Robo R1 vs DaVinci Pro 3-in-1

If the process to be used is dye sublimation printing, there is the consideration that layer lines might cause the film to bubble or entrap air bubbles in the valleys of the layers. If the model being printed is smoothed after printing, and has a uniform surface, it might not be as problematic. The above reference was based on commercial printing equipment. I have also found a maker type resource: https://www.wikihow.com/Dye-Sublimat...m-Printed-Mugs

This indicates that 204 deg C is used to apply the film. The drawing shows a pressure device being used. Expect that after the noted three minutes, the PLA or ABS is likely to be squished into an unrecognizable shape! PLA conducts heat fairly well and will distribute it through the mug, making the whole thing turn into mush.

You can soften PLA under hot water, so 204 deg C isn't going to be healthy for the mug. I expect that commercial versions of this printing device will be as hot.
