A 3D printer is usually large in size so that a modeling project can be completed accurately. As a rule, the device measures about 421 x 383 x 465 mm for the production of full-sized parts. Now User My N MI built the smallest 3D printer in the world, capable of producing detailed parts as small as 18 x 31 x 41mm. For comparison, the printer is about the height of an ordinary match.

Weighing just 17g, the My N MI printer can produce a tiny translucent green robot model in minutes. Although it is not specified which components are used in production, materials such as wood and plastic are used in the production of a 3D printer.. A tiny motor moves the build plate while the resin material is printed inside a small reservoir. The printer is powered and receives the necessary project data through the micro USB port located on the back of the device.

In the video above, we can see the construction of a small robot, as well as the moment when the user My N MI fills the tank with drops of resin directly from the syringe. It is interesting to see how a small printer, even with a lack of space, manages to make precise movements.

The smallest 3D printer in the world

According to My N MI in the video description, the printer has a maximum build volume of 11 x 11 x 17mm with an accuracy of 0.135mm. For comparison, the Creality Ender-5 S1 printer with dimensions of 425 x 460 x 570 mm has print dimensions of 220 x 220 x 280 mm. Thus, we can see that the print tank was able to be used taking into account the size of the device.

At the end of the print, the robot expands in more detail, holding it in front of the camera with tweezers. You can see details of the robot, such as small grooves on the face and chest.. In general, for a device the size of a match, the result is impressive.
