The idea behind the 3Doodler is that it takes the core functionality of a 3D printer, essentially an extruder and a heat source, and jams it into a pen-shaped handheld device. Loaded with either ABS or PLA plastic, common feedstock for traditional 3D printers, the 3Doodler "prints" plastic objects by letting you draw them in freehand in three-dimensional space. — reviews.cnet.com
With a funding goal of $30,000, the 3Doodler Kickstarter project has already raked in almost 1.2 million dollars from over 13,000 backers. And you're definitely not too late to get in on the funding party—the project has 31 more days to go.

another hot glue gun
amazing ,
I think this would probably make the most money marketed as a toy. Kids would love this. I mean, I would play with it too, but my kids would def. want this thing..
It looks like a Sketch up product.....lots of fun....but the end result...well lacking something unless you have thousand of hours to invest in it. Bring on the Laser Cutters!
oh and it looks a bit like an old telephone or dildo....
