3Doodler is in a hurry to you! (Bonus: Clone Review)

In February, the post “3Doodler pen you can draw three-dimensional objects right in the air” , which raised the hype in the Russian-language Internet.
But there was also “ Our answer ”, in which the “analogue” was assembled in 20 minutes “on the knee” (although the cost of the prototype was about $ 1000).

Recall that the 3Doodler project raised the stated amount of $ 1 million per hour after launch on Kickstarter.
They collected a total of $ 2.3 million.
And then came the moment when 30.000 customers will ship their order.

Daniel Cowen, the co-founder of the project, commented: “We have strained ourselves not to go beyond the schedule and start delivering products this month and we look forward to people starting creative with the 3Doodler knob.

Like most 3d printers on the market, 3Doodler uses both ABS and PLA plastic as a printing material. each of them has its own advantages.
3Doodler uses 25 centimeter rods of plastic, 50 such rods of different colors are included.

Russia

The guys from the “3D Printing Lab” in addition to the shelves with “replicators” have a lot of spare parts for every Mendel, and since the day before I soldered the hotend, I had an idea to connect an arduino to it, a power supply from a computer, and so on.

It took 3 people to make this thing work: the first one kept the print head and the yelling gave voice commands to the second one, which controlled the temperature and the flow of plastic on a nearby laptop. Someone else was actively blowing so that the plastic would quickly harden and bite off the extra lines with a nipper.




I had a few offers to launch a project in Russia, but I refused, mostly because of laziness and laxity due to the fact that I do not consider this a project that will change the world . And here is the “launch loop” .

They wrote to me in a personal note that the people, if they really really need it, use this

Somewhere in a week, a certain Alex Bochkovsky, using “stolen” photos, tried to launch a project on indiegogo (the link no longer works www.indiegogo.com/projects/it-sa-3dpen-second-in-the-world-but-does- not-mean-that-it-s-worse ).

P.S. I will be happy to indulge with 3Doodler for about 15 minutes.

We are waiting for reviews on Habré!
