# Portable 3D Printers The Freaks3D Allows You To Create On the Go By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-07-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks3d References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/freaks3d-portable-3d-printer/38605/) & [elecfreaks](http://www.elecfreaks.com/estore/) The Freaks3D is a [portable 3D printer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-h2d), developed by a company by the name of Elecfreaks, that is around the size of a typical laptop that allows you to create things on the go. Weighing in at around 6.5 pounds and standing 11.4 inches tall, this contraption is capable of running off a USB power bank, a bit of functionality that is ideal for those times when you don't have a traditional outlet available. The device also doesn't need to be preheated to get going. The Freaks3D printer can be controlled via a small [LCD screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-3d-printers). Users can utilize this screen to print via files stored on an [SD card](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapmaker-u1) or indeed through the USB port. Currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign, this machine is set to make it easier to create and print on the go. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable 3D Printers:** The Freaks3D allows for on-the-go creation with its portable and compact design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** The portable 3D printer trend creates opportunities for innovation in the consumer electronics industry. - **3D Printing:** Portable 3D printers like the Freaks3D disrupt the traditional 3D printing industry by offering convenience and mobility to users. - **Crowdfunding:** The Indiegogo campaign for the Freaks3D exemplifies how crowdfunding platforms provide opportunities for funding and exposure for innovative products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial-Grade 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lcd-3d-printer.md) - [Portable Selfie Printer Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selphy-qx20.md) - [Kid-Friendly 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidoodle-minibox-a1.md) - [Ultra-Compact Laser Engravers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/formovie-xming.md) - [Freestyle Desktop Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dual-printer-device.md) - [Ultra-Fast Precision 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ankermake.md) - [Full-Size 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/full-size-3d-printer.md) - [Accessible 3D Wood Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digilab-3d20.md) - [Desktop-Powered Portable Computers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-mac-mini.md)
