元器件交易网讯  4月8日消息，据外媒报道，在众筹活动页面，一款Micro 3D打印机，被称为“第一个真正消费3D打印机”，打破了以往11分钟融资5万美元的的目标。

　　在外媒记者报道这一消息时，它已经获得2184支持者，融资达到586,937美元。

　　Micro 3D打印机外部呈盒状，其使用的软件设计“正如游戏一样是交互式的，很有趣，界面使用极简风格，简单易用”。初学者用它甚至可以打印出茶杯和iPhone外壳。

　　另外还有专业设置供有3D打印经验的用户使用。它兼容PLA（聚乳酸）和ABS树脂材料，同时还配有灯丝卷，以防剩余的塑料撒到别处。

　　这款Micro 3D打印机，可让不常使用的用户用起来更方便，比如周末修补匠，甚至是供学生在课堂上使用。

　　这款打印机预计将在今年年底或者2015年初上市。

　　One of the main things stopping people from purchasing a 3D printer for their homes is price. The MakerBot Replicator Mini, for example, is available for preorder for around $1,300. 

　　But if you have dreams of printing 3D doodads and whatchamacallits in the comfort of your own home, that's where M3D's Micro 3D printer comes in.

　　It's being billed as "the first truly consumer 3D printer" on itsKickstarter campaign page. And,according to CNET, it blew past its funding goal of $50,000 in 11 minutes. (2,184 backers have pledged $586,937 at the time of this writing.)

　　Both the $199 and $250 options are gone, but the $299 option is still available, which nets you a printer and one spool of filament. 

　　The Micro can be used right out of the box, and the M3D software that it uses was designed "to be as interactive and enjoyable as a game, making sure it's fully touchscreen-capable with a minimalist and simple-to-use interface." So even 3D-printing newbies can have a go at making their own teacups and iPhone cases.

　　But expert users aren't left out in the cold: There are expert settings available for people who have some 3D-printing experience. And the Micro is compatible with PLA or ABS, as well as its own filament spools, in case you have leftover plastic laying around.

　　There's no shortage of 3D printer Kickstarter campaigns, and several have been funded. It's taking a little while for 3D printers to gain momentum and become mainstream. But less-expensive devices like the Micro make 3D printers more accessible for casual users, such as weekend tinkerers or even for students to use in the classroom. 

　　If it can keep the price of the printer down, it might finally be onto something. 

　　The Micro is expected to ship later this year and in early 2015.
