If I sell someone a sheet of A4 paper for $100, have I not swindled them?

Unless you lie and tell them that it's something other than a sheet of A4 paper, no, you haven't swindled them. You sold a sheet of A4 paper at the price that someone was willing to pay.

Which is exactly what has happened here on two counts -

1) it is not a world first - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4156

2) it is not a 3D printing pen, it's just an extruder - exactly the same mechanism as that used in a glue gun.

1. The item on thingiverse isn't referred to as a 3D pen.

2. Extrusion is the mechanism through which most 3D printing works. In this case, the extruder is attached to your arm rather than to a machine.
