### What is TinyBoy? | ||
**TinyBoy - Open Design 3D Printer for Student | ||
A small , easy to build , affordable machine** | ||
|
||
TinyBoy is an open design 3D printer. The size is just 15 x 15 x 22cm , even smaller than most of the 2D paper printer. Therefore , it fit for regular computer desk. The design aims as an entry-level machine for student and newbie to learn 3D modeling technology and train for creative thinking. | ||

||
### Less is more | ||
|
||
The maximum size of printed object is 8.5 x 8.5 x 8.5cm , which is relatively small than many other 3D printer. However, it is already large enough for making things like figure and toy. | ||
|
||
The gain from the trade off is the cost down of material and maintenance. Take out components for making large printed object , the design become simple and lean. The core material is acrylic sheet and connected by metal screw. Therefore , the cost of material and building can be minimized. The expect bill of material is just around HKD $2,300/ USD $300. | ||
|
||
### Easy to build / Learning by making | ||
|
||
The process of making has the opportunity to transform education by inviting students to be something other than consumers of education. They can be maker of anything , moving from being directed to self-directed through the process. | ||
|
||
Tinyboy is designed for easy to build. The assemble from kit can be done by just using a screw driver. We wish student can make their own machine. Then they become a pioneer whose may make another one for other people. So that the use of 3D printer can be spread out to more student. | ||
|
||
The case of Tinyboy uses acrylic plane as the main material. Individual parts can be made by using cutter laser. Therefore, the manufacturing process is easy once you have a laser cutter. In fact , the price of an A5 laser cutter can be as cheap as USD $400. That make the cost of small amount production be reasonably low. | ||
