Back in May Deezmaker showcased its Bukito lightweight, portable 3-D printer at Bay Area MakerFaire. Bukito is a sturdy, fast and portable 3D printer that you can take everywhere, says Deezmaker president Diego Porqueras.
Bukito weighs under 6lbs / 2kg and uses the aluminum V-slot slider system from Openbuilds to reduce the complexity of the whole printer's frame. To demonstrate how light and sturdy the Bukito 3D printer is, Deezmaker & Velocity Pigeon teamed up to fly a Bukito while printing a 3D object. Watch the video below:
