Tried one, thought it might complement my 3d printer & scanner.... It was a complete waste of £100..  Oh well, live and learn!!!  It was way too big & bulky for easy control.  Only use I can think of is some abstract art...

Maplin tried to fire my interest in their newsletter today.  The "inspirational examples" shown were truly horrendous bits of "craft art", not quite nothing like as good as the stuff on Fraggle Rock.  And presumably, the demo stuff is as good as it can get.

Bought one for my son for his birthday, took him a while to get the hang of it but he has managed to make some interesting things out of it.
It's certainly not a precision tool, more a fun gimmick.

I got mine as a freebe with my 3D-printer, and use it to repair joints etc when doing multiple part prints to form larger structures, hulls etc
Also good for rope/wire coils etc as deck clutter.
cheers

Icing sugar is a lot cheaper and you can eat your doodles afterwards.  %)
