Swiss Pen 3D handheld

After nearly four months of what can only be described as dissembling lying and fraudulent billing by the company, I am surprised to have received a "Swiss Pen".  Those who are reading probably know what it is --- a handheld "3D printer" which is really just a big electric glue gun for ABS plastic filaments.   Its claim to fame was that it was going to beat kickstarter success 3-Doodler to market.

Here i have some unboxing photos.   No fancy packaging (unlike 3-Doodler, which ships in a box worthy of Apple). The power supply won't fit US outlets so until I find an adapter, I don't know if it works.

The major point to make is not that they have shipped, but that the seller has lied and lied and lied for months about "we sent it" and "sorry, we had a delay, we'll send it now" to "sorry, we'll refund your money and you can keep it when it arrives" ..... and that was before Jan 1st.  The last 6 week have seen many promises of a refund -- but somehow they never do complete the process.

Full review after I have an adapter.
