raises over $1 million on Kickstarter

The developers of the OLO 3D Printer wanted to raise $80,000 through a crowfunding campaign for their $99 gadget that turns your phone into a 3D Printer.
A few days after the project hit Kickstarter, it had raised about $1.3 million.
It’s not hard to see why: this is probably the cheapest 3D printer money can buy, even if it’s for a product that doesn’t actually exist yet and which won’t ship until this fall at the soonest.
But it’s a rather quirky device that only works if you’re willing to set aside your phone for a few hours while your objects are being printed.
So here’s the pitch. OLO is a small box that you set on top of your phone. Just fire up an app on your phone, choose the item you want to print, place the OLO on top of your phone, and pour in the resin. Then the light from your phone will harden the resin into the appropriate shape. When the process is finished, you rinse your item under warm water to finish the process.
You can choose from a library of images or create your own using 3D capture or design software.
The OLO runs on four AA batteries, works with Android, iOS, and Windows phones and supports several different types of resins, all of which should be available for $15 per bottle after the crowdfunding campaign ends.
