From kids and hobbyists to artists and designers, this pen is going to be a ton of fun. It’s easy to use, and for anyone who has worked with a glue gun, it’s a snap to pick up the technique.
At ShowStoppers at CES 2014 the company launched new accessories for the pen including: a pen storage holder, changeable nozzles, allowing users to extrude plastic in different shapes and sizes-as well as DoodleBlocks-various shapes of silicon molds that can be easily “filled in” with ABS or PLA plastic. Also, stencils are now available on the website.
