Spotted at IFA: 3Doodler, World’s 1st 3D Printing Pen

This little booth spotted our attention when the guy manning it was drawing 3D objects with a large handheld pen. Turns out it was 3Doodler, a project that originally started from KickStarter.

The startup claims that 3Doodler is the world’s first 3D Printing Pen. It uses some type of plastic that it melts but quickly cools into a solid structure so you can create 3-dimensional objects on the fly. It’s like a glue gun, only way better.

It might seem like child’s pay at first but once you see the finished work, you’d be surprised at the kind of results it can produce. You can combine several colored plastics or stack them up as tall as you want.

Here’s a short intro video they created for their KickStarter page:

The 3Doodler is not yet in final commerical production but estimates February 2014 shipping (they have to finish fulfilling the orders from their 26,000 backers in KickStarter). There is a refundable contribution of $99 for each pen and comes with 50 strands of plastic. You can pre-order yours here.

Spotted at IFA: MyFC PowerTrekk Fuel Cell Charger

One of the smaller halls in Messe Berlin during IFA had a lot of start-up companies showing off their inventions and interesting gadgets. This PowerTrekk charger is based on Fuel Cell technology.

The se up is very simple, combine ordinary water with the myFC Puck and it converts water into electricity. The kit includes the charging module where you fill up with regular water and a cradle for the Puck.

Once the myFC Puck and water are in place, the module will produce electricity enough to fill up your smartphone and similar devices. Aside from being a charger, the module also saves up any remaining charge for later use.

You will have to replace the myFC Puck once the charge is deleted.

In their booth, PowerTrekk was selling it for a promo price of 149 euros (down from regular price of 200 euros). Each myFC Puck costs 6 euros a pop.

This kit isn’t for regular use which will make it very expensive but if you’re the type who goes on treks and travels in or around water, this could be a good solution.
