Most of our orders are from repeat customers. Parts-People began as a small company 20 years ago in an extra bedroom of my house. I had saved a small sum of money to purchase some computer parts and began selling them on eBay. After a few months I realized that people needed a place to go for Dell parts so I began building our website. Since we are located in Austin, Texas, where Dell.com was founded, I was able to set up a solid supply line with Dell. From the start, we focused on customer satisfaction and selling quality parts. We have grown a lot since 2002 but still and always the customer will come first. You will find that we go above and beyond with every order and offer free resources and support before and after the sale.

In the ever-expanding field of 3D printing, bigger things are coming in smaller and smaller packages. This week we saw the introduction of LIX’s 3D printing pen, a pen-sized device that allows you to sketch in the air without using paper. Most of you will remember the 3Doodler that launched on Kickstarter last year and was met with rabid initial interest – a fun tool for sure, but due to bulkiness and a lack of precision while doodling, we have heard little about it since. The LIX 3D pen works off of pretty much the same premise, except it is lighter and slimmer, giving it the feel of an actual pen and providing a level of precision that its chunkier predecessor did not allow. It appears this is something people are very interested in, as the Kickstarter hit its funding goal less than two hours after its launch, and has surpassed that goal many times over with 27 days still remaining in its campaign.
So how does this tiny, pen-sized uber-cool air doodler work? In a fashion very similar to 3D printers, it melts and then cools colored plastic, allowing the user to create rigid and freestanding structures. Once loaded with a special ABS of PLA filament, which is introduced in the upper extremity of the LIX pen, the company states simply that “the filament goes through a patented mechanism while moving through the pen to finally reach the hot-end nozzle which melts and cools it down”. Sounds so easy, I can almost imagine that Geico Caveman advertising this thing once it hits the shelves. The pen only has two buttons which allow you to control the speed at which the filament is released, giving the drawer the ability to draw at a faster or slower pace, as well as adjust the thickness of the lines. Further simplifying the fun, the hot-end nozzle derives its power from any USB source, making powering the pen as simple as plugging it in to the nearest laptop. But the best plug yet for this awe-inspiring little art gadget is what LIX itself says on their Kickstarter page – “An interesting fact about this light-weight, engineered pen is that these structures can be formed in any imaginable shape”. That’s right – for nerds, artists, techies, entrepreneurs, gadget-heads and impulse buyers alike – the possibilities are literally endless.
Since the Kickstarter campaign has already far surpassed its initial goal of £30,000 (more than ten times over, as of publication), getting your hands on one should be a piece of cake. Backing the project for £82 or more (roughly $135) will get you one LIX 3D pen in black or grey matte, plus 3 bags of mixed colored plastic. If everything goes according to plan, the company hopes to start shipping the first production models to backers as early as September of this year.
