This video showcases Patrick Campanale's creation of a two-sided pirate-themed challenge coin using the xTool O1 Omni UV printer. He outlines the steps involved, including scanning the coin, preparing artwork for both sides, choosing texture over relief printing, and utilizing a makeshift jig to ensure accurate alignment.
Patrick explains his workflow within xTool Studio, detailing the process of scanning the coin, aligning graphics, and selecting print settings. He addresses technical challenges like Wi-Fi connectivity issues and demonstrates how to overcome them using a USB workaround.
The finished coin took approximately 40 minutes to print with an ink cost of roughly $0.21. Patrick emphasizes the importance of batch printing for increased efficiency, noting that xTool Studio estimates significantly faster production times when processing multiple coins simultaneously.
Patrick concludes by sharing insights into potential applications for textured prints beyond challenge coins, such as custom game tokens. He also announces his upcoming appearance at the Next Level Maker Summit and offers a special shout-out to viewers who attend and mention the video.
