The functions of 3D printers can be varying, as well as
their forms and devices. Most of 3D printers are made in big sizes so they
could create large objects, while there are also some 3D printers that more
emphasize on portability, such as this one device.
Freaks3D is claimed as one of the most portable 3D printers
today. Its dimension is only 29 x 32 x 32.5 cm, and weighs about 2.95 kg. It also
has unique form, where the printing chamber is open and is not coated by glass
or acrylic.
Although it has open design, Freaks3D has a frame that's
made of aluminum, as well as the extruder components that are claimed to be
quite sturdy. It is important so that the printing process can take place
smoothly and the results will be neat.
One thing that's quite interesting is the Freaks3D is
claimed can be directly used to print shortly after being turned on. It doesn't
have to undergo a pre-heating process just like most of 3D printers in general.
So this printer is quite safe because there is no high temperature component
that's potentially touched by the users.
Besides being portable and has various handle forms, the
Freaks3D can also be operated with battery power. If you still need additional
power, you can connect it to the power bank. Furthermore, it's also not noisy
when running the printing process, so that you can use it in the library while
reading a book.
Freaks3D wears standard filament diameter of 1.75 mm, with
the support of two types of printer materials, the PLA and TPU. The largest
object's volume that can be printed is 13 x 15 x 10 cm, with a resolution of
100 microns. It operates via a USB connection, or you can also plug in an SD
card, and then make adjustments via the LCD screen and rotating knob.
Currently the Freaks3D is ready to enter the mass production
stage. On its campaign page in Indiegogo, the Freaks3D is offered at $ 399.
