- 3D Pens have been around since 2013. I've always wanted to learn to use a 3D-Pen, but kept putting it off. A few weeks ago, I decided to buy one and give it a go! I started with some simple projects, (which were rough) and ended up with a robot I was proud of.
**Warning, if you watched this video and thought: "That looks easy, I"m gonna buy to buy a 3d pen and make some awesome stuff, how hard can it be?" It's way harder than it looks. I have years of 2D drawing experience and it was hard for me. You've been warned...

I got one of these pens for christmas and this video is quite inspiring. I’ve mostly just been making goofy little creatures but I think I can make something cooler after learning the basics.
Hey man, really enjoyed the video. keep it up!!!
Give this man a like for all the hard work and HOURS spent showing you something
I'm your 100th like lol
10 years ago, this video woulda made him a full-time income.
51+ hours spent to show us we'd better just lay down the $300 for a 3D printer.
I do not want to detract from the importance of videos like this one, as expressing "the value of a first step" is one of the greater lessons one can impart, but 51 hours is not really very long at all. It's about a week or 2 if we include time spent on other things. A prodigy takes longer than that to learn to manipulate quaternions via assembly code to produce accurate artificial intelligence for a bot in an FPS game.
Lots of people spend hundreds or thousands of hours building skills, and producing content with those skills, and then posting videos of what they created, which then get overlooked because they trust their audience to appreciate the result without going into such detail about their learning process or why their creation has value. What you're suggesting is that people don't want to see the results of hard work so much as have things explained to them, which would explain the surge of appeal of channels like 3B1B. I imagine presentation has a lot to do with it as well and that this video would have appealed a lot less if the voice over had been transcribed as captions instead.
There are so many videos with tens of thousands of views explaining simple binary and boolean algebraic concepts in videos of 10 minutes or longer, but a video that is only a couple of minutes long which shows the results of a 1000+ hour project gets no views, even if the layers and layers of complexity of the project were originally built on those same topics that were popular in the longer videos which had far less time put into their development.
It does make sense that limiting complexity of a presentation's topic and going into extreme detail would appeal to a wider audience, but I feel this discourages people from posting truly extravagant things that would be impeded by having to so intensely document their process beyond just taking notes - scripting, recording, and editing exponentiate process duration compared to simply performing the task being recorded. I bet B-a-S here even spent at least 51 or more hours on documenting this process into a 13 minute video, effectively doubling the time they put into it. Now imagine having to double the effort to demonstrate something you've spent hundreds of hours on to find an audience that will appreciate it.
These are all my current theories for why it's so hard to find truly engaging content - on UA-cam, the Internet, and in general - and while some of it does surface from natural selection, it can't get much more common so long as appealing to the masses is more rewarding than appealing to audiences with greatly specialized knowledge.

A few ways to improve 3D pen stuff is to use a soldering iron (or heat gun like you had) to smooth the plastic together, use a dremel to sand it down, and paint it once you're finished. I haven't gotten to do this myself, but I've seen a channel that uses those techniques and his pieces are amazing.
i bet a spoon and a candle also works
@@sheldondrake8935 sadly that would create soot most likely, which will make the model dirty. with a proper soldering iron you can make sure to make temp of the iron itself specifically as to not burn plastic, too.

When you realise all pens are 3D, only that they draw 2D things
Time to get a 4D Pen!
U realise all pens are 3D but the ink is way to flat to see
Maybe in another universe there will be a 4D pen that can only draw 3D things
there is a theory that the whole world ,like we know it, is only 2D but inside of a black hole, that generates a 3D model of everything. it could mean that the pen istn really 3D but we think its 3D xD ;D

This was great. I've been interested in watching some design-competent person learn to use one of these for a while. I'd be interested in seeing you go further..and maybe you have, this video came out a couple years ago, while I just found and subscribed to your channel. Good stuff!
Let’s me honest no one searched for this, but everyone watched the whole video

