Abstract:
Techniques, systems, and devices are described for implementing a portable and affordable 3D printer. One portable 3D printer includes a material supply system to supply printing material to a print engine. The print engine includes an extrusion system that comprises a heating block, which includes a top portion coupled to the material supply system to receive the printing material, a heating body to heat up the printing material, and a heat break portion positioned between the top portion and the heating body. The printer further includes a movement system to allow a horizontal movement of the extruder carriage, a build platform positioned below the movement system to receive the printing material from the extrusion system, and a printer body positioned to enclose the extrusion system, the movement system, and the build platform.

Claim (Index 16):
A portable three-dimensional (3D) printer, comprising:\n a material supply system including a spool or a cartridge to supply printing material to a print engine; the print engine including an extrusion system positioned to receive the printing material from the material supply system; a movement system that comprises:\n one or more belts, \n multiple pulleys in contact with the one or more belts, each pulley positioned to rotate around a vertical axis, wherein at least two of the multiple pulleys are stacked on top of one another to allow a compact design of the movement system; and \n an extruder carriage in contact with the one or more belts, wherein the extruder carriage is positioned to carry the extrusion system and comprises an upper portion in contact with the one or more belts to allow a horizontal movement of the extruder carriage and a lower portion coupled to the extrusion system, the upper portion including a first wall generally parallel to the one or more belts, a second wall generally parallel to the first wall, a center portion located between the first wall and the second wall and spaced apart from the first wall and the second wall, and one or more coupling means that can adjustably pass through at least a section of the extruder carriage to make contact with a section of the one or more belts and to allow a tension adjustment of the one or more belts; a build platform positioned below the movement system to receive the printing material from the extrusion system; and a printer body positioned to enclose the extrusion system, the movement system, and the build platform, wherein the printer body includes a movable door to allow access to the build platform.
