Remember the 3Doodler? A pen that let you draw in the air with plastic -- basically a hand-held 3D printer. Well the fine folks at WobbleWorks
are back with an all new 3D Doodler that's improved in just about every
way possible. Most notably, this thing is tiny. It's just a quarter of
the size of the first-gen device. It's not much bigger than a large
permanent marker at this point. And it's not much heavier either. At 50g
(1.77 ounces) it's just half the weight of the original too.But the
improvements don't stop there. This pen is also quieter and uses less
power. The latter part is especially important since the company is also
debuting the JetPack (along with other
accessories),
a portable battery that lets you doodle with PLA or ABS plastic for
between two and three hours while you're on the go. The new,
aluminum-clad pen adds a double click for continuous flow (so you don't
have to just hold the button down the whole time) and has two speed
options depending on what you're drawing.
As a thank you to its supporters, and a nod to its
roots,
the 3Doodler 2.0 will make its debut on Kickstarter. But, it will be a
very short 20 day campaign with quick shipping estimates. The first 100
devices will go for just $50 and will be shipped within a month.
Everyone else will get theirs in April. But, even if you miss the first
hundred units, you can snag one for just $85 so long as you order on the
first day of the campaign. After that, the price will go up to $99.
