Is a Foo-par a combination of a faux pas and FUBAR? I think I'm going to steal that!
what else would you call Solidoodles flub? LOL
]]>So my question to you all is, have you seen a reliable, portable and simple design that I can hop off?
IMHO what I posted is a good starting point. , Proof of concept if you will for a portable printer.
yes there are many points on this and almost any 3d printer that can be improved. the wiring is sloppy there is no protection for the PCB one could argue that there are better boards than the RAMPS better extruder etc. But It is very portable and a good size print area.
This was a year ago and no price as its a 1 off. also ABS printed on a large open bed is prone to warping/spiting etc
Well if the next would be make a folding cover.

Take a look at this one full size print area fits in a brief case sized case that will fit in a commercial Air line overhead compartment.

]]>The portable looks amazing, but the cost is a bit on the high side for what I am after. I have already got a bunch of my tools in sortimo L-Boxxes (as you can probably see from my thingiverse page) so I plan on building it into one of them. This means I can afford a bit more room than the portabee. I'm thinking maybe a solid z axis, one that doesn't fold out and cause calibration/reliability issues. This means having a smaller z height but that's ok. Thanks for all the thoughts so far! Keep them coming!

]]>Nice looking printer. They have a ten week lead time. For the wait they give you extra PLA to compensate, and that is pretty cool.

There is a premium for portability.

]]>it may be called a kids toy but hey I got tons of such "toys" that I have been making and selling hobby details with for years b4 3D printing became affordable for home use
]]>seriously, I been thinking of the same thing like an old SD1 or something even smaller/newer mods. be cool for my next venture, becoming mayor of local 3Dhubs and using one at meetings/clinics for public etc bi-monthly. something that could print small quick PLA items with minimal fumes and visible from all sides for demos. maybe have a few of them humming along.
thats how we got Model railroading so popular. N scale modular layouts called NTRAK with clubs setting up layouts at malls and shows getting 1st hand public exposure and participation. once kids got involved, parents had to learn about what next years Christmas gifts would be.
3D printing is now at this point in growing, development. bring it into the public's domain so they can see, touch and feel what they are missing and their kids future.
small things and specialty tools/toys/hobbies. need this. because John Q Public wont take the time to search out where to get this new tech stuff. plus not many retail outlets sell it with any selection or demos like a new Car or big ticket items.
