You probably violated cruise ship rules... things with a heating element aren't allowed in your room (with a few exceptions for things like a hair drier) I'd be very surprised if the engineering dept didn't already have one on board... probably one that can do metal too. As another poster mentioned, you missed the boat not doing the benchy!

That z axis was reaaaaally compensating for those initial layers. Your initial bed level might be really bad, relying on auto bed level alone is not recommended.

nice colour scheme. does it require to level the bed or is it enough to rely on the automatic calibration?

what cad software you used to make fully cad 3d model of positron? because it tried to open that in solidworks 2024 version but it's just loading and loading and i opened the same file on autodesk online 3d model viewer and it opened just fine?

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PRINT ON AN AIRPLANE WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION FROM THE FLIGHT STAFF AND CREW. After filming this video, I realized that trying to print on a plane could be rather upsetting to passengers and flight staff for various reasons. In addition, 3D printers have the potential to create dangerous and frightening objects. Let's work together to make sure that Positron 3D printers don't get banned by TSA or other aviation security agencies. Thanks.

This is the definition of the printer being the hobby and not the printing.

"<" Is less than though?

I’m trying to decide between this and the journeymaker variant, any input?

Yeah the object choice. A Plane on a plane, a boat on a boat, a house in a house would be the perfect choice :D Congrats though :) really nice project and nice printer!! <3

make an adapter that allows you to plug into several of the ac outlets on the plane at the same time

Great to see positron in action👍.Courages people to step out of the box & making possibilities squeezing into a box👏👏. Like to try this Biqu micro too being so tiny but didn’t see your klipper cfg setup. Thanks for making this video❤

Is this sped up

perfect camera angle, love it

RMRRF 2024 teased some new developments .....keen to see/hear about them in coming weeks

I hope this will become a commercial like the Prusa in the future

This bed orientation is probably the best for ensuring you have beautiful first layers

I'm currently working on overhauling a broken Tina 2 S as a travel printer (currently stripped down to bare kinetics and motors and working on the hot end design) but I'd like to build a Positron one day.

Please call it "Wasp" (this is obviously how they make their hives)

i will build this so hard.

Why is your printer printing upside down bro

$500 is still high for such a barebones look

This is so cool!!

Very cool. However, you are not the first to print from an Air B-N-B. I have been traveling with my 3D printer for a while now and print anywhere and everywhere. I was printing parts for my 3D Sets RC car in an Air B-N-B in Alaska. I flew with the printer and had no issues. I am also in an Air B-N-B at a Winery right now building another travel printer.

I'm not really into DIY builds myself, but this is an incredible project and I would love to build one in kit form someday!

Awesome! This really makes me want to finish my build. I originally started building it because I was traveling a lot between states, but now that my inlaws got a printer I don't really need to have a portable one. But I really need to finish it just to say that I did and to actually put those components to use.

Awesome type of printer. Thanks to Kralyn for the PoC.

I live in Van and want one so badly. Gotta run with the ldo kit when it comes out. I just hope I have enough solar and electricity to run longer prints.. if not I can always bring it inside somewhere to get it done.. thanks for sharing this and keeping the design alive.

You did not print a benchy on the boat? Opportunity missed.

I'm certain this is going viral 😂😂

A perfect showcase of why we need the positron. I remember someone arguing you can take a 3D printer in your car. Not only is it a hassle but I travel by bus and train myself. A positron would be the perfect solution to prototype parts on the move.

I love this little printer, but please don't (try to) print around other people in enclosed spaces like planes. I know PLA is supposed to be safe, but I can't print without having my nose clog up and make breathing harder.

This thing is really asking for a build in battery supply. At least for an hour of work time (there are a lot of useful little things that can be printed in minutes). Maybe at least with unheated bed and some kind of cold adhesive for pla. Also maybe develop some kind of energy saving mode if off grid. Portable 3d printer is definitely a cool concept, don't get me wrong. But it has not a lot of sense if it also requires a fridge class amount of energy to operate 😅 I wish for someone to find a way to make this beast as energy efficient as possible and finally gave it some batteries and independency

I'm also looking into getting the Positron some day. It's perfect for something like a campervan or trip to hackertron or somthing. 😊

Have a look into LDM bed scanning sensors! Beacon or Cartographer3D LDM. It is fast and uses eddy currents!

How much does it cost to make one of these?

What's the rough BOM for this machine?

I really love that the positron is not dead and u guys are continuing it. Would really love to build/buy it when its done completely Please keep us updated

Super cool, but could you please make a video assembly guide?

I have one still laying around as I didnt realize how sensitive it is - was concerned about how low the probe needed to be for it to fully retract - nice to see it's a feature, not a bug 😊

as for the original one: I just hope so much that this will come as a full (and fully tested) kit.

i would buy a full kit (tested one) immediatelly. Hopefully some company will go for it.

All ripping off the BL Touch

A very interesting concept and a neat design and I'm sure many hobbyists will be building these for a technical novelty if not for anything else. But I think a real world use case for a small, portable 3D-printer is much less common than many think. Yes,some people will actually have a need this will fill (like someone living in a very small apartment/RV/trailer or something like that) but for most I think a "stationary" printer will still be enough. Years ago I thought I want an easily portable printer to take to friend's houses etc. so I got a Turnigy Mini Fabricator. Yes, a lot lesser printer than this one with only 100x100x100mm build volume but it was the most portable machine easily available at that time and would have been fairly easy to transport. For the few months I had it it never left my apartment and I did maybe a dozen parts on it. Never found a real occasion when taking a printer with me would have been a good idea, why bore your friends by having them watch a 3D-printer working for an hour or two when everyone has already seen one? Much easier to print the parts at home doing something else while the printer did it's thing. And for printing at home my larger printers were so much more convenient and had better performance. So I ended up selling it after less than half a year. Still, as said, an extremely interesting design and I'm sure many 3D-printer enthusiasts will want to build one just for the fun of it, even though it's kind of expensive for the specs and probably more fussy to use than a regular printer.

When will be available?

Best item for 3d print instructors 🎉

Which one is it? Greater than or less than?

you do know he just release v4 right?

Dude those pulleys are whack. I mean, their outta whack. I mean, they aren't concentric

That could be cool flipped and bolted under the desktop

nice i was wondering about this printer project for a while because it was cool as heck in it's idea only it kind of stoped, now i see it had a clone that continue it's legacy i kike how different peoples designs can get while doing the same thing keep up the good work or contact the oryginal creator and try to comercialise this design because either kit building or retail product would be a huge thing it would be nice if it could make some money fpor the designer of this system too
