The goal was a measly $30,000 and there are still 29 days to go

The 3Doodler 3D Printing pen crashed through its funding goal just a few hours after it was launched, which is why we've been checking up on it since then.

Out suspicions were that this pen, which can write and build things out of plastic, will be one of Kickstarter's most successful projects yet.

Sure enough, the item continued to accumulate monetary pledges. Even now, people are still investing in the gadget.

The sum is ludicrous though. Going beyond $30,000 / 22,763 Euro in a few hours was amazing enough, but the amount grew so much that it even passed the $1.5 million mark (1.14 million Euro).

Add to that the fact that there are still 29 days to go and this might become the best-funded Kickstarter project in recent history, if not longer.