Saw some people "ironing" the surface with soldering iron tip, to make the surface nicer
I did end up ironing some of the armor on the last robot with a wood engraving tool. I never did get the hang of making the smooth surfaces though. I just seemed to burn everything or gum up my wood engraver. Need to tinker more.
@@BuildaSkill that's because you need lower temperature. Like, 180 degrees or so for PLA, when it's soft, but not too liquid and sticky. The best way to do that, IMO, is the hotend of the pen itself, just like 3D printers do it!
Or you can try putting baking paper over the plastic and ironing that.
İts probably shanago
@@BuildaSkill yea u really need to have a tool that u specifically use for smoothing out the plastic, i bought a soldering iron specifically for smoothing out the plastic but allot of plastic stuck to the tips of the iron still, got what i paid for though since it was a fairly cheap one, also depending on the plastic used a common lighter is more than enough to smooth 3d pen creations
I started w/ one of these a friend gave me (b/c he picked it up thinking it was neat, but did not have the art skill to really unleash it --- but I work w/ all types of mediums)
So I began the same way you did.. but ultimately learned earlier on that I could smooth my creations w/ a cheap woodburner (worth having some type of fan/ventilation for this).
I started a couple Marvel characters like Spiderman and Venom, but I have not picked them up in a few months b/c of other things coming up.
This is something I think I will return to soon. I have some great basic shapes (and the long lengths of PLA worked much better for me too).
Glad to see others enjoying this tech. It's different, and certainly fun to mess w/.
its been years and i still love this video sm
I'm still alive! Sorry it took.... 2 years.... but I made another video where I learn to 3D model using an architectural software called grasshopper. Different skill, but similar format:

2. I only tried the 2 pens so I don't know enough to make recommendations. The names of the pens I used are in the description. I bought them off amazon.
3. I'm glad you liked the video, thank you for all the nice comments!

Amazing progress. I'm considering a 3d pen simply for touching-up PLA prints that might come out slightly imperfect or a small piece breaks off in final production. Those last two projects highlight just how much can be done with such a simple tool once the skills are developed.

I've got the same pen and I've made lines in the air! It's more time consuming, but it's worth it. You have to go REALLY slow, and take periodical breaks to let the plastic cool
anyone else getting a modern bon Ross feel from this guy?
I like it.
thanks for honestly sharing your learning.
The smell you have from ABS comes from the fumes it produces, which infact are toxic. For 3d printers it's strongly recommended to only print ABS in a closed an ventilated printer and not to be in the same room as the printer. But maybe those are just overly cautious German recommendations :D
Same with pine wood.
Honestly dude don’t give up on it, you can clearly see on the final picture of everything you made that your skill growth was explosively exponential in the last couple of projects.
I randomly watched this video a while ago and it made me want a 3D pen, but I didn’t do much about it because it was a little pricey. Just today I got a 3D pen for Christmas. I’ll be using this video as inspiration, ;) thanks for making it. Wish me luck! 🤗

Your process, the way you deal with setbacks, is something I want to learn from. I usually get really frustrated by setbacks and will try to walk away to cool off. Problem is sometimes I don't come back.

Have you thought of printing on aluminium? It's great heat conductor, so your plastic will cool faster. One more thing: you are not limited to print on flat surfaces bottles, spheres, hell, even structures made with both plastic and paper (which is good idea on it's own
My 10yo son got a 3d printer pen for Christmas. It’s called Mynt3D Super. Theres a pro one that lets you change the temp easier but I guess Santa couldn’t afford that one lol It was intimidating for him so I played around with it instead. I made him a pixelated Minecraft sword. He picked the colors and I brought it to life. He was like “WOW mom! That looks amazing” 😊 Made my day but I have a lot to learn for sure!
The pen also came with a silicone mat with a bunch of shapes and lines and also a plastic “screen” mat thing so you can trace something without catching things on fire and making the plastic easy to remove from the surface. So I printed out a picture of a Minecraft sword, put the plastic screen on top of the paper and basically traced it with the 3Dprinter pen. Turned out quite nice for my first time. This pen opened up a whole world for both my son and I. Thank you for sharing your journey.
u can make spirals, but just whit the pens that come whit a heat control.
also 3d printing FDM filament (any material, but your "hotend" would dictate what you can use) may? be cheaper

Not really, you couldnt make a uniform spiral
Can you use a small fan to rapidly cool the filament?

I think a way to step a level up with your drawings is to draw like 3D printer, where the base of your sketch isn't a sheet of paper but a previously drawn section of a 3D object. It would kinda enable you to draw curved lines mid-air. Takes ish load of skill to think of your drawings in terms of sections, but I think this is the way to go.
You can do that with a normal pen too, it’ll just take a teeny bit of more time
