You'd need a pretty substantial battery on account of how much heat it takes to melt filament. Even the Bambu A1 Mini uses ~150W while heating the hot end. I like the idea of a portable printer, though. | ||

It's actually not the hotend heating that's the largest power drain, it's heating the large heat bed. Bambu Lab is introducing firmware features to more slowly ramp up the heat, but I don't need if that could happen slowly enough to not drain a battery. | ||
