The big $150 diy dtg thread has gotten so big now, it is taking people hours to read it. As people keep repeatedly asking where to get more information, especially the plans and the videos, I am putting some of the links here, so people don't have to keep breaking into other threads.
If you have other links to add to this list that will help people find the resources and supplies to build their own diy dtg, please feel free to contribute.
Thanks to Rodney for giving the DIY DTG its own category....
it had been down for an age anyway, the plans are linked on the uber thread in here. If you do go for it i would recommend a epson 760 (a4 version of the a3 1160 i use) if you can find one, even a very old second hand one, just get a new printhead (£75 in the UK), you get the pump with that a4 printer, making it a very viable a4 dtg.
By the way, had a call from another source that sells the brother and the first thing they told me is, everyone else uses a hacked epson as their engine.

hi guys just wondering if this is possible to do with a epson 1200. got one the other day and started pulling it apart today (no rest for the wicked) and before i get lost in this can someone tell me if this is in vain?
I'm a newbie but the home made DTG was very intriguing. Doesn't it require some kind of special ink to keep from bleeding or is it put on a heat press to set the ink or something?

Hi! We are planning next year to add dtg systems to our shop. I'm planning on experimenting with this homemade dtg printer as my stepping stone before buying a brand new one. Can I use this for printing on jackets?
The first post in this thread has links to some plans. You can also view other threads in this section that have information on building your own DTG machine
Since this is a resource thread, I need some information about one resource in particular. I need to know what people are using as a non skid surface /tape that rides on the drive rod in a friction drive machine. The only thing I could ffind at LOWES looked like sandpaper. 2Wouldn't that eat away at the stuff on the drive rod that is what makes it not be slick as glass? I that sand paper looking tape what anyone uses? Need to know because everything is tore down and I need to get this thing goins asap as my printer has been in pieces for a few days already and I need to be able to get it together as soon as I can get time from caring for the ol lady
German if you can without devulging too much tell where you obtained the cork and the part number. If it is part of the final plans do not worry about it. Thanks.
Seems that I saw a post where somebody posted the website of an authorized Epson repair guy who would sell your replacement heads, parts ect... Can anyone point me to this sight?
