This is a great pen. Firstly, all 3d pens are unreliable due to the nature of their design. Thats why so many reveiws express issues. Some part or another is cheap and doesnt hold up. Many are as good as trash when they become faulty because you cant replace the faulty parts. The heating element in this pen is the faulty part. This is my 3rd 3D pen. The other two brands broke and are not servicable. This unit can be taken apart and serviced if need be. 3D pens and printers are a hobby and like most hobbies it can be rather expensive when breakdowns occur. If you're a hobbyist, spending 30 to 50 bucks every several months to keep producing art is really not that much. This pen is lighter than others which makes it seem a little cheap but the features show the quality. Unlike other pens, this one will feed the plastic 2 ways. First, you can hold the button which stops the feed when released or you can double click the feed button and it will continuously feed which is nice for larger areas. The heating range is adjustable in 1 degree increments which is nice for acheiving the appropriate flow and consistency as each plastic is different and use different temps. The gnome house in the picture i attached was made using wood filament. Overall, its a good pen. Ive only been using it for a few days so i can't speak for its longevity, but ive got about 15 hours on it with no issues. Customer service seems to be readily available for any issues you may have. I am pleased with this purchase. I was happy with the other 2 brands i purchased but they just didnt hold up. Hopefully I can update this at a later time with an equally positive review. Happy printing! Read more
Purchased as a gift for granddaughter and she was thrilled! She's 10 and extremely creative (also a PERFECTIONIST,, so we tried watching a few HOW TO videos to ensure success out of the gate ..) It was good to see that some things shown on ticktock are not realistic without MUCH EXPERIENCE... (this was a good precursor for us to view for sure!!) Regardless.. the first hour was a bit rough... She got very frustrated for the first hour saying she hated this thing... After much encouragement and pushing forward on a detailed project--- she completed and was quite pleased! 😍🤪 I tried to encourage her to start with something basic like tracing shapes on the plastic to get the hang of it, the desired speed, etc... but true to her personally, she refused and insisted on tackling something complex FIRST! ANYWAY, she loves it now... We definitely recommend.. This one seemed to have best reviews and features. We ordered a case and package of extra filament which REALLY excited her .. the pen only comes with a few small rolls of colors like blue, black, white.. (might read package to verify the colors).. Also, we had some dollar tree slide in plastic slip holders that worked great to slide her picture into that she wanted to use as her template for creating a Stitch Christmas Tree ornament... Videos we watched suggested having something like that to be able to easily peel off your creation... Doing onto paperv often leaves the paper attached permanently... Soaking off with water might help if you accidentally encounter that.. Have fun! I did reviews on the other filament & case too.. Read more
Super fun to use, takes some time to understand how to get it structurally sound but once you do it’sa blast! Read more
Edit: I found out the usb plug adapter could be at fault. Contacted Mynt3d and asked for a new adapter, they sent it and now, not only can I adjust the speed, my pen holds temperature and works beautifully. Changed from a 1 star to a 5. Great pen with the correct adapter. If you are having the same issue, contact their customer service and request a new adapter. They are aware and sending them out to replace the defective ones. Old review: Followed instructions in manual and watched YouTube videos for operating this product. The 3d pen does not stay at temperature and shuts off within seconds. It became a game of attempting to click the button before the pen went into shut down mode. Also, the speed control didn't work: the pen shut down if I slowed it past the high end of the slider button. Also, the pen wouldn't double click for continuous flow. I put in my complaint return and they sent me another one to see if it was just this pen. I received the new one today. It has the same problem with not staying at temp and shutting off too quickly and the speed slider not working except on the fastest setting. The continuous flow/double click feature does seem to work on this one. All-in-all: it does adjust to the correct temperature and it is a 3d pen but I wish the speed slider worked and I wish it didn't shut off within seconds of coming to temp. Read more
This pen is so easy to use, and well worth the money! It’s decent sized to hold in your hand like a pencil, and I’m looking forward to making many designs with it! I recommend it to anyone! Read more
