As an on-demand 3D printing service, Shapeways is undoubtedly awesome. But the pitch I got today is about as dull as you can get: personalized styluses for touch-screen devices. Talk about a conflict!
All the offered styluses are pretty dorky, with end-decorations ranging from shields to barrels, they’re straight out of a Zelda game. And the “customization” consists of adding your initials, like a monogrammed bath-robe. Here we were thinking that the successor to the free tradeshow pen was the free tradeshow pen-drive. We were wrong.
Still, you can always check out the non-nerdy 3D designs on offer, or come up with your own. Such models include a 3D dungeon well and the double helix of DNA. Wait? What?
Steel or plastic from $9.50
