@kiranamida
I think limiting the amount of product a kickstarter needs to make is a great idea.
Being too successful can be deadly (as we saw with Dropfleet commander … ).

@nighthaunter666 it is your money but I wouldn’t do it for the simple fact that there are comparable device out there (the Dremel Lite is in the exact same price range).
Those devices are bigger than that ‘small’ pen they show, but with mechanical devices there usually is a damned good reason (= physics).

Disclaimer : I do not own a Dremel and I have no relation with them in any shape or form.

The Dremel doesn’t look quite as ‘easy to use’ as a pen … but you’ve also got to remember you’re dealing with a device that is spinning a pointy bit at a few thousand rpm. You need something to hold on to, especially when dealing with materials that could grab onto the bit … so there is a bit of safety to consider as well.

That doesn’t look too bad to be honest.

And an Adam Savage video just for fun

(and the internet groaned when he refered to his tool as a Dremel Proxxon … :D)
