Cool. I only wish they weren't trying to patent it. Prior art exists in the form of http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2010/09/19/repurpose-your-old-m... at the very least. I've emailed the EFF 3d printer patentbusting group to see what they can do about making sure the patent does not get issued.

What's the patent for? I'd tend to think that it's not just "hand held plastic extruder"...

Nobody knows. The application is not public yet. All they are saying is "patent pending" with no specifics.
