We have a 3D pen in our MakerSpace, but I have only pulled it out a couple of times. I like the precision of a traditional 3D printer. The 3D pen just doesn’t have the accuracy that I prefer. I can’t get the filament to do what I would like. Tonight, my take-home children were watching the Backyard Scientist when this bit came up. I liked his creativity with the projects below. This may be inspiration to get the pen another try.
