3D pens – draw models in the air
With 3D pens, you can draw your ideas directly into the air. The pens heat filament that you can shape and model freehand. That's why they are ideal for creative projects, school, hobbies, or just experimenting. And because they are easy to use, they are suitable for both children and adults.
Why a 3D pen is so much fun
Creativity without limits
You can freely design shapes, figures, or lettering. Also, you don't need any computer program – you just start painting. This way, unique pieces are created directly from your hand.
Simple and ready to use immediately
Many pens are ready to use immediately. You plug them in, insert the filament, and can start right away. The operation is intuitive – even for beginners. And if you use multiple colors, your projects become even more exciting.
For school, hobby, and more
Whether you craft, repair, or decorate – a 3D pen is versatile. That's why not only children use it for play, but also teachers, makers, and designers.
What you should pay attention to when buying
Compatible filament
Many 3D pens work with PLA, some also with ABS. Pay attention to which temperature ranges the pen supports. PLA is low-odor and safe – ideal for children.
Ergonomic design
A good pen feels comfortable in the hand. It should also be lightweight so you can work longer without your hand getting tired.
Temperature & speed adjustable
If you want to use different materials, adjustable settings are helpful. This way, you can better respond to the filament and your style.
