Thanks, glad you enjoyed! Let me know how your project turns out.

@@TandemCTelevision I will for sure!

Thanks Kingston!

You're very welcome!

They're a bit of a novelty, but they're relatively cheap, so not a bad tool to have in the box.

No problem, hope it was helpful.

You should give it a try!

Very cool,don't be scared, there's only one way to learn.

Thanks!

Hey Troi, amzn.to/2ILb2ak I also put it in the description.

Thank you!

It's basically a print nozzle in pen form. You can kind of print in 3 dimensions.

Evergreen is the most popular I would say. evergreenscalemodels.com/

It's from Gator Finishing Products, I know you can get them on Amazon, but I think I've also found them at Autozone.

You can get it in pretty heavy gauge but even in large sheets it's going to flex. I'm not sure the exact application you're needing it for, I'm thinking 10lbs would be on the top end it could support. Have you thought about a polycarbonate material like Lexan?

@@TandemCTelevision I need to make a platform to place several sensors on. Chances are there will be two layers at least. The platform will have to be perhaps 14in long and 10in wide. It'll be going on a rc car that I'll have drive autonomously to collect data. I'll have to take a look into the other material you mentioned. Is it easily workable? As in not needing fancy tools to cut it down and easily drill able to put screws through. Thanks for the response. Kinda rare that someone responds on a video posted 1yr+ ago.

I usually buy mine the same place I buy everything... Amazon. lol The pen I use is the 3Doodler Create+, but there's many brands.

I'm not overly familiar with building for O scale, but .060 is very common, .040 may be better for such a small scale.

@@TandemCTelevision Hey, thanks for the quick reply. Just what I needed to know. I will go with .40 to start and may be easier to cut.

Most hobby shops should have it, if not, there's always Amazon. Look for the Evergreen brand.

The thinner stuff for sure, it may become difficult the heavier stock you go to.

Basically a nozzle and heater element in pen form, they're not too expensive and worth checking out.

Here's a link if you want to check it out. amzn.to/2ILb2ak

@@TandemCTelevision They should use those for training tools for welding...

Hey shorts, I had to go back and take a look at the video. I believe it was .060, but I'm not positive. I think that's correct.

@@TandemCTelevision thank you!

lol You didn't know I was 22 did you?
