Gemguk3D, based in San Jose, California, has created a new affordable resin 3D printer aptly named the minifab. They have launched a Kickstarter campaign this week to raise the $60,000 required to go into production.
The minifab resin 3D printer has been designed to print without the need for a PC and uses LCD masking technology. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about its construction, CNC resin tank, aluminum build plate, and more.
Key Features and Specifications
The minifab 3D printer offers a build volume of 150 x 90 x 150 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of projects, from small prototypes to intricate models. It boasts an impressive XY resolution of 0.078 mm and a Z resolution of 0.010 mm, ensuring high precision and detail in every print. The use of LCD masking technology allows for faster curing times and more efficient printing processes compared to traditional methods.
One of the standout features of the minifab is its ability to operate independently of a PC. This is particularly beneficial for users who may not have access to a computer or prefer a more streamlined workflow. The printer’s user-friendly interface and onboard controls make it easy to set up and start printing right out of the box.
Why Choose the minifab?
The minifab is not just another resin 3D printer; it is designed with affordability and accessibility in mind. Early bird pledges start from just $399, making it an attractive option for hobbyists, educators, and small businesses alike. The competitive pricing does not compromise on quality, as the minifab is equipped with a CNC resin tank and an aluminum build plate, both of which contribute to its durability and reliability.
Additionally, the minifab’s compact size makes it ideal for users with limited workspace. Despite its small footprint, it does not sacrifice performance, offering features typically found in more expensive models. The printer’s efficient design also means lower maintenance costs and less frequent need for part replacements.
For those new to 3D printing, the minifab provides an excellent entry point. Its straightforward setup process and intuitive controls reduce the learning curve, allowing users to focus on bringing their creative ideas to life. Experienced users will appreciate the printer’s advanced capabilities and the high level of detail it can achieve.
The Kickstarter campaign for the minifab has already garnered significant attention, with many backers expressing excitement about the printer’s potential. Delivery is expected to take place during April 2018, giving supporters a relatively short wait time to receive their units.
