3Doodler Pen
Posted by Sprue-ce Goose on Friday, July 3, 2015 11:43 PM

Today I noticed a product in a local hobby store called a 3Doodler.

http://the3doodler.com/store/

It uses either ABS, PLA or "Flexy"

I presume someone took the heating tip off a 3D Printer and created the 3Doodler.

Kinda expensive at $99 and, even with a 40 pct discount coupon, I'm not certain if it useful as a serious tool for model builders.

Perhaps someone could scrounge parts from a couple of old inkjet printers to make a budget 3D printer but would seem to be more in the realm of an experienced electronics hobbyist.

Hmm

Depends a lot on your manual dexterity.  Most people cannot move their hands with the precision and accuracy of even a cheap 3D printer.  Maintaining layer thickness would, I imagine, be a tough job.  But, you wouldn't need to use 3D CAD.
