Do you want to revive your author's drawings? Then you need a 3D pen. Using a miniature printer, you can draw toys that will be practically no different from factory products, but absolutely free. Do not believe? Rather, try the possibilities of three-dimensional design at home, and all doubts will fade into the background. With a simple movement of your hand, you will be able to realize the brightest and most original ideas.
What is a 3D pen?
The compact 3D pen is a unique tool for creative creativity that literally draws in the air. According to the method of three-dimensional "printing", 3D printers of cold and hot action are distinguished. In the first case, photopolymers are used as the initial "raw material", and in the second case, a special plastic thread of different colors.
“Magic” pens are especially useful for children of any age for the development of spatial thinking, but adults (especially designers and artists) also will not hurt to master innovative drawing technology in practice. The standard set of the device includes a 3D printer and a power supply for connecting to the mains. Branded plastic thread for the handle must be purchased separately.
How to use?
Not sure how to draw with a 3D printer? It's okay - learning to use the miracle pen for its intended purpose is not difficult. However, this "tool" can be used for domestic purposes. For example, if you need to quickly repair loose plastic parts. In the initial stages it is better to use a 3D pen for beginners.
No complicated manipulations are necessary: connect the unpacked 3D printer to the electric network, wait about 1-2 minutes, until the device warms up, after which you can proceed directly to creativity. Download the plastic rod of the desired color, press one of the two buttons that are responsible for starting the drawing process, and create any colorful compositions that come to mind.
Useful tips for beginners
To draw a 3D pen in the air, you need to buy ABS plastic. If you use various surfaces for drawing, including paper, then the best option is PLA plastic, however it is more advisable to use a laminated coating to prevent molten plastic from sticking to the surface. And most importantly - try not to touch the ceramic nozzle of the device during operation, so as not to burn yourself.
When changing plastic rods frequently, pay attention to the indicator light. Red color indicates that the 3D pen is being prepared for work, green indicates that the drawing process can begin. Using special templates that are available on the Internet, you can portray Dilka or another character. There are no restrictions for the flight of creative imagination. In the process of 3D drawing, you can adjust the feed rate of the plastic and its density (not all models support these functions).
Gadget benefits
A 3D pen draws in real time - everything you draw on paper almost instantly becomes real. You can take the picture in your hands, try it “to taste” and draw on. This process captures from the first minute. Even if at first something unintelligible is obtained, interest in creativity does not disappear. Gradually, the figures will begin to take on sharper outlines and pronounced forms, and the smell of burnt plastic will cease to excite.
Mini printers draw absolutely everything on paper or in the air. It can be either simple pictures or complex three-dimensional models. In any case, it is always very exciting and cute. The handle is comfortable in the hand and has a low weight, which makes it possible to carefully draw individual lines. You can view a detailed overview of the device’s capabilities and a drawing master class in the video on the website, and for more details, see the new article about 3D pens.
