There's probably a legitimate use for these things. But I'm not sure what it is yet.
You plug it into a suitably rated (2A) USB power supply, load standard PLA filament and can then doodle with a stream of molten plastic.
The circuitry is VERY cost optimised with the buttons and LEDs most likely being multiplexed on the same pins as the LCD display. But other than that it contains what you'd expect. An H-bridge motor driver, MOSFET for the heater and a voltage regulator for the microcontroller.
I started doing a full reverse engineering on this, but after my sharp meter probe had slipped off a microscopic resistor connection for the 50th time I stopped.
This thing is surprisingly well made for the cost. It has a custom ceramic heater tip and a robust metal filament drive system.
Sorry for the lack of schematic. This video came too close to another that had taken three evenings to reverse engineer, and I just wasn't in the mood for a cryptic multiplexing system with LEDs, LCD display, buttons and analogue sensing all multiplexed onto a low pin-count microcontroller.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- www.bigclive.c...
This also keeps the channel independent of RU-vid's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

Definitely useful for modification to 3d prints. Fixing / joining parts, filling holes. Fixing in magnets. Saved me many a time from having to do a full reprint. If I've put a hole in the wrong place. If you have to drill a new hole you're probably drilling into infill not solid plastic, so you can reinforce the infill with the 3d pen. As a tool to make something from scratch, then perhaps not.

@انا_ابراهيم_البناوي 20 часов назад

Absolutely it's an amazing tool to have I would love if 3d printing companies made their own 3d pens and made it better like having the ability to change the nozzle diameter

@lImbus924 14 дней назад

I know somebody who uses such a device in conjunction with 3d printers. They build big sculptures with many smaller 3d printed blocks and parts, and this is one of the tools they use to join it all together and smooth out the seams.

@strehlow 15 дней назад

The idea behind these is to draw in space. Set the temperature to the lowest point it will flow so it hardens as soon as it leaves the tip.

@scbtripwire 22 часа назад

I understand the concept behind this, but I have difficulty seeing it work in my mind due to gravity. Edit: I looked up videos of this thing in action on RU-vid and all of them use a surface on which to lay the filament. It's nowhere near as exciting as I was imagining, but makes sense.

I can see it being useful for repairing other items made of the same material. Hot melt glue just doesn't have the correct adhesive properties when trying to repair things like cracked ABS while I imagine this could be forced into a crack where it would amalgamate with the base material.

I do this but prewarming is a must. I use a butane torch with a hot air adapter. I premelt the pieces ahead of the pen and follow with a circular motion with the pen to blend the plastic together. Get the 12v model of these if you can. They go hotter but they are getting harder to find

I consider this very useful tool along with 3D printer. I use it for fixing 3D prints. E.g. If I print something large and notice I missed some detail, I draw it by hand or print it aside and weld together. Or if I break a print, sometimes it can be used as a welder to put the things back together.

@squidcaps4308 21 час назад

And fixing failed supports mid-print... I use mine couple of times a year but just one rescued print is enough, don't regret buying it at all. It is limited of what it can do but what it can.. can't be done with any other tool. I've fixed so many prints with it over the years.

I have used mine with a flexible filament to make several stub antennas for broken transceivers. I made a rubbery foot for an aluminium chair. This was extruded onto the correct size of wood to replicate the chair leg. (The completed food was smoothed over using a soldering iron to shape the plastic.) It was a little difficult to remove from the wooden former but it looked the part once fitted. I also made another foot for a missing tubular leg of a desk. This time I was able to construct it inside the tube. Again the soldering iron was used to smoooth the part and match it with the other 3 feet. Not properly used it with other brittle filaments. But I can imagine a use with the clear filament for repairing the christmas led reindeer, as bits have broken off.

@kilosierraalpha 23 часа назад

Hi Clive, these 3D pens are super-useful for fixing 3D prints or joining two 3D printed parts together. Lots of vids on YT show how to do that.

@oasntet 15 дней назад

I've got one of the very early ones, when they were still just 3d printer extruders in a new housing; now they're way cheaper as manufacturers have realized you don't need precision stepper motors in a manually-operated extruder... They're not useless, though the marketing for them has no idea what to use them for. I've mostly used mine to reinforce functional 3d prints; there's a technique where you leave notches in the print oriented vertically (the weak axis) and then fill those notches in manually, and it significantly improves the strength on that axis. I've also done some minor manual sculpting and plastic welding with it; mine has a removable sock over the nozzle, and when I remove that I can use the nozzle to re-melt already-placed plastic. (Technically a tube is only a Bowden tube when both ends are fixed, the way a bike cable is fixed. A free length of PTFE tubing acting as a guide isn't a Bowden tube.)

