👋 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! 🇮🇪☘️

When it comes to wall printing we all hit roadblocks occasionally, whats your biggest challenge your facing right now?

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.

I believe we should approach the wall printing business from a more artistic perspective. In my opinion, just as traditional artists don't constantly showcase their brushes and paint palettes, we shouldn't present our machines as the focal point. It feels like we might be more successful if we focus on selling the final product. What do you think?
