my progress, and helping others where I can. Thanks for having me! 🇮🇪☘️

@Gary Martin good luck, I know waiting for it to arrive is the hardest part lol. I’m not to familiar with the mechanics of that printer but if you have any other questions on the business side or printing aspect feel free to reach out.

Weekend prints
I did these 2 prints this weekend at a local school. I actually printed 3 prints but the the walls were very badly skim coated and not even at all. I had to turn the z axis off because the head kept hitting the wall. The third print was great for 4 and a half feet of the 5 1/2 foot wide print before the gap from the wall to the printhead became to far away from the top right of the image causing it to be blurry. But short of re skimming the wall their wasn’t much I could do about it. I included the video of the 3rd print that went off the rails so you can see why it’s so important to have straight walls😩 the messed up part is the top right of the image at the end of the video. Another lesson learned unfortunately.

Ben it does have a top and bottom sensor but the variance was to great for it to adjust in time so the head kept hitting the wall on the way back down so I manually set it and turned the sensors off it was the only way to print it without a head strike. You can see in this video the gap difference from bottom to top. And when I started the print the bottom gap was much closer at the start of the print then it is at the end of it.

For me it’s time management, the whole process is long start to finish. Sitting with a potential client explaining what wall printing is, then pulling out their vision for a space they were never even thinking about in the first place. The back and forth with designs ideas and changes. Then after that you have to hope they follow through. And after all that you have to break down the printer load it up transport it to the site set back up then run your print and sit there for hours praying 🙏🏻 it doesn’t fuck up and you now have to waste several more hours of painting the wall, waiting for it to dry and starting over. Now multiple that across a couple of clients and your time margins are nonexistent. Especially when you also have a full time job, because businesses isn’t as steady enough to keep a roof over your head and food on the table😂😂😂
