Just got this Monoprice I3 for $100 on eBay, my 5th printer and a several gens upgrade from my 1st, Monoprice Mini. These are amazingly rugged small 3D printers but not quite portable.
For portability, I also bought 2 Micro 3D printers $60 apiece on eBay which can be easily carried around, even run off 5v and stow filament under bed or can load externally. Will come in handy when I’m setting up tech at the observatory and need a special part or enclosure.
@porsupah That would be neat. I've printed a few tinier things like a fox mask (for one of my old action figures) and
@Rabit Oh, cool beans! I’d enjoy seeing more of what you’re up to with it! Quite keen on getting some kind of 3D printer when money’s coming in again, especially with cosplay & fursuiting in mind.
@Rabit Wow, that's a steal! Definitely something I want to look into in the coming months, primarily with a view to crafting my (fursuit) head base, where foam wouldn't be a good option due to the size involved.
