Unlike with regular pens where you can only draw on a flat surface, this device lets you start on the flat but then lift the nib up to build ‘doodles’ that spring off the page.

The trick lies in the "ink" used in the pen. The brightly-coloured plastic filament melts easily and then hardens to create solid but delicate structures.

It's a messy but fun way to unleash your creativity.
