I do not understand how 3D printers work, but there is no doubt that I am fascinated by them. I have some sense that a liquidy material gets extruded out and turns into a model rocket or a bouncy ball. I always thought that 3D printers would be bulky, room-occupying inaccessible devices, similar to a copy machine. But there seems to be a connection between excitement for a product and its eventual portability. Now, 3D printers are shrinking to a point where they can fit on a counter.
The Cube from Cubify 3D Systems is a brightly colored, Wi-Fi active, portable 3D printer that is ready for any small plastic toy you want to make. The Cube is a 10×10″ 3D printer that comes in five different colors. Like a regular printer, the Cube is Wi-Fi enabled, so you are able to send your prints to your printer without tripping. If you’re ambitious, you could start your own small-scale toy company with the Cube. There are 16 different cartridge colors for you to manufacture a tiny car or a usable cup.
With a nod to sustainability, the Cube is able to print with PLA, a type of plastic that is derived from compostable corn starch.
Either use it to entertain yourself, make toys for your children, or to start a petite toy company. The Cube will let you make wonderful things.
