The Printrbot jr. is a great choice for people who are new to 3D printing. It's small, portable, and IT FOLDS! image

 

The jr. is slightly simpler than other printers because it ONLY uses PLA (no ABS) and does not come with a heated platform. PLA is non-toxic and biodegradable with a lower melting temperature – a safer choice for kids. It also uses one less motor than our other printers, greatly simplifying the process of moving the Z axis.

 

Features include:

 

  • 4″ x 4″ x 4″ build volume
  • PLA only (no ABS) – approximately 1/2 lb included with purchase
  • Astonishingly light at 6.3 lbs (when weighed apart from a power supply)
  • Compact – the bed folds up for easy carrying and packing
  • Fan mount kit with Fan included
  • Laptop power supply included
  • Future Upgrades:
  • A battery pack and LCD (sold separately) will allow truly wireless printing.

 

We are giving away a Printrbot jr to one lucky winner for FREE-- that's a value of USD $499.00.  In return, we simply ask that you write a detailed review of your experience with the Printrbot. Think about what would be helpful to you if you were reading another member's review, and let your friends on element14 know what you think about the Printrbot.

 

And did we mention you can print your own Yoda?

  • These are amazing. He'd flip out if we made something like this. The first one is just amazing, you can tell all of it was made via the printer. Just outstanding. Just adds more to the hope of us getting lucky and getting this printer.

     

    Thanks for the links!!

    Here's what happens if you give a small boy a 3D printer.

    Simply amazing to see. This is exactly what one could hope for with their child. Seeing my son learn and grasp new concepts makes me smile ear to ear. Having such a powerful "tool" like this PrintrBot Jr would just open the door for him and allow him to expand his creativity.

     

    Thanks for the post!
