3Doodler from WobbleWorks
3Doodler works like a simple painting pencil. As an "ink" 3Doodler uses a plastic, as it is also used in ordinary 3D printers. The quick-cooling and fast-setting material is intended to allow for the practice of "painting" complex three-dimensional structures. Either you move the tip of the 3D editor at an appropriate pace directly through the room, or realize your ideas step by step on a foundation and then stick them together. Thus, some models of the Paris Eiffel Tower can be "printed" with some skill, as presented on the corresponding kickstarter page.
So far, Wobbleworks has only developed a prototype. This can be presented by the toy manufacturer in a video, which we have attached to you at the bottom of the article. The 3Doodler is not suitable for toddlers. The manufacturer recommends a utility of twelve years and upwards. Not only 3D shapes or models could be created. Wobbleworks calls ideas such as jewelry, decoration and more. Even for simple repairs, the 3Doodler is a good choice.
3Doodler is a prototype. The finished design is not to be distinguished from it. The developers are currently working on a solution for uncomplicated energy supply. The weight should nevertheless be less than 200 grams with dimensions of about 180 millimeters in length and 24 millimeters in diameter.
