A listener of the podcast not too long ago wrote in to let us know that, within the means of seeking to acquire a valid Hackaday t-shirt, they came upon this 2012 Instructable from [yeltrow] that covers how you’ll be able to affordably crank out your individual Wrencher shirts by the use of display screen printing.
Now traditionally, so long as you’re now not seeking to make a greenback off of our title, we’ve by no means felt the want to prevent other people from placing our brand on their tasks. So we’re now not too involved that any person was once making Wrencher shirts, particularly since they had been nearly definitely for their very own non-public use. Even though the truth that [yeltrow] it seems that described the challenge as a “Hackster-Taste blouse” to take a look at and steer clear of the usage of our title ended up being a prophetic 4D chess meta-joke that you just couldn’t make up if you happen to attempted.
Anyway, the explanation we’re pointing this out now could be as it’s a reminder of simply how easy it’s to spin up your individual display screen printing operation. Because the title implies, you stretch a work of window display screen between a body, glue on a work of paper that has your design published on it, minimize out the development, and increase — you’ve were given a stencil that allows you to hastily replica a bodily model of a picture with out the will for a CNC, laser, or any of our different fashionable contrivances. Right here it’s getting used with a can of spray paint on undeniable t-shirts, however it will simply as simply will let you tag your native brick wall.
At the moment, you’ll be able to merely add a picture report to any choice of websites and obtain a pack of professionally produced shirts/stickers/mugs/no matter in per week. However we expect it’s nonetheless a method value figuring out about. Now not simplest is it affordable and simple, however there’s a definite worth in having the general product to your palms at the identical day — it’s the similar reason why many hackers are nonetheless discovering tactics to make their forums at house regardless of the large availability of cheap PCB fabrication services and products.
Particular because of [Gregor] for now not simplest tipping us off to this one, however for tuning into our weekly Hackaday Podcast.
