As a user of 3D printing technology, I was excited to get my hands on the 3Doodler Pro pen, a premium 3D pen designed for creative professionals and hobbyists alike. In this review, I’ll be sharing my experience with the 3Doodler Pro, covering its design, performance, and potential uses.
Design and Build Quality
The 3Doodler Pro has an excellent and practical design, with an ergonomic approach that makes it comfortable to hold while drawing. The pen features several buttons and controls at the top, allowing users to load and unload filament, select material type, and fine-tune precision. The build quality is also impressive, with a sturdy and durable construction that can withstand regular use.
One feature that stands out is the magnetic panel underneath the pen, which allows users to easily check the motors and ensure that the filament is fed in correctly. This is a thoughtful touch that helps prevent damage to the pen or injury to the user.
Performance and Speed
My experience with the 3Doodler Pro has been overwhelmingly positive, with the pen performing well and showing minimal signs of wear and tear. The speeds of the pen can be adjusted, and I found that starting with slower speeds (1 and 2) was more effective for intricate models. However, once I got used to the pen, I was able to achieve straighter lines at faster speeds (5).
The pen comes with a range of nozzles, including a 1.5mm nozzle, which offers thick lines with good consistency. I also appreciate the blue nozzle changing tool and container, which makes it easy to switch between nozzles.
Sample Prints and Uses
The images above show some sample prints I’ve created using the 3Doodler Pro, including my “wonky camera” design. I’ve also included some examples of larger 3D printed models that required intense surgery to fix missing limbs and a failed head on my dachshund dog.
While my creations may not be perfect, I believe that the 3Doodler Pro has the potential to produce much more advanced designs when used by a dedicated artist.
Safety and Precautions
I take safety with 3D pens very seriously, given the potential risks involved. However, the 3Doodler Pro has performed perfectly, and I’ve had no issues or injuries from using it.
Conclusion
Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with the 3Doodler Pro 3D pen, and I believe it’s a great option for creative professionals and hobbyists alike. Its design, performance, and potential uses make it a valuable tool for anyone looking to explore 3D printing and drawing.
Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner, the 3Doodler Pro is definitely worth considering.
