Wow Z, this is a really neat process. This has probably been around for a while but I have never seen anything on this before now. It is as if anything that can be printed can be applied as a finish design on nearly anything! This simply takes part "finishes" to a whole nuther level!!
Two things to add to what you posted:
1. Watching "full screen" gives me an even better view of the print details.
2. Here is another video from HGarts that goes through the complete process, so that we can know everything it takes to get the completed part. There is more to the process than just dipping it.
