Hello everyone,
A new Monday is here. How was your past week? With the D2 DTF Printer starting to reach more hands, it’ll be interesting to see more discussions and first impressions showing up soon.
What’s Been Shared
Over the past week, we’ve seen some really enjoyable projects in the community, especially creations made with iPaint. From @rinsky’s Hello Spring Card to @kimberlyrudy’s Cat Mom drawing, there’s a sense of simply enjoying the process and trying things out.
@Samantha_Bryant also received her iPaint and shared her full experience from setup to first draw in Full Setup to First Draw
There’s also a series worth noting if you’re just getting started. A “10 things to know when starting with…” set of guides has been coming together:
• @rinsky — 10 Things to Know When Starting with iEngrave
• @Cory_Barger — 10 Things to Know When Starting with the Auto Heat Press 2
• @Samantha_Bryant — 10 Things to Know When Starting with the Cutting Machine 2
All of them are quite detailed and practical, especially if you’re figuring things out for the first time.
What’s New

IdeaStudio PC version 3.1.0 is now available: Update Log Issue 5 Version 3.1.0

It’s been a week full of small experiments and new attempts, especially around drawing and trying out new tools.
Have you ever drawn something just for yourself? What was it?
Not only with my iPaint, I have many sketchbooks full of drawings I drew just for me. Drawing is a therapeutic escape for me.
you can really feel that “drawing for yourself” energy in these!
