A doodle of a girl and 3D design on diya. Pics/Nimesh Dave

We were hit by nostalgia when we saw molten and gooey, pale pink mix flow out of a pen nozzle onto our desk. As we drew scrawny lines, we remembered childhood afternoons spent applying mehendi on our palms. However, a far cry from the modest cone, the bright yellow contraption in our hands was actually a hi-tech Doodler 3D Printing Pen, which helps you take art to the next level — by drawing cool 3D doodles and designs that stand too. One of the latest arrivals in the quirky e-shop Flintstop’s kitty, the pen costs '5,999. Is it worth it? We take the toy for a doodle spin and find out.