@jerrydurand4127 22 часа назад

just make a mold and you have an injection molding setup. :) I know some kids use these to make flowers and such. Lets them work with the plastic on a low budget.

@forgingluck 22 часа назад

These things are so neat and fun to use, but the early ones were a bit picky. I had to repair my scribblr like a week ago. It got too hot and jammed a bunch of pla down into the area just before the heating assembly. Ended up having to blast a mini screwdriver with butane and jam that a inch into the nozzle to melt it enough to pull it out the circuit board side, so I wouldn't have to desolder the heater.

@quandiy5164 23 часа назад

I got a bunch of those tiny LCDs for about 1.5usd per lot of 5. Now I know where they were originally used for. I never got around to using them yet as they are not as simple to use as I originally thought. There are three common pins as suspected but they are not per digit. 1 common is for the top segments, another for the middle segments and the 3rd for the bottom segments. Makes coding a bit of a pain to make characters.

@squidcaps4308 21 час назад

I use mine mostly on fixing prints, occasionally welding prints together if the join doesn't need to be that strong. Adding dots to loose friction fit parts to increase its strength (again, non-critical stuff..) and fixing failed supports mid-print. They are handy but limited. But what they do can't be done with any other tool, so.. used three times a year, on average but i do not regret buying it. I did buy two cheapos from eBay before biting the bullet and bought a Polaroid pen. It has worked just fine, a bit finicky about the USB power as it does seem to actually draw the full 2W so you need to give it a proper USB power supply. The cheapos didn't care at all what PSU i used, as long as it was somewhere between 1 and 2W. Especially fixing supports is what it does really well and better than any other method. The bad news is that it is clunky as fuck and does not have removable nozzle cover: that is why removable covers are better, they narrow the tip down to minimum.

@MladenMijatov 20 часов назад

They are awesome for repairing broken 3D prints. A number of times I have 3D printed something, only to not include enough support or make certain parts weak. Once they break all you need to do is "weld" it with this pen and it's good as new.

@vhfgamer 17 часов назад

I have a nearly identical 3d printer pen. Except mine doesn't continually feed when you push the button. You hold the button down and it feeds. Also mine came with a proper wall adapter instead of a USB plug. I use mine for plastic welding for repairs. Like if I pull a device apart and the plastic is cracked, or if screw posts snap off, I can weld them back on better than if I used glue. It works better because the pen melts the surface of whatever I'm repairing, and it melds nicely with the melted ABS coming out of the pen. Making a pretty rock solid repair. Just like welding steel.

@rarbiart 14 дней назад

a follow up look at the actually heating element current and ntc value (while both connected) would be great. I suspect some sorcery in that controller.

@elvinhaak 19 часов назад

I use them all the time to finish and repair 3D-prints. Kind of like glue within ABS/PETG prints mostly to connect the parts just pushing filament into holes that stick well together. I put that into the design-thought already. Another option is to fill holes in prints with connections like screws or pins below the surface. So after the printing of the parts, put them together with the (steel) pins, use the pen to close the opening and you don't have the connectors into sight anymore. If you press the molten filament in the hole slightly, it is almost invisible if you use the same filament (the rest of the roll).

@napalmholocaust9093 23 часа назад

You not being able to push filament through while off is probably a consequence of the gear train requirements of torque at the end of tbe line to rotate. The strand can't push hard enough before it deforms.

@Alobster1 22 часа назад

These used to be 12v and would go up to 240C. It's very hard to find these any more. The 5v ones don't go as hot and they don't melt ABS as well. I use my 12v model to repair abs parts by prewarming with a small butane hot air nozzle and follow with the pen to weld the pieces together. The 5v models aren't as effective

I found one of these to be fairly useful for repairing or small modifications to prints. Though you have to smush the nozzle into the print to get a good stick. Also, it died after about 10 uses. Mine looked the same but with a small, all metal gearbox. Edit, I see others have the same idea. 👍

I learned welding in the 80's and the 3D pen is useful for "welding" 3D printed parts together - hot melt glue doesn't stick properly, universal glue like UHU works for joining flat surfaces, the 3D pen can bridge gaps - they all have their purpose.

