The highly anticipated and revolutionary 3Doodler -- which destroyed its [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidoodle-minibox-a1) campaign in record time -- has been upgraded and made slimmer, lighter, quieter and generally easier to use. While the original 3Doodler was an absolute hoot, a huge amount of practice and adaptation was required for users to create anything of worth. Moreover, other so-called '3D-printing pens' appeared on the market that were lighter and easier to use. The 3Doodler 2.0 comes with a variety of accessories including a place to store your pen and plastic refills, as well as [changeable nozzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palette-300) and a smoothing tool to help you smooth and refine your doodles. The 3Doodler 2.0 is the subject of a Kickstarter campaign. A pledge of $99 will get you one device once the product is ready to ship. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Slimmer and Lighter 3D Pens:** Opportunity for companies to disrupt the 3D printing market with more compact and portable 3D pens. - **Improved 3D Pen Accessories:** Opportunity for companies to disrupt the 3D printing market by creating new and innovative accessories for 3D pens. - **Enhanced Functionality 3D Pens:** Opportunity for companies to disrupt the 3D printing market by adding more functions to 3D pens, such as smoothing tools and changeable nozzles. ### Where This Applies - **Technology:** Companies in the technology industry can explore the potential of 3D pens to develop new and innovative products. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can take advantage of the new 3D pen technology to create unique and intricate 3D designs. - **Education:** Educational institutions can incorporate 3D pens into their curriculum to teach students about 3D printing and design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accessible 3D Wood Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digilab-3d20.md) - [Ergonomic 3D-Printed Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-pen.md) - [Upgraded Digital Writing Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-writing-device.md) - [Kid-Friendly 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidoodle-minibox-a1.md) - [Entry-Level 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kokoni-ec2.md) - [Space-Inspired Hovering Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitating-pen-30.md) - [Chocolate Filament 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocoa-press-3d-printer.md) - [Performance-Driven Pen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p3n-pen.md) - [Screenless 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ankermake-m5c.md)
