With the Christmas season upon us, I stumbled on the ultimate tech gift. Portable 3D printers are nothing new and there are a number on the open market. However many of these printers are costly and challenging to use for the novice user.
The PocketMaker 3d printer is a great gift at a very affordable price. Small and light enough to fit in the palm of your hand, don’t be fooled by the size of this device. Available for a multitude of desktop / laptop Android, iOS, Windows, Mac devices the PocketMaker App provides users with an easy to use app for beginner users and open source software for advanced users.
The team at PocketMaker have added some pretty handy features including a removable print bed and replaceable nozzles, so you don’t have to worry about cleaning up or residue clogging the nozzle.
The PocketMaker 3d printer utilizes standard 1.75mm PLA, ABS or other standard filaments. For a small printer, it is capable of printing at 0.2mm accuracy via Wireless or wired (USB) connections.
The PocketMaker 3d printer launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, and if you back the project now while it’s still in the early stages, you can lock down this small portable printer for under $100, the creators expect to start shipping as early as May 2017.

I would not advise anyone to invest in this, I have been invested since November 2016 and promised a refund in May 2017, Still awaiting refund now. The owners never respond to any emails or indiegogo messages, and as per indiegogo rules they will not assist in any penalty for the creators or refunds for the investors.
