German startup launches 3D printing pen & $649 Iceman 3D printer on Indiegogo

May 28, 2014

Startup 3DMedifab UG has launched two projects on Indiegogo: 3D printing pen and a compact Iceman3D desktop 3D printer.

3D printing pen

The new Cloudio2go 3D printer pen is very similar to the 3Doodler, the very first 3D printing pen that raised over $2.3 million on Kickstarter in 2013. But the Cloudio2go 3D printer pen is designed to be lighter and easy to use, especially for kids. It is more colorful and has a better heating process, intelligent standby and works with all 1.7 mm diameter ABS and PLA filaments, according to the company.

The crowdfunding campaign for Cloudio2go 3D printer pen will run until June 4th, with a goal to raise $5,000 for getting discounted prices for the plastics. You will be able to get the pen and thirty 12 inch filament strips for a pledge of $89.

Specs:

Extrusion speed : adjustable
Extruder temperature : 160-250 degrees Celsius
Nozzle diameter: 0.4 - 0.7 mm
Weight : 0.4 kg
Pen size: 22cm x 17cm x 6.3cm
Package Weight : 0.45 kg
Parts included: Cloudio2go pen, filament, power supply, pen holder

Cloudio2go Iceman3D 3D printer

Yesterday the startup has launched another new product on Indiegogo: a new desktop 3D printer named Iceman3D, coming with WiFi control, new design and an aluminium case available in three different color.

The new Cloudio2go Iceman3D features high quality parts, new mechanical moving technique and low noise. The printer has a small build envelope 150x150x150mm but relatively fast print speed. You can print directly from SD Card, but you can also control it with your Smartphone or tablet.

Position accuracy : 0.01mm
Build envelope: 150 x 150 x 150mm
Layer thickness: 0.1 -0.3 mm
Printing speed: 120 mm per second
Nozzle: 0.3 – 0.4 mm
Printing temperature : 230 C (max 320C )
Filament: PLA, ABS, Laywood, Laybrick, Nylon, NinjaFlex, Bendlay, more
Printer size: 350 x 300 x 350
File format : STL, Gcode
Connection : USB, SDCard and WiFi
Color LCD touch panel
System : WIN, LIN, OS X
Warranty : 2 Years

The startup is raising $33,000 on Indiegogo in order to bring an easy to use, truly consumer 3D printer to market. The campaign offers backers the Iceman3D plus two spools ABS or PLA filament for $649 as an early bird package. The estimated delivery is in July 2014.

Update May 28, 2014:

Two readers tipped us that "Both of them are owned by a Chinese company Iceman3D". The company is located in Zhejiang, China. Its webstore sells two similar 3D printers with different size:

D150: build envelope 160×180×150mm, price: RMB3888 (US$620/EUR456)

D100: build envelope 100×100×100mm, price: RMB2888 (US$460/EUR340)

This 3D pen has been on sale in Germany for some time: http://www.pearl.de/a-PV8645-1122.shtml I'm not sure why you would need to crowdfund a mere distributor.

As a 3D Printer Manufacturer and Reseller of chinese Printers located in Germany, I can assure you that it would be impossible to develop and manufacture a 3D Printer like This for a Price below 600€ in Germany. Always watch out if you back Crowdfunding Campaign that show no picture or Video Material of the Development. In most cases its just a quick cash grab to order larger quantities from a supplier that has already finished the product. I mean they couldve at least changed the Branding on the Printer. Though i must say the printer looks really nice i may order one from china.
