Looking for Light weight 3d printer

[jamcultur]

I just saw on Amazon that the Monoprice Mini Delta weighs 4 pounds. I don't think you'll find anything lighter.

I looked at this and saw 3.5 rating so i skipped it. does it come disassembled? is this good for a beginner to use? Its mostly personal and for fun nothing professional. but willing to pay more for something advance.

OH also mini delta shows Item Weight 10.20 pounds is that full packing or the device itself. I can spread the load around to other luggage, but if the device really weights that much it will not work out taking a full luggage out just by itself.

According to Amazon, the shipping weight is 10.2 pounds and the machine weight is 4 pounds. That seems unbelievably light. It must not include the power adapter or anything else.

You can purchase the Mini Delta or another 3D printer in Europe. When you come home, you can sell it there and buy a new one when you get home. Or, it you want to keep it, you can carry it home, but at least you'll only need to carry it one way. Keep in mind that if you purchase a printer in the US, it will come with a 115 volt power adapter, while it will come with a 230 volt power adapter if you buy it in Europe, which is what you you will need there. Will you be traveling to different countries? Britain uses a different type of power plug than the rest of Europe.

Building a 3D printer is a big job and will require tools as well as parts.
