The "PocketMaker" 3D printer is cheap and good.
Author: Pro qingxi
Xiao Bian has always felt that 3D printing technology is in a new stage in China, and there is a trend of getting hotter. However, for ordinary people like us, we can only have an eye addiction. If you want to buy a 3D printer and go home for a hand, it is estimated that there are not many!
Looking at the 3D printers that cost tens of thousands of thousands of dollars, Xiaobian really does not have the self-confidence of this pickpocket. This price really forced the crying of the itchy technical house.
Moreover, the size is also very large, at least there is a small refrigerator, small, cheap, and the things that come out are not fine enough. Xiaobian saw the "PocketMaker" 3D printer. This can be said to be an entry-level little cute, described in a few words: small size, easy to use, and cheap.
With such a 3D printer full of technical models, can you think of it being made by four first-year university students? It is such a hang! Xiaobian to see the "PocketMaker" 3D printer design team!
design team
The “PocketMaker†3D printer design team is a first-year undergraduate student in 2016 from Lang Qiyue, Sun Ran, Hu Wei and Xu Shiwen from the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
The visual design of "PocketMaker" was mainly played by Xu Shiwen, and together with Lang Qiyue was responsible for the design, graphic design and promotional video production of this product. Sun Ran and Hu Wei are responsible for the hardware development of this product, and are responsible for the technical master.
Of course, it is not enough to rely on such a few dolls. The inspiration and the main theme are them, but there are also traces of engineers Hu Biao, Sun Ran and industrial designer Lang Qiyue and visual designer Xu Shiwen. There are also the help of various classmates and teachers on campus.
Design inspiration
1. Origin
Lang Qiyue, the founder of "PocketMaker" 3D printer, has been fascinated by this technology since he saw the magic of 3D printers in high school. After going to college, with some friends who have the same hobbies, I started the design and production of "PocketMaker".
2, shape
At present, although there are some small 3D printers on the market, in general, people's impression of 3D printers still stays on the concept of giant objects. In fact, Xiaobian thinks so.
Large machines are heavy and unsuitable for handling, while "small" items are easily accepted and have affinity. As a result, the "PocketMaker" team hopes to create a small 3D printer.
The "PocketMaker" 3D printer is very small in size, only the size of the palm, 10.8cm × 12.8cm × 14.2cm, which is estimated to be a little larger than the mobile phone. The weight is around 850g, which is very light. It’s a “PocketMaker†called “Handheld Printerâ€, which should be the smallest in China!
Although the "PocketMaker" is small in size, it can be printed to a size of 8cm x 8cm x 8cm, which is enough for life. This is also the original intention of "PocketMaker", so that everyone has a personal 3D printer of their own.
In addition, optimized at the nozzle, the pocketmaker's nozzle is only SD card size and can be replaced, and it is very convenient to change it as long as it slides into place.
3, use
The magic of 3D printers is that the virtual three-dimensional items in the computer become the various daily necessities, various models, small things designed by yourself, and so on. "The principle of the 3D printer is to put the data and raw materials into the 3D printer, and the machine will build the product layer by layer according to the program."
3D printing has penetrated into our lives, and the "PocketMaker" team believes that 3D printers will enter the ordinary family in the future, so simple and safe operation becomes a must.
The platform of "PocketMaker" can be disassembled and bent, which is convenient for the user, so that we can leave the putty knife. For the family, this is good news, because children and the elderly, safety and simplicity are factors that cannot be ignored.
In addition, the material of this mini 3D printer supports PLA and ABS with a standard diameter of 1.75mm.
It is worth mentioning that the "PocketMaker" app has a model library that you can choose from, just connect your phone and you can use it!
4, the price
The "PocketMaker" team said that they have to do a 3D printer that can be afforded with pocket money, and they must have done it.
At present, this "PocketMaker" 3D printer has been crowdfunded on Indiegogo, the early bird price is 49 US dollars (about RMB 330), the crowdfunding price is only 99 US dollars (about 680 yuan), is not very cheap, And it is expected to ship around March next year.
"PocketMaker" 3D printer is finished, look at the beautiful gadgets it prints, it's really exquisite, Xiaobian map, put the truth.
