You are absolutely welcome. Speaking of game changers, this video is in that category in case you missed it: Introduction to clay forming ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xa7gZse6c5c.html Currently working on part 2. Coming soon. :)
Im pretty good at drawing but I have become much more empathetic to my printer when it makes mistakes since purchasing a 3d pen... You make it look easy.
If you are good at drawing you probably remember it took a while to get that way. So it's same with this thing. I was totally lost at the beginning. It improves with practice. :)
You're so welcome! We are all just learning since this is such a relatively new medium. Figuring out what to do with it is a part of the fun, but sometimes it's helpful to see what others have thought of in terms of technique.
You're very welcome! Glad it helped. Don't miss the part 2- Bridging ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mhAFPLDeVL0.html and possibly this one too: How to use 3d pen to make 3d things - Strategy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KwzfL_JTCp4.html Have fun.
My pleasure.

Thank you so much for this amazing guide to getting started! Such excellent execution, and concise explanations. You've got a new subscriber, and can't wait to watch them all! You deserve all the viewers possible! 💜
Thank you 😊 for the tutorials on how to use the 3D printing pen. My hubby got me one for Christmas yesterday. I can’t wait to play with it. So I just subscribed to your channel. I do videos too. I make cards and such. So if I stamp an image on card stock and run it through my laminator, I can trace it with the 3D pen?
Yes. Provided it's the hot laminating process. There is such a thing as cold lamination which I am not too familiar with but it could potentially involve plastics that can't take the heat of the pen. The work surface is very crucial to the successful use of the pen. I would recommend watching these 2 videos before you get started. Have fun.

@@3DPENDEN I have a laminator machine since I am a card maker. It has a hot and a cold dial. I mostly keep it in hot. I am very good at laminating. Thank you 😊 though
Hi , im into making models from wood . Im most interested in 3D pens to make long thin continuous strips - like miniature pipework . Most surfaces would be smooth or with a light painted undercoat . Would it stick ? Can the finished item be painted over ? Thanks . From 🇬🇧
Filament won't stick to raw wood but it will stick if the wood is primed or painted. It can be painted over but depending on the type of paint I would prime it first. And if anything falls of just glue it back on. Good luck with your projects.
Absolutely. Just make sure the model and what you load into your pen are the same kind of plastic. A lot of plastics don't stick to each other. Like ABS and PLA for instance. Good luck.
It is a dental cement mixing spatula used by dentists. So search dental lab tools. I am not sure if it has a name. But if you can't find one artist's palette knives also work great.
Great video, Hana! I just ordered my pen and some supplies and can't wait to start. Where can I get the stencils that you use in the video of the dog, cat, etc.? I'm going to do this with my Granddaughter and those would be great first projects. Thanks :)
Thanks. I have an Etsy store with downloadable printable patterns. www.etsy.com/shop/3DPenDen?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=926769501 So please visit and look. :) And keep checking. More coming soon.
Yes it will. And sometimes paper will leave residue on the plastic. There are other surfaces that work well. I use plexiglass sprayed with matt acrylic coating. Have you seen these 2 videos? There is a lot of info on the subject of suitable surfaces: 7 things you want from your 3d pen work surface ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n9RXEH7BAzA.html and Best work surface for 3d pen ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QP7YsXWvb8M.html
I got the SCRIB3D today for my birthday, the issue I’m having is I don’t know what speed to use with the different plastic feeds I have, also it doesn’t say anywhere on any of the plastic feeds I bought what the temperature should be, because this isn’t sticking to anything at all, all it is doing is coming out and kinda going into a circle on the tip. Please help me.
I am not personally familiar with the SCRIB3D. The main problem I think you are having is the wrong work surface. There are many surfaces these plastics do not stick to at all and then the filament just curls onto the surface of the nozzle. Watch these and see if that helps. "7 things you want from your 3d pen work surface" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n9RXEH7BAzA.html and "Best work surface for 3d pen" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QP7YsXWvb8M.html If your pen came with instructions it should say whether it has settings for ABS and PLA (however some pens only do one type.) Try watching "How to choose a 3d pen" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vDLCpSjOFHE.html It mentions some of the different filament types. If your pen has a speed button set it to the middle speed initially and see which speed you prefer.
@@3DPENDEN thank you for getting back to me. I have a question maybe you can answer. How do I know what temp for different plastics? It doesn’t tell me on the packages? Thank you in advance
PLA will melt at 170-190 C and ABS 200 - 210 C or so. If you buy in the 1 kg spools it always says on the spool what the melt temp is. Your problem may be if your pen came with a bunch of unmarked packages (as some do) you may not even know what you have. ABS has very distinct plastic odor which is not so good for you to breathe - so ventilate well while working. PLA is practically odorless and also better for you and the environment since it is made from organic materials like cornstarch, but ventilate anyway. If your pen has temp display, set it right around the 200 C, and see if it smells or not to determine what plastic you have. If it is PLA then lower the temp.
@@Scratchingforcash Let me know if you got it to work for you. The surface was the major hurdle for me. It all flowed from there afterwards. Good luck.
@@3DPENDEN Well your voice has a beautiful lilt to it . My wife is from Arnham Netherlands and everybody says they can hear her accent , but my parents are Dutch and compared to them I barely notice hers haha . It's all music to my ears nevertheless . [3D Pen Den] I believe you're right ; and I can't wait to dive in ("all in") lol Bye
@@adrianstanfill4070 Mynt is pretty good about replacing their pens if they are still in the warranty period. But the tip of the nozzle is actually ceramic so it shouldn't have melted. Sometimes it just gets gooped up with the molten plastic. That can be wiped up while the pen is hot with a paper towel but be super careful and use gloves. If it still looks broken contact the company.
