Let’s face it, though building models for school projects can be fun, they can be very time consuming, not to mention difficult especially, if the structures have to be 3-Dimensional. But thanks to WobbleWorks LLC, you are able to create anything you want from thin air – All you will need is some creativity and the magical 3Doodler! The brainchild of Peter Dilworth and Max Bogue, the 3Doodler is the world’s first 3-D printing pen and works similar to a hot glue gun. The device which resembles a thick marker is first filled with readily available thermoplastic polymers – The same raw materials that are currently used 3d penin 3-D printers. It is then plugged into a electric socket which will heat up the pen’s metal tip to 270°C, the optimal temperature required to melt the plastic and turn it into the moldable ‘ink’. Once ready, the user can go all out and create whatever he or she desires until of course, the plastic ink is all spent. The inventors say that while it may sound a little tricky, most people will be able to create 2-D objects on paper almost instantly – especially, since the pen has two speeds with which to control the pace at which the plastic flows out. As for learning how to make the more-intricate 3-D objects? No more than 2-3 hours!  Not a natural born artist? No worries. The company has added stencil kits to their website – All the user has to do is print them, and then use the pen to trace and weld it into a standing 3-D object. There are three different versions of the 3Doodler; 3Doodler Start, 3Doodler Create, and 3Doodler Pro. The pen can also be used to 3d pen creationscreate glass art, personalize objects like laptops, pens, ipods etc., make jewelry and the list goes on and on – restricted only by the user’s imagination. And, if your 3D creation, or for that matter any household object made from similar plastic falls apart, the amazing 3Doodler can even be used to ‘glue’ it back together. Here’s the best news of all – The pens are not as expensive as 3-D printers are, and are sold for around $75 USD each – A price that also includes two bags of mixed color plastic! School projects are about to get sooo much more fun!
