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?

Driving around. The ability to put it away in a box or protective case would be really nice.

Thanks for the suggestion on makerspaces and libraries, that's definitely something that's been on my mind too.

I think the biggest hurdle would be packing it away, putting it back together and recalibrating - that seems like it would get old fast. Someone's already mentioned it but the ender 2 or prusa mini seem like best bet. That could be small enough you could take the gantry off and put into a foam case
