Hi, I am brand new to 3d printing and I think it's something I'd like to get more into. The only issue is I have extremely limited space, and I travel for work.

I am wondering if there are any 3d printers that would be practical for this type of lifestyle. I was eyeballing the prusa mini +.

Are there any 3d printers that pack/travel well?

So, you're suggesting to just put the whole thing in a box without disconnecting anything and it should be fine so long as I'm padding it appropriately right?

Thank you!

Just my 2 cents but yeah that’s basically it.

🤔

.. maybe drop Prusa Support a note with your question. Ask them what they would recommend. Just to get their opinion. Imho can’t hurt!

If you can safely move it without disassemble, I think the re-calibration would be minimal.

No worries, friend. I'll make sure I email them if I feel like I need to. I appreciate the help
