One small step for 3D printing, a huge leap for making it mainstream. I can see schools eating this right up. It’s obviously not the most advanced 3D printer, but whatever it takes to get 3D printing into the peoples eyes.

Help to make this in China?
Why not in US?

How much do the refillable ABS plastic tubes cost?

I just had to bookmark that webpage. Fantastic! I have seen one or two of these street drawings before, I think, but not 50! Wow. Thanks.

This looks like a lot of fun! It can’t be that expensive a product. I’m sure it will do well. I can think of things that I would do with it. I’m curious as to the durability of the plastic. What it’s strength characteristics are and how it degrades. Is the plastic toxic? Is it dishwasher safe. What temperature does it melt at. If you left it in a hot car would it become a pile of goo?

Do you live in Vancouver, Canada?
The city where the headquarter of D-Wave Systems (World’s First Quantum Computer Comany) locates?

It would be great if this can be combined with the “Z-Space” technology.

More plastic for the environment. I love the idea, but can’t endorse it since it’ll just add more plastic waste to our eco systems.

Calling it “fancy glue pen” would not raise a lot of funds on kickstarter, but call it a 3D pen and it becomes revolutionary device that will “change manufacturing.” These are the semantics of marketing strategy.

The effects look great.
I wonder how much more can this “3D Printing Pen” do when it’s computerized.
BTW, “3D graffiti” already exists

If you look fast, you might see a power cord attached to this new gadgetron. So a graffiti artist will need to lug along a power source or a long extension cord. But if somebody had the idea to do all that, he would already be vandalizing public walls with a glue gun.

Depends of what additives can do. 3D printers are precursors to Nano and then Atomic assemblers that could in theory draw waste from the atmosphere and convert it.

I think, just by looking around … and not only just at some public art and architecture, that “3D graffiti” appears to be alive and well … as both a present and a historical “artefactual” process.

Fancy glue gun? Yes. But I am failing to see how the images are not 3D…

Would you settle for 2.5D? :)

This is NOT 3D. It’s a fancy glue gun.

Can 3D graffiti be far behind?
