Micro 3D printer, ο εκτυπωτής των $200 και το νέο θαύμα του Kickstarter Οι 3D εκτυπωτές είναι πολλοί αλλά τα μοντέλα με χαμηλό κόστος ανύπαρκτα. Ο Micro 3D printer της εταιρείας M3D σκοπεύει να λύσει αυτό ακριβώς το πρόβλημα. Micro 3D printer και Windows 8.1 για 3D εκτυπωση με το πατημα ενος κουμπιου Η ιδέα είναι απλή όπως και η υλοποίηση του Micro 3D printer. Χωρίς πολύπλοκα ούτε εντυπωσιακά μέρη, ο νέος τρισδιάστατος εκτυπωτής σκοπεύει να μπει σε κάθε σπίτι με τιμή κοντά στα $200. UPDATE: Η καμπάνια στο Kickstarter έχει συγκεντρώσει ήδη 2 εκατομμύρια δολάρια και συνεχίζει. Ο Micro 3D εκτυπωτής είναι μικρός, ευέλικτος και μπορεί να δεχθεί υλικό που πουλάει η ίδια η M3D ή από τρίτους κατασκευαστές. Παραμένει άγνωστο πόσο καλής ποιότητας θα είναι ο Micro όταν βγει στην αγορά ή αν θα παρουσιάζει βλάβες μετά από συγκεκριμένο αριθμό τρισδιάστατων εκτυπώσεων. Ας ελπίσουμε ότι ο Micro δεν θα έχει την ίδια τύχη με το OUYA gaming console και θα καταφέρει να παραμείνει πιστό στην αποστολή του. Micro 3D printer τεχνικα χαρακτηριστικα
