Scribbler V3

Image
The latest version of Scribbler’s base 3D pen model, the V3 is a fantastic all-around choice. In style and features, it’s similar to the  SkyWriter3D , but comes at a slightly lower price. 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $79.95 USD Supported filaments: PLA, ABS (kit includes 3 rolls) Power cable: Wall socket Speed control: 6 settings Temperature control: 2 settings, PLA or ABS Indicators: Screen (speed, temperature, filament mode) Filament buttons: Extrusion and unloading Continuous extrusion setting: No Automatic sleep mode: Yes Body: Ergonomic Clones:   SketchPro ($99.95)

Polaroid Play

Image
Given the big price tag, and the big name, this one leaves something to be desired. A USB cable and 8-speed settings are nice, but they just barely make up for the lack of temperature control, and the fact that the pen only prints in PLA. 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $129.99 USD Supported filaments: PLA (kit includes 4 rolls) Power cable: USB Speed control: 8 settings Temperature control: None Indicators: LEDs (power, status) Filament buttons: Extrusion and unloading Continuous extrusion setting: Yes Automatic sleep mode: No Body: Relatively ergonomic Extras: Pen stand

Scribbler V1

Image
Although almost identical in appearance to its  successor , the Scribbler V1 has one major difference: It only supports ABS. This is also a somewhat unique characteristic in that other one-filament 3D pens typically print PLA. Oh, and it doesn’t have a screen. But that’s not such a big deal. Overall, a fine model at a fine price. And likely the base model for many later models, brand name or no. Respect. 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $29.99 USD Supported filaments: ABS (kit includes 3 rolls) Power cable: Wall socket Speed control: Slider Temperature control: None Indicators: LEDs (power, status) Filament buttons: Extrusion and unloading Continuous extrusion setting: No Automatic sleep mode: Yes Body: Relatively ergonomic

Scribbler V2

Image
If you do a little snooping for 3D pens, you’re gonna see this one, and its other versions, a  lot . Next to 3Doodler, Scribbler is one of the big American companies producing 3D pens. Unlike 3Doodler, nearly all of Scribbler’s products are cloned, in big way. And while this may not be such a great thing for Scribbler, it’s actually pretty nice for the consumer, as finding a decent 3D pen for a fantastic price is pretty much guaranteed. 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $69.99 USD Supported filaments: PLA, ABS (kit includes 3 rolls) Power cable: Wall socket Speed control: Slider Temperature control: 2 settings, PLA or ABS Indicators: Screen (temperature) Filament buttons: Extrusion and unloading Continuous extrusion setting: No Automatic sleep mode: Yes Body: Relatively ergonomi c

Homecube 3D Printing Pen, 4th Generation

Image
We’ve already seen the  Homecube Professional . Now comes his slightly less capable (and slightly more expensive) brother. Apart from a sleeker look and feel, the primary difference between the Professional and the Generation 4 is the lack of a USB cable, rendering this 3D printing pen a little less mobile, as it can’t be used with a power bank. 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $99.99 USD Supported filaments: PLA, ABS (kit includes 3 rolls) Power cable: Wall socket Speed control: Slider Temperature control: 2 settings, PLA or ABS Indicators: Screen (temperature) Filament buttons: Extrusion and unloading Continuous extrusion setting: Yes Automatic sleep mode: Yes Body: Relatively ergonomic Extras: Pen stand

Scribbler Duo

Image
Already a huge presence in the market, Scribbler is stepping up its game once again with the Duo. Annoyingly, this 3D pen kinda breaks the below list, as its most important and unique feature, its twin-tipped nozzle, is forced to appear in “Extras”, along with the stencils and pen caps… Needless to say, this feature is fantastic for more complex drawings, as one can instantly switch between two different filaments, or simultaneously draw with both! 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $129.00 USD Supported filaments: PLA, ABS (kit includes 3 rolls) Power cable: Wall socket Speed control: 6 settings Temperature control: 2 settings, PLA or ABS Indicators: Screen (temperature, speed) Filament buttons: Extrusion and unloading Continuous extrusion setting: Yes Automatic sleep mode: Yes Body: Relatively ergonomic Extras: Two nozzles (can use left, right, or both )

