This feels like the right place to link to the Kralyn Positron project which is a compact, open source portable 3D printer.

I started buying parts to make one but haven't taken the time to get any of the machined parts manufactured yet.

This looks very cool, but I feel like its failure modes would be brutal. I've seen some failed prints turn into hairy balls of melted hate, but upside down...I feel like its begging to have a print adhesion failure just break everything.
