What 3d printing pen do you guys recommend? I see ranges from 30 to 200 dollars out there. Any tips?
I bought a cheap pen, maybe the same as the other poster, to help weld things together. Turns out I have no skills, and it looks bad. As a whole for me, 3d pens are annoying to use.
When you need to weld two 3d printed parts together, try Weld-On 3. It comes with a hypodermic applicator. Press the parts tight together, then drip some Weld-On 3 in the seam. The liquid is a strong solvent that dissolves the surface of both pieces, but within a minute the parts are welded together. It’s the BEST way to weld two 3d printed parts together I have ever used. Use in a well ventilated area.
We use a 3Doodler Pro+ at work, which I think might be the most expensive one out there? I’ve got to say, it really isn’t any easier to use than the cheapest alternatives on the market… There’s just a horrendous learning curve to these things in general, although if you think of it as any other art form then I guess it’s probably comparable.
On ours, I do really appreciate the wide heat range, the ability to access the dual gear extruder during operation, and the swappable nozzles. What I don’t appreciate is the ridiculous markup, the non-standard nozzle size, and them lying about only being able to use their special proprietary filament (it’s just normal 2.85mm).
I have this pen which is $60 on Amazon. I really like it. Used it with PLA PETG and ABS with no issues. It doesn’t need as high temperatures as 3D printer as the filament comes out much slower.
