Draw in the air. This 3D pen, also called a 3D printing pen, melts plastic filament and extrudes it as a thin line you can shape into freestanding models, repairs, decorations and art, layer by layer. A slim, ergonomic body keeps it comfortable in the hand for long sessions.
Two controls give you precision. The feed speed is adjustable, so you set how fast material flows, and the temperature adjusts in 1-degree steps from 140 to 230°C (284 to 446°F). A large OLED display shows the temperature while you work. It works with 1.75mm filament, including PLA and ABS.
The kit includes the pen, 3 colours of filament, an AC adapter, a USB cord, a replacement nozzle and a manual. The pen can also run from a USB power bank that supplies at least 2A. It takes a little practice to draw smooth, controlled lines, so start with simple shapes.
It suits hobbyists, designers, students and anyone who likes making things by hand, and it is an easy gift for Christmas and birthdays, a great gift for men and women who enjoy making things. Safety note: the nozzle and melted plastic get very hot. Never touch the tip, work on a heat-safe surface in a well-ventilated room because heated filament can give off fumes, unplug the pen after use and let it cool before changing filament or putting it away. It is not a toy: keep it away from young children and supervise younger users at all times.
