That is transportable, NOT PORTABLE.

For a PORTABLE 3D printer see Ben Heck's Portable, Autonomous 3D Printer.

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

Also see FoldaRap.

If I 50% disassembled my machine, it would fit in a much smaller box than that.

Echoing robot-ish female narrating voice makes that printer portable

Ben Heck's printer is not PORTABLE as well according to your definitaion of portability.

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.

My definition of PORTABILITY is:

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!

well well well, I was wrong, yes Ben.s model is portable
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

>< we used one automatic narrator

apparently you don't like honest reviews....

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.

No Steve I do and I accept that it isn't as compact as it should be.
