The rise of 3D printing in recent years hasn't gone unnoticed, with manufacturers producing 3D printers of varying sizes and complexity, but with most of the decent-quality devices too costly for hobbyists to own. If you've wanted to dip your toe into the field but without handing over a lot of cash for your own 3D printer, the latest giveaway on MacNN Deals is for you, with the prize of a
Makerbot Replicator Mini up for grabs.
Capable of producing an image up to 4.9 inches in height with a layer resolution of 200 microns, the Replicator Mini is capable of creating any small object you desire out of extruded PLA filament over a few hours. Printable items can be designed by the user themselves in 3D modeling software, as well as bought from the Makerbot Digital Store or acquired from other online repositories, with the 3D file able to be sent over Wi-Fi or USB. There is even an onboard camera that you can use to monitor the progress of your prints via the companion app.
