eufyMake E1 Bidirectional Printing: What the Q3 Plan Says
eufyMake says a Q3 software update will add E1 bidirectional printing. Its A4 test cut elapsed time from 18:34 to 9:30; rollout status remains unconfirmed.
Checked August 8, 2026: eufyMake says a Q3 software update will add bidirectional printing to the E1 without new hardware. Its A4 test fell from 18 minutes 34 seconds to 9 minutes 30 seconds: 48.8% less elapsed time, or about 95.4% more throughput. The post does not confirm current rollout status.

eufyMake says E1 bidirectional printing is planned for Q3
eufyMake says it will roll out a Q3 software update that enables bidirectional printing on the E1 UV printer without a hardware upgrade. In the company's A4 test using the same image and settings, standard printing took 18 minutes 34 seconds and bidirectional mode took 9 minutes 30 seconds. That is 48.8% less elapsed time, which is equivalent to roughly 95.4% more jobs per hour if setup and handling time remain unchanged.
The timing and speed figures are manufacturer claims, not independent benchmark results. The published test applies to one A4 job; it does not establish the same gain across white-ink density, varnish layers, texture height, maintenance, or file-processing time. The official post says Q3, but it does not show whether the update is currently deployed. Plan around today's E1 speed until the update is installed and verified on your own workload.
How to read the benchmark
The official test compares 1,114 seconds in standard mode with 570 seconds in bidirectional mode. The reduction is 544 seconds, or 48.8% less elapsed time. Dividing one hour by each runtime yields about 3.23 versus 6.32 theoretical A4 jobs per hour, a 95.4% throughput increase before loading, unloading, curing, maintenance, and software overhead. eufyMake says the update requires no new hardware.
Useful upside, not a present-tense guarantee: If the software reaches owners and holds the same quality on real production files, it would address one of the E1's clearest throughput constraints without changing the printhead. Buyers should still compare the machine at its current verified speed because the roadmap post is not a live deployment notice or an independent test.
- Has the bidirectional mode reached all E1 owners, a staged group, or no public production channel yet?
- How does the mode affect banding, white-ink registration, varnish, texture, and maintenance across real jobs?
Do not buy on the benchmark alone if:Your business case requires the promised throughput; confirm the update is installed and test the files, layers, and materials that drive your own queue.
Use current performance as the floor if:Plan around today's E1 speed until the update is installed and verified on your own workload.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will eufyMake E1 bidirectional printing be released?▼
eufyMake's official roadmap says the software update is planned for Q3 2026. The post does not confirm a specific release date or current rollout status, so owners should check their production software and eufyMake notices directly.
How much faster is eufyMake E1 bidirectional printing?▼
In eufyMake's A4 manufacturer test, elapsed time fell from 18:34 to 9:30. That is 48.8% less time for the tested print, equivalent to about 95.4% more theoretical throughput. It is not yet an independent benchmark across different files and ink layers.
Does the eufyMake E1 speed update require new hardware?▼
eufyMake says bidirectional printing will arrive through software and will not require a hardware upgrade. The separate high-capacity continuous ink system is a hardware accessory planned for later in 2026.
