| My Alien Bunker DIY DTG Epson 1430 Build for Less than $30 Hey whats up guys, taught I share my video of my Epson 1430 DTG Build. After purchasing the printer on amazon. I spent less than $30 to purchase the wood and got started. Thanks to Johnson Manso at Alien Bunker, I got my build up and running perfectly.
Issues I ran into:
Open CD Tray Error: Just jump both wires that are coming from the Main Control Panel. If you jump the wires and your still getting an open tray error, you may need to repace the main control panel circuit board. Table shoots all the way out of the printer on startup: Check to see the your encoder sensor is plugged in and the red light is on. If the red light does not come on, you may need to replace the Encoder Sensor or the ASF Sensor that the other end of your cable is plugged in to.
And heres how it turned out.... PART 1 PART 2 |

| Re: My Alien Bunker DIY DTG Epson 1430 Build for Less than $30 Cool! Post some pics when you switch inks. and I'm curious to see the dif in vibrance between pretreated an not. I mostly screenprint, and my hood won't keep an expensive DTG printing often enough to justify, But that looks like fun for the $$ just to mess with.

| Re: My Alien Bunker DIY DTG Epson 1430 Build for Less than $30 Based on my research the Epson 1430 was the easiest and cheapest printer to convert to DTG. and its a wide format printer that is perfect for DTG. but most of the 1400 series printers are the same. The Epson 1390 is also good but it does not have wifi.
