Pretty crude, but cool nonetheless

Yeah, that's pretty darn neat. It looks kind of like using hot glue but with a lot more control and less hardening time. I'm not sure if it'll see widespread hobby use or not. Like Rorshach9 said, it is pretty crude, but it looks to have a lot of potential.

It's a super ork rivet making pen! No more hours of cutting little slivers off plastic rods. lol

Sorry was the first idea that cam to mind.

Actually, the ork riveting thing may be the best use for it I've heard. From what I've seen the stream of plastic isn't uniform enough to be good for the kinds of panel and detail work that I'd want to use it for.

However, if it comes out slow enough, it could be just the thing for orky scratchbuilders.

I stopped being interested as soon as I heard they are using Chinese labor for this, Human rights violations are not worth this thing, I would gladly buy this at twice the listed cost if it was made under proper working conditions not under de facto slave labor.

I hope all of the components of your computer and mobile devices were produced in North America or Europe then (friendly jab, it's way too hard to not have something that was produced under those same conditions).

I could see use for this in Nurgle based conversions and perhaps even Tyranids - maybe even Eldar Spirit Stones?
