This stupid fucking pen

LIX WORLD'S SMALLEST 3D PRINTING PEN
"3D printing" was already a bad name for additive manufacturing, and now it's being appropriated by these motherfuckers. Or is it supposed to be "printing" as in not writing cursive? I only see the idiot in the video using it for dumb art stuff.

So yeah, fuck this thing.

r u mad

This is the video I meant to post:
THE SMALLEST 3D PRINTING PEN IN THE WORLD-LIX
Listen to that dummy prattle on like an idiot. He doesn't even explain how 3D ink works in the video.

[rtil]

it's a vanity project that the average person will think is really cool, so i have a feeling it will get funded. i don't see any real practical application for it though

[Gilthwixt]

It's a novelty item. I don't really find it offensive.

"little things can do bigger ideas"

clearly an advert for the lesser endowed males

[Flash]

maybe if you could fold and unfold "3d drawings" into 2d drawings this would actually be useful for engineering purposes and blueprints?

i can draw my ideal home and then live in it, looks good

You have a feeling huh?

"little things can do bigger ideas"

"This exceptional pen is a small and smart pen."

Too bad it can't teach you how to not sound illiterate.

i wonder how long the stuff that comes out of that pen can last without breaking

[Bamyasi]

"Essentially, Lix 3D printing pen has the similar function as of 3D printers: it melts and cools colored plastic, letting you create rigid and free-standing structures, which can be formed in any imaginable shapes."

i wonder how long the stuff that comes out of that pen can last without breaking

With that syntax, I'd say about 0.7 seconds.

[rtil]

yeah well i can't say i'm surprised. i've seen much dumber projects get funded. i still can't get over the absurdity of this one.

[Bamyasi]

At least that guy can orate without sounding like a total dingbat. Give him a break, rtil. He's just following his dream.

I knew the fucking hipsters would throw money at this shit

TUMBLR IS FOR HIPSTERS YOU HYPOCRITE WTF

[naturally]

i literally have zero understanding of the post above mine

it's a vanity project that the average person will think is really cool, so i have a feeling it will get funded. i don't see any real practical application for it though

also this

all this 3d printing stuff seems like a gigantic waste of space because it's 'cool'

[CoolDrMoney]

It's a gimmick and if they don't get their shit in check someones going to make something like this that's much more practical.

[rtil]

the 3d printers that can manufacture working parts and stuff are cool. these pens are just silly

[naturally]

i should probably specify that i know 3d printers have some awesome engineering potential but i doubt most people will use these kind of things for stuff like that.

this is another one of those things that has no real practical application. i don't think any 3d modeller would really want to use this.