CoLiDo 3D Printing Pen

Image
Looks kinda like the  Create , doesn’t it? And with the same two extrusion speed buttons, it performs similarly, too! One major difference, and in general unique feature of the CoLiDo: It has a retractable nozzle! No accidental surface (or skin) burning here. With stencils and a large amount of starter filament, this is a nice 3D pen for anyone trying out 3D drawing for the first time. 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $88.40 USD Supported filaments: PLA, ABS (kit includes 50 sticks) Power cable: Wall socket Speed control: 2 settings Temperature control: 2 settings, PLA or ABS Indicators: LED (status) Filament buttons: Fast extrusion and slow extrusion Continuous extrusion setting: No Automatic sleep mode: No Body: Slim Extras: Retractable nozzle, stencils

3Dsimo

Image
What’s really surprising about the 3Dsimo is its relatively low price for its impressive list of features. Most 3D pens in this list support only PLA and ABS, but the 3Dsimo takes 3D drawing one step further by additionally printing in HIPS and PET. With a fully interactive menu, the screen is also a cut above those found on other models. You can even change its display language! On the other hand, it has a somewhat awkward way of accommodating… a hand. Despite its attempts to be ergonomic, this 3D printing pen is a little bulky, so users with smaller hands might have trouble. 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $59.00 USD Supported filaments: PLA, ABS, HIPS, PET (kit includes 5 rolls) Power cable: Wall socket Speed control: 3 settings Temperature control: Filament settings Indicators: Screen (temperature, speed, language settings, etc.) Filament buttons: Extrusion and unloading Continuous extrusion setting: No Automatic sleep mode: No Body: Relatively ergonomic

SkyWriter3D Printing Pen

Image
Coming in second place on our list of best pens for artists, the SkyWriter3D is marketed as “the lightest 3D pen on the planet”, weighing in at only 55 grams. Apart from being easy to use, this model additionally boasts an impressive list of features, and at a reasonable price. (Don’t forget to check for sales!) 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $99.95 USD Supported filaments: PLA, ABS (kit includes 10 rolls) Power cable: Wall socket Speed control: 8 settings Temperature control: 2 settings, PLA or ABS Indicators: Screen (temperature, status) Filament buttons: Extrusion and unloading Continuous extrusion setting: Yes Automatic sleep mode: Yes Body: Very ergonomic Extras: Pen stand, stencils

AIO Printing Pen

Image
Next to their well-established 3D printer  ZEUS , AIO Robotics also offers a 3D pen. Although it only supports PLA filament, the ability to adjust the temperature by increments of 1°C makes it possible to accommodate multiple PLA variants. Add to that 5-speed settings and a sleek design, and you have yourself a pretty professional product for a pretty modest price (especially when on sale, which is common). 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $99.99 USD Supported filament: PLA (kit includes 2 rolls) Power cable: USB Speed control: 5 settings Temperature control: Minimal range but high precision Indicators: Screen (speed, temperature) Filament buttons: Extrusion and unloading Continuous extrusion setting: Yes Automatic sleep mode: Yes Body: Slim

3Doodler Create

Here it is, the 3D printing pen that started it all… Well, not really. In truth, the Create is the  descendant  of the original 3Doodler. Still, it deserves some recognition, not only for its role in the world of 3D printing pens, but also for its features. In an unusual twist, the Create has two buttons for two extrusion speeds, and no unloading button. Then again, it is the original – maybe it’s the other pens that are strange… As with other big company 3D printing pens, a wide variety of accessories exist for the Create, including a swappable nozzle set, the DoodlePad (3D drawing surface), the JetPack (portable battery pack), and a foot pedal to relieve the fingers. 3D Pen Review:  3Doodler Create Review: Using This 3D Printing Pen Is Fun 3D Pen Features: Cost:  $99.99 USD Supported filaments: PLA, ABS (kit includes 3 rolls) Power cable: Wall socket Speed control: 2 settings Temperature control: 2 settings, PLA or ABS Indicators: LED (status) Filament buttons: Fas
