Also the abs plastic strands have a health issue because of the oil based feature on it the fumes aren’t so healthy that means I recommend you use pla plastic
Phew! I sent an email to the company asking whether I had to use their filaments. This was after watching a video warning not to buy a pen that forced you to use proprietary filaments. The answer was yes. Their pens use the 2.85 mm size not the standard 1.75 mm. So no thanks. And thank you for confirming that in fact their filaments cost more!
There's no battery, you turn it on and use it while it's plugged in. Most tools with heating elements (soldering guns, hair dryers, this create+ pen, etc) need constant flow of power to work.
Thanks! I think the recommended age for the Create+ is 12 years or older, but they also have one for younger kids starting at 6 years old called "Start".
The biggest issue is keeping the grid or skeleton in place without it falling off. Most grids (in construction at least) are screwed in or taped, then something heavy is put on it like joint compound. If the filler material is lighter than the plastic or you're sure the plastic skeleton is fused tightly to whatever you're penning it on, it might be worth a shot.
I couldn't tell you since I don't live in your region. You'll probably have to take into account import tax and duty rates if you can't buy it locally.
@@FirstL00k I was looking for some shoes at the Salvation Army, because all of mine were falling apart. I meandered by the electronics, miscellaneous section, and it caught my eye. I remembered seeing commercials for it years ago and it being multiple payments of 19.99. So I knew I couldn't pass it up. I'm learning the craft to make accessories for my sons toys, small action figures for the obscure/foreign shows my sons loves and "collectable" type things for OSRS (a game I play).
