I've been playing around with UV prints and have been learning a bunch about that side of the hobby. Really enjoying it so far.

The most recent is from aion fix and with the help of a forum member here I got it up and running today. It's their megalith which is a box of rock and a distortron in a single box. Has switchable gain levels and a sub control (low frequency manipulation) and an internal order switch for boost before or after distortion. Pretty cool pedal.

The second build is a Benson preamp clone from pedal pcb. Pretty straightforward no frills and really nice sounding!

what is the process? It involves a UV light somehow?

UV cures the ink quickly which, in some applications, can make for some cool stacking/texturing effects. It also enables printing on various non-flat surfaces.
Tayda offers a more simple service: white underlay layer (for printing onto dark enclosures), a color layer, and a varnish layer with either gloss or matte finish (they call it a "gloss" layer with "varnish" or "matte" finish for some reason).
Here's their page (https://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware/enclosures/enclosure-uv-printing-service.html), which can be ...difficult to read, as there's a lot of text.
It can be difficult to set up the file (they have very specific requirements to—at least I'm assuming based on my print design experience—to streamline the pre-press process, so they ask for it only one way). Although there are a number of tutorials out there to get it to work with Inkscape or Affinity Designer.
