A few days ago, a Reddit topic from my Chrome reading list caught my eye:

“For my high school summer project, I designed and built the world’s most portable 3D printer“.

I clicked into the page, and literally my jaw dropped. A super tiny 3D printer at a size of around 2 cups of tall latte? With the function to use Octoprint to remotely control and monitor the printer with just a browser, this printer is able to print 3 hours with the built in battery. Of course, the print surface is tiny too so don’t expect a lot of practicality.

It indeed looks like something we may want to back on Kickstarter, but wait, this is not from a 3D printer manufacturer instead it is a summer project of a high school student? Then this is impressive. What have I done in my summer holidays off school? Going to the beach, playing basketball and TV games. It makes me feel ashamed to be honest.

The prototype of BingoFishy‘s printer.

You can even check the battery life with a button.

This printer is not perfect but this definitely inspires us on “Portatble 3D Printer”. Wish BingoFishy every success in his future!

YOLO!
