Two years ago a team from WobbleWorks LLC had managed to create history by inventing the world’s first 3D printing pen,
3Doodler. 3Doodler went on to become one of the most successful
crowdfunded projects by garnering more than 70 times of its funding
goal. Two years hence the team is back on Kickstarter to unveil 3Doodler
2.0. The old version which was sold in millions was quite unwieldy,
slow and cumbersome to use. The new version looks more like a marker as
it is 75% smaller than its predecessor. The reduction of size has also
resulted in a lighter 3Doodler that now weighs 50 grams. The team has
added an anodized aluminium casing which gives a more premium feel to
the 3Doodler.
One of the problems with the previous version was that you had to keep your finger pressed on start button while creating 3D drawings. On the new version you have to double-press the start button for nonstop doodling. As you have read earlier the 3Doodler works in the following manner. First you plug it in and switch it on. Once the 3Doodler heats up to a certain temperature insert the plastic refill and start creating three-dimensional doodles. The new version allows you to make adjustments in nozzle flow and cools the molten plastic faster for quicker drawings. The slimmer pen also consumes less power. Along with the product, the team has launched several accessories for 3Doodler 2.0 such as Doodle Stand, portable power pack, adjustable nozzles and a foot pedal for controlling ink flow.
The project has again proved to be a roaring success as it has received funds more than 5 times its pledged goal within a single day. Early backers managed to grab one for as low $50 but the retail price is expected to be around a hundred dollars.
