So a "pen" that writes in 3D is on Kickstarter right now, and everyone is freaking out because it raised 1,850% of its funding goal in about 24 hours. You can see it here.
As someone with an extensive background in 3D printers, let me just say that the Reddit commenters put it perfectly:
"all the gross, weak, wispy aspects of 3D printing with none of the automation!"
"Spend hours making 'close enough' art that can be completely destroyed by the slightest breeze!"
"so, it's a $75 hot glue gun?"
The fact that "backers" are falling all over themselves to buy this is what really amazes me.
*In the time it took me to write that, they've raised another $10,000. Ridiculous. People are ridiculous.
