In just one month from today, you can own your own portable and affordable 3D printer at a fraction of the cost of the famous MakerBot printer.

Since its premiere, 3D printers have been make huge progress in a variety of industries, from printing tiny plastic models to prosthetic jaws for medical reconstructive surgeries. Culinary institutions have even tried to 3D print food like cake icing and ramen noodles. But the reason 3D printers have only been in experimentation is because most machines cost upward of $1000. MakiBox wants to change that by affording you the opportunity to own a portable 3D printer for as low as $350.

The MakiBox is currently hosted on Makible, a site similar to Kickstarter but aimed specifically toward craft makers who need funding for their projects.
