3Doodler Start Super Mega Pen Set
Great Gift Idea!
Ok, I admit I am a sucker for
tech gadgets. This is a take off of the
3D printer which I have raved about in past reviews. This allows you to draw, mold and experiment
in a non-toxic plastic. It certainly
doesn't have the precision of a 3D printer but at $99.00 it doesn't have the
price tag either. This set comes with a
full complement of different color Eco-Plastic rods that are made entirely
from food grade materials, so it’s completely biodegradable, non-toxic and
BPA-free. This is going to be a
major hit with kids and grandkids.
From the creators:
How did you come up
with the idea for this product?
Our 3D printer had
almost completed a 14-hour print when it missed a line, leaving an unplanned
gap in the print. A small error had ruined hours of work, and we were going to
have to start again. Then inspiration hit: “what if we just took the head of
the printer off and filled in the gap?” A day later the 3Doodler was born. The
first 3Doodler was a clumsy-looking, hand-assembled, device, with the words
“3Doodler” etched onto its side in green and red in felt tip pen. The 3Doodler
Start was a natural progression for us, creating a kid-safe and friendly device
specifically for young creators!
What makes your product special?
The 3Doodler Start was
specifically designed for young creators who love to express themselves through
the things they make. The 3Doodler Start is also the first 3D printing pen on
the market to be truly kid-safe and friendly. There are no hot parts, and the
plastics used are non-toxic and biodegradable! Designed to be as simple to use as
possible, kids can can pick up the 3Doodler Start and get creating within
minutes. The 3Doodler Start works wirelessly for up to an hour, and can also be
used with a range of 3Doodler accessories, including our themed DoodleBlocksTM
- simple templates for super Doodles!
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
The best part has been
building a vibrant and creative community! Starting with our first Kickstarter
campaign, we have always put community front and center. Hundreds of thousands
of units later, it's thrilling to see what our community has been doing with
the 3Doodler, and how they have shared with and inspired each other (and us!).
Their creations are all over social media sites and on our website, and extend
from craft and design, through to innovative hacks and fixes, and into a never
ending array of educational uses. With 3Doodler Start, that creativity and
community will now embrace a whole new generation!

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
