3-D printing Pen --- very interesting

[slice&dice 2,450]

In another thread recently, we were talking about 3D printers that USCUTTER had been involved with for a while.

Today, I noticed a 3D pen being advertised. Not too expensive, provides a result like the printers (melted plastic comes out of the tip).
"Gone are the days, when you drew only in X and Y coordinates. Now, you can also use Z coordinate to extend your drawing canvas of creativity."

Anyone have experience with these tools? Just a toy or are there practical crafting creations? The only reason I even mention it here is because of the filaments -- a consumable item, that USCUTTER could handle (they already did at one point).

Anyway, thought I could throw this out there, for comments and consideration.

That pen actually looks like a decent one. I've seen all the 'toy' ones on Amazon - they even have pictures of children crafting with it.

Guy I work with has a 3d printer and a pen. The pen typically is just a toy, but he has used it to repair/touchup parts he printed with the 3d printer.
