FoldaRap, the Folding Reprap
thingiverse
Since 2012, I've been traveling with a portable RepRap, starting with a Mendel-sized foldable version, followed by a more Huxley-transportable one. Currently, I'm working on an aluminum extrusion-based model. The FoldaRap is the world's first folding 3D printer. Visit the RepRap Wiki for more information and pictures. My adventures with the FoldaRap led to OpenEdge, which evolved into custom Alto printers for industry and education. During summer 2017, I worked in FabLabs and updated the FoldaRap, while also exploring alternative business models through a LiberaPay account. Version 4.0 was released in winter 2017, followed by versions 3.5 and 3.0, which introduced easier folding/unfolding mechanisms and redesigns. To build your own Foldable RepRap, visit the wiki for assembly instructions, order parts from local suppliers if possible, download the latest .stl files from Github, print them with a well-calibrated 3D printer, and enjoy your sturdy, foldable reprap for easy transportation.
