Humans are accustomed to drawing in the air. We gesture with our hands when talking and will try to illustrate charade secrets by "drawing" objects in space. 3D-printing pens takes those gestures, makes them tangible and, in the hands of an artists, beautiful. Recent 3D-printing pens have been cool, but clunky affairs. LIX Pen, however, is something different. It's light, small and apparently needs no more power than you can draw from your run-of-the-mill laptop. Now it's coming to Kickstarter.

Is this the consumer-friendly 3D printer we've been waiting for?

very interesting
Kickstarter already backed a 3D pen. I don't know how willing people will be to back this just because it's smaller.
What happened to the last one it backed?
Looks very interesting from an artistic standpoint, but I have a hard time seeing any practical application in comparison to a traditional 3D printer other than cost.
Unless you are going to use this for artistic purposes, I don't see what other use something like this has to go mass market. I wish they showed some practical application of what this pen can do.
I'm still waiting for someone to make a printer that can print glasses frames at a low cost so you won't have to spend hundreds of dollars to replace them every time it brakes or gets damaged.
