Scale Model of a Mendel90 Printer

The original Mendel90 printer tips the scales at around 8kg, making it cumbersome to transport. Its large size only adds to its bulkiness, rendering it unwieldy to move around. If you do manage to relocate it, be warned that the calibration might get compromised, necessitating a recalibration session before printing can resume at the new location. In some instances, it's even unnecessary to print anything while explaining a specific aspect of the printer – yet, moving it can still result in lost calibration. This led me to ponder whether it's feasible to have a more compact Mendel90 model that would be easier to showcase to friends and transport when needed for educational purposes, particularly when illustrating 3D printing concepts to novices.
