What is a 3d Pen:

In simple words,using a 3d pen, you can create 3d arts. It uses plastic as ink. You will insert a plastic filament, it will be melted inside the pen and once that’s done, you can start writing on anything you want. In this article we are going to show you some best 3d pen currently available.

For whom you are looking a 3D Pen:

So, do you want to buy a 3D Pen for your kids, to gift someone or you want to buy it for yourself?

The 3D pen fits all of your needs. Don’t you think? What could be more fun than painting something on Air? Ok, you cannot erase what you draw but who thinks about that? Think about drawing a 3D sunglass, a 3D Eifel Tower or a 3D butterfly !! Best thing is that you don’t require any technical knowledge to learn how to operate a 3D Pen and also it is not as expensive as 3D Printers.

Guide for buying : Best 3d Pen to buy:

1. Ink Type: Previously all 3D pen uses a heating mechanism to melt plastic that can be used to draw 3D art. The main problem with this process is that the tip of the pen sometimes becomes hotter and so it is not safe for kids. But since September 2015 one more technology is introduced commonly known as “cool ink 3D Pen ” that uses molted plastics as ink. The 3D pen which is developed using this technology also has a UV light that is used to cool down the molten plastic which makes drawing in air much easier. So, if you are looking 3D pen for your kids, cool ink pen will be a better option.
2. Design: Always go for slimmer 3D pen first. Think about it, can you draw using a pencil which is 5 times than a normal one? 3D pens are bigger in size as compared to a normal pencil ( of course, it has some machines inside ), but how can one draw something without holding properly in hand !!!
3. Read reviews: Before buying anything, always read reviews about that product. Read all: Most helpful, Best and Worst. Note down all bad reviews submitted by more than one people.
4. Warranty and Accessories: Check for the warranty of the 3D pen you are going to buy. Also, check for other accessories with the package included. Do you want to buy filament ink next day after buying one 3D pen without any ink to test?
