And we don't mean the 3Doodler or even the much more graceful Lix

The Lix has recently come out and essentially supplanted 3Doodler as the darling of the 3D printing pen market, a position which belonged to the latter by virtue of being the only one of its kind up to that point.

Now, a third 3D printing pen has appeared, the so-called Cloudio2go, which is similar, in girth, to the 3Doodler, but is a bit more colorful and not quite as large or hard to hold.

It has an adjustable spinning speed, a plastic shell and the ability to use ABS or PLA mixed color filament strips.

In fact, if you drop by the Indiegogo crowd-funding campaign for the Cloudio2go 3D printing pen, you'll be able to get the pen and thirty twelve-inch filament strips for a pledge of $89 / €89.

In case you don't know how a 3D printing pen works, it basically lets you draw things in 3 dimensions. You can start with, let's say, a square on a piece of paper, and work your way up, or you can just start to grow support beams in anticipation of building a house or something.

Your imagination is literally the limit here. Well, that and your supply of filament at any rate.
