Weekly Update 71 | Starting Small, Making More

Hello Community!

A new Monday is here. It’s been getting a bit more rainy lately on my side, not sure how the weather has been for you.

Looking at the community feed last week, besides all the lovely projects, there were also some beginner-friendly posts and updates around the new arrival.

Here’s a look at what’s been shared this past week.


:cherry_blossom: New Projects

It’s the final week of the Easter activities, and we’re still seeing many lovely creations.

@MCVDFC shared a warm Easter Bunny Tealight Stand, a cozy piece that really fits the holiday mood.

@DianeB created a Resurrection Story ShadowBox, and the color combination in this one really stands out.

Spring-themed ideas are also continuing to show up.

@esti_pi shared a creative Pocket Garden idea. By pressing small floral designs above a T-shirt pocket, it almost feels like a little garden growing out of it.

@Nancy_Sierchio decorated a thrifted glass vase with vinyl in Signs of Spring. Birds, flowers, and butterflies come together in a very lively piece.

:seedling: First Shares

We also saw some meaningful first posts from new members.

@Fernando_Aguilar_Gri created a T-shirt inspired by Forrest Gump in BubbaGump.

@Emilie_Crapet shared a newborn memory frame made for her daughter, a piece that carries a lot of personal meaning.


:speech_balloon: Discussions

A common question we often see in the community is: “I’m just getting started, where should I begin?”

To make this easier, a helpful series has started: “10 Things to Know When Starting With…”

@Cory_Barger shared 10 Things to Know When Starting with the Auto Heat Press 2
@Samantha_Bryant shared 10 Things to Know When Starting with the Cutting Machine 2

Both posts are thoughtful and practical, and could be a great reference for anyone getting started. If you have your own tips for a specific machine, feel free to share them in this format too.


:star2: Community Updates

The new product that sparked a lot of curiosity last week is now officially here:
The HTVRONT D2 DTF Printer Is Here

If you’ve been following the teaser, now’s the time to take a closer look.

Sharing your thoughts also gives you a chance to receive a surprise material pack.


See you in the feed this week, curious to see what everyone’s making!

Thanks for the awesome update, Olivia! :heart: I loved seeing all of the beautiful projects that were shared throughout the week, and the “10 things to know when…” series is definitely needed. Thanks for coming up with that idea and inviting us to share our insights with the community.

The new D2 DTF Printer is absolutely amazing! I can’t believe how sleek it is and the self maintenance features make this printer a total game‑changer. It practically takes care of itself, which means more printing and way less troubleshooting. It’s definitely on my wishlist!

Here’s to another amazing week for all! :clinking_glasses:

Wow, it’s been such an amazing week! Thank you so much for the update, @OliviaZzz — I’m absolutely loving the new 10 Things to Know When Starting series. It’s such a helpful format, and I can’t wait to see more articles like these roll out.

So many beautiful creations were shared, and it was wonderful seeing the community thriving. One of my favourites was the adorable Easter Bunny Tealight Stand by @MCVDFC — so creative and so cute!

And then to finish the week with the huge announcement of the HTVRONT D2 DTF Printer… what a moment! The new printer looks absolutely incredible — sleek design, smart features, and such a game‑changer for small business makers. It’s been exciting watching everyone’s reactions and seeing the buzz build around it.

Here’s to another inspiring week ahead and even more creativity blooming in the community! Can’t wait to see the next community event announcement. :yellow_heart:

Thanks for the mention Olivia. There were so many wonderful cute creations entered into the Easter challenge. :rabbit:
The D2 printer looks like an amazing machine. The ability to print up to 13” wide is HUGE! Unfortunately, it will remain a dream machine for me personally, as it’s way beyond my budget. It’s still nice to dream though! :pray:
