Customize your T-shirt with a little elephant

Do you want to personalize your t-shirt with a little elephant and add a name inside? Download me, change the text, modify the size of your little elephant, print with TPU in your preferred color. Once printed, place the elephant on a cotton t-shirt, then place a layer of baking paper on top to prevent the TPU from sticking to the iron, and press with a preheated iron at a temperature between 150 and 200 °C for about 15 seconds, applying some pressure, wait 5-10 seconds, and repeat the operation. The elephant will then be completely heat-bonded to the cotton fabric

To make the logo semi-transparent, set the print thickness to 0.18 mm (as per the downloadable model); if you want a greater thickness, increase the print thickness up to 0.4 mm

To facilitate detachment from the print bed, as the TPU layer is very fragile, it is advisable to apply a layer of liquid glue before printing

The temperatures indicated for heat-bonding the logo to the t-shirt are purely indicative and may vary based on the model and characteristics of the iron used and the print. It is therefore recommended to perform preliminary tests and gradually adjust the temperature, adapting it to the fabric and specific conditions

TEST FIRST ON A SCRAP FABRIC

The use of an iron involves risks related to high heat (possibility of personal burns or material damage). Maximum attention must be paid during all stages of work, and appropriate safety measures must be adopted
