Tech Tools: Freaks3D means you can take your 3D printing with you

Lightweight printer is about size of a laptop and compatible with power banks

Freaks3D: costs $299

It’s unlikely you will ever have a 3D printer emergency, but there are some situations where having a portable 3D printer may be handy. So with this in mind, meet the Freaks3D, a lightweight 3D printer that comes with its own carry handle. It’s about the size of your laptop and weighs 3kg, so while you won’t be carrying it around for extended periods of time, it can easily be transported when you need to.

The Freaks3D will print from an SD card in addition to over USB from your laptop, so you have more options. The printer is also compatible with power banks, so if you have to be somewhere without access to power or if the power fails, you can hook it up and keep going.

The Freaks3D size means you won’t be printing anything huge, but that’s a bit like complaining you can’t print an A3 poster from a portable photo printer. www.elecfreaks.com
