we need a new term for this . this portable printer is as portable as 1983 COMPAQ. [en.wikipedia.org]


we need a new reprap term that indicates portable but ridiculous for the 21st century.

it seems far easier to partially disassemble a prusa, and place it inside of a suitcase.

(tu) awesome, congratulations :)]]> flyingbird General Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:41:49 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188344#msg-188344 Re: Portable 3D printer (Konark) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188344#msg-188344 Ours is 7.4 inch thick and this can brought to 6inch easily by replacing wood box by metallic.

My only intention of the post was to get some reviews, this was done as a course project of our curriculum and I have no intention whatsoever to compare our printer with anything else. This is the first prototype. We used coreXY.

About assembling, yes I feel it is not very good idea to assemble but to remind you again, we are not in competition with anyone, this project was our first 3D printer and we successfully achieved objectives of our course :)]]> flyingbird General Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:40:48 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188340#msg-188340 Re: Portable 3D printer (Konark) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188340#msg-188340
1. That it is small. Ben's model is only 5 inches thick.
2. That it does NOT need to be assembled! Ben's model must only be opened, the y-carriage slid into place and plugged in. Takes less than 30 seconds!]]> rhmorrison General Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:25:28 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188335#msg-188335 Re: Portable 3D printer (Konark) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188335#msg-188335 -------------------------------------------------------

He did not define portability. Nevertheless, you are wrong, Ben Heck's is portable - it requires opening, yours requires disassembling and reassembly - which makes it about as portable as a mendel.]]> yydoctt General Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:16:38 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188331#msg-188331 Re: Portable 3D printer (Konark) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188331#msg-188331 -------------------------------------------------------

Ben Heck's printer is not PORTABLE as well according to your definitaion of portability.]]> flyingbird General Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:11:58 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188321#msg-188321 Re: Portable 3D printer (Konark) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188321#msg-188321 MPower General Thu, 28 Feb 2013 08:35:10 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188140#msg-188140 Re: Portable 3D printer (Konark) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,188140#msg-188140 Dirty Steve General Wed, 27 Feb 2013 15:49:26 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,187970#msg-187970 Re: Portable 3D printer (Konark) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,187830,187970#msg-187970 -------------------------------------------------------

Indeed. Though you mean Ben Heck's is Portable!
