Case-rap 5.0

This is a portable 3d printer. Carry it, with one hand, anywhere you want.

You don't have to fit it in a suite case, actually it is one.

The folding and unfolding procedure is eye blinking fast.

Here are my specific targets:

Easy to build from scratch, no needs of specific hard to find aluminum extrusions
Affordable, under 300$
As simple as possible, as less parts as possible.

Up to now there are more than 40 case-raps around the world.

2 years ago I've tried a kickstarter campaign. My aim was to get money to be able to invest more time and energy in this project. But did not reach my target, so I got 0$... You'll see the "outdated" kickstarter video in the links.

Than I've put it on pinshape... I sold my design 26$, I sold some at the beginning, but now, nobody is buying it anymore. So I decided to open-source it back.

As I worked so hard to get this printer where it is right now, I would appreciate tips, but it's not mandatory.

You can download it, print it, build it, use it. You can modify it, you can publish your modifications, tell your source please. You can't sell it. Non commercial please.
