Hi, I am brand new to 3d printing and I think it's something I'd like to get more into. The only issue is I have extremely limited space, and I travel for work.

I am wondering if there are any 3d printers that would be practical for this type of lifestyle. I was eyeballing the prusa mini +.

Are there any 3d printers that pack/travel well?

Check out the Positron! It's the most portable one I've seen. The guy behind it, Kralyn, been providing the plans to the community so you can make it yourself.

Since he's released it to the public, it's possible that you might be able to find someone else selling them commercially rather than having to build it. The latest version is V3. It's so small it can fit into a filament box!
