Most 3D printers are quite large in size and intended to be used in offices or other professional environments, but the Kudo3D 'Bean' is a newly created unit that aims to end this preconception. The Kudo3D 'Bean' 3D printer is sized to be quite compact, weighs in at just 6.67 kilograms and is used with cost-effective supplies in order to make it suitable for users of all kinds.
The Kudo3D 'Bean' 3D printer is green in style and outfitted with a series of LEDs to help further extend the green theme. The reliability factor of the 3D printer is reported to be quite good to make it a piece of equipment that can be used in the home by those who might not otherwise feel the technology is quite accessible.
