I’m thinking about buying a small 3D printer for the odd project once in a while.

Problem is, I will not use it very often and I don’t have much desk space for it to sit around.

Ideally (and I know this is utopia), I would like a device that I can pull out of a closet, fasten four screws, plug it in and be ready to go.

Is there something even remotely like that available? Every review I’ve seen just seems to assume that printers are basically static.

    If you’re going to move it, whatever you get, makes sure it has auto bed leveling. Fucking around with that kills the spontaneity every time. I move around an Ender3 V2 with the BLTouch leveler all the time, carrying it with me back and forth from the farm to the city. I plunk it down and it sorts itself out easily.

    Stick to a cartesian style though, I have a delta I built and even with bed leveling, it gets out of calibration if I move it.
