Kickstarter had a huge year. So much of a good year I wanted to tell you about the best projects of 2014. The most funded project this year was also considered as the largest Kickstarter campaign ever. It's the Coolest Cooler, a seriously goofy but multi-functional cooler including an array of gadgets.

The Micro 3D Printer raised $3,401,361, after only asking for $50,000, making it the 3rd most successful campaign this year. Said to be designed for everyone, the 2.2-pound Micro is only $299, lets you download models and print, and only uses 1/10th of the power that other 3D printers use.

The other one worth mentioning was the Mota 3D, but not because of its success, but because the company realized they manufactured a cheap 3D printer that worked cheaply. I guess that's what happens when you try and sell a 3d printer for 99 bucks and claim it to be quality.

The 3Doodler was a super fun idea. Coming in as the first 3D printing pen that works by drying itself mid air as you draw, this guy made over 2 million.

Another 2 million dollar idea was SCIO, a pocket sensor that scans the world around you and relays its information to your smartphone.

Brand and Grotesque, had an interesting dream to alter a video game controller into a blood sucking machine, and it didn't go so well. Dubbed Blood Sport, the controller was modified with a blood collection system that took the player's blood whenever he or she suffered from a wound in game.

The Anonabox ended up as a controversial flop, as the company mislead funders into believing its hardware was custom made.
