The number of applications available for 3D printers continues to expand, from both a business and hobbyist perspective. One subcategory of the 3D printing craze, which has begun to get traction, has been 3D printer pens. 
The new Cloudio2go 3D printer pen, is a build very similar to that of the 3Doodler, but according to the company it is lighter, making it much easier for children to handle. It also brings several new technologies to the table, such as a better heating process, intelligent standby, and a better way of dealing with friction.
The company is offering several rewards for those who back their Inidegogo campaign. Backers who contribute $10 will receive a package of 30 ABS or PLA plastic sticks, which are used in the pen as an ‘ink’. Those who contribute $89 with receive the Cloudio2go 3D printer pen along with a pack of 30 plastic sticks. Additional, more expensive options are available to backers who wish to pick up more than just one pen.