@frogz 23 часа назад

you got the good 3d pen!!! i've been trying to get 1 of these since mine broke, this is a way better design than the 3d doodler which only has 2 forward speeds and NO reverse, these are great for repairing/patching/assembling actual 3d prints edit: this may be a clone of the pen i had, mostly the same components but mine had an actual linear pot for the speed control also a random use for these is insulating random broken wires without properly repairing them when the insulation breaks RIGHT at the strain relief, my 52v bike charger had that before i replaced the entire dc side to the board

I bought one of these pens a couple of years ago to basically play with, but when I started downloading free 3D print STL files for things it found a practical use. Some of the files I downloaded had some design errors - thin areas that cracked, or oversized holes and slots. The pen allowed repairs to be made, in a sloppy way mind you, to allow the printed gizmo to be used and not scrapped. Handy too for plugging holes in things when hot glue isn't quite permanent enough. Have I got good value from it? probably not, but it's been useful in some cases. Cheers! PS it should not be underestimated as a tool for making freehand sculptured decorations for beverage glasses used after carbonation...8^)

I have one and have had it since my first week of 3D printing, to be able to repair small fails in large (as in multi day) prints, or stuff like that. However such things didn't happen that often at all, and i ended up using it only two or three times in a time span of about 10 years 😂. Other than that I PERSONALLY find then quite useless also to be honest. The controls are also TERRIBLE. Like yours, mine also has the 'press once to extrude, press again to stop'... and in the most uncomfortable position to be able to work accurately and cleanly. I THINK if they would move the buttons (OR add an extra one which works as 'hold to extrude') that it would be much more functional. Neat video, and I don't blame you at all for not making a circuit drawing of this 'contraption'😂👍🏽

ABS gives off toxic vapors when printing, and an enclosure is advised when using it in a 3d printer. So this having an ABS setting strikes me as wildly unsafe, as how many people actually follow the warnings given in the included literature ? Given how litigious the US of A is, I'd guess not many 😅🤣

@RichieReportsUK_UKCNews 22 часа назад

I don't think the ABS fumes are toxic, unless you overheated it, I worked in the plastic moulding industry for about 30 years, When moulding ABS, at the correct temperatures, (around 220 - 250°C) it often had a sort of sweet smell.

@nicholaswouters1203 19 часов назад

@@RichieReportsUK_UKCNews Just about every 3d printing blog mentions the need for an enclosure for printing ABS, and many give the reason as toxic fumes.. I did go find a MDS from one of the filament manufacturers and also read up on fume extraction and found "Although ABS filament fumes are not considered toxic, they are unpleasant to most users. As the material is heated in a 3D printer, it creates gas and microscopic particles during the process. This exudes fumes that can cause physical discomfort such as drowsiness, eye irritation, nausea and headaches." So while not toxic, its also not great 😅

They're apparently excellent plastic welders and good for touching up 3d prints that have come out a bit wonky. Only having plastic type settings and not temp settings is a big fail though. IIRC abs melts a bit higher than PETG so it should be able to do PETG too if it had a temp setting mode. Make it a bit hotter and you could do nylon too, though I can't see nylon working well out of one of these.

Nice one! All you have to do, is to mount it in a cartesian frame and use som steppers and a small microcontroller, some software and perhaps you can even automate it!!! Jokes aside, I'd guess if you experimented with this thing with thermistor loose or shortcut, I can only guess that you'll get a very hot hotend indeed. If it were to reach 388 degrees, which should be quite simple, PLA will ignite and if you're not around to watch when that happens, if you're lucky, you'll be able to extinguish the fire quickly. Otherwise it won't go well… PS: Please revisit this to take a closer look what'll happen if/when this thing goes haywire. I'm pretty certain this is a catastrophy waiting to happen.

If the temp sensor fails high, could you overdrive the feed to compensate? I know nothing about multiplexing past cars have it. Can the 3 resistors be changed or will the chip not cooperate?

For the man who already has everything. So basically a fancy hot glue gun, lol. Ok, it's unique but I've made patterns with a small hot glue gun, using different colours and even just squeezing out some B6000 glue on a greased surface can do the same. What else would pass through that? Licorice strings? Maybe for cake decorating.

Can you actually get licorice strings? I've not seen them in the UK for many years. (called licorice laces here)
