A few years back no one even knew about 3d pens, but thanks to Max Bogue and Peter Dilworth who invented this and made the life of creative minds much better. Recently I had experience with 3doodler, which is the world’s first and best 3d pen brand and I was surprised by the results which I have explained in our buyer’s guide section. But before you get into that, let me first give you a short overview that what is 3d printing pen.
Well technically speaking, the 3d pen isn’t like an ordinary pen that we use in our daily life and it neither uses ink but plastic filaments. but yeah you can use it as an ordinary pen and it delivers different results as it allows you to use it in different ways. You might be wondering about it’s working mechanism. No worries, I have explained it down here.
How Does 3D printing Pen Work?
As I mentioned earlier, the 3d printing pen uses plastic to operate. All you need to do is put the plastic filament inside and it will heat up inside the pen as it comes with technology that heats up the plastic filament to an extent that it melts. The filaments come in different colors, you can choose the color of your choice.
The Difference
Don’t compare it with a glue gun, the technology is similar but I must say “The 3d pen is on another level“. The best thing is that you can draw almost everything with it and it works on almost all surfaces. It adds another dimension to your work and it looks real. It’s kinda part of a 3d printer but the difference is 3d printer is controlled by a computer and the 3d pen is controlled by your hands. I mean isn’t 3d drawing pen dope?
As there are thousands of them out there in the market and you might be a beginner, it’s hard for you to make a perfect choice. You’re in the right place. I have compiled a list of best 3d pen 2021 that can help you out. So without further ado! let’s get straight into the 3d printing pen reviews.

Here comes the 3dSimo Basic in our list that is probably the lightest 3D printing pen out there in the market. Don’t Compare it with 3dSimo mini as it’s way better than that one with a lot more benefits and entirely different.
To be really honest, at the beginning I wasn’t even able to set up the pen, but thankfully at the end, I did it. As clear from its name “3dSimo Basic“, it doesn’t come with much-advanced tools and accessories as the pen is designed for beginners.
Other than that, it’s simple to use and delivers awesome results and best for people who are new to 3D drawing world.
The Rechargeable Battery
The best thing is that it comes with a rechargeable battery so you don’t need to work while charging the 3d pen at the same time. I think this pretty great idea that 3dSimo added to their pen.
I saw many 3d pens that work with constant plugged in the charger and 3dSimo basic stand out from its competitors in this part. Other than that, you can use it for 90-120 minutes on a single full charge and you don’t have to wait for long to charge it.
Moreover, it comes with necessary filaments that you can simply put inside the pen, the hardware heats up the filament and you’re ready to get started.

Design
Scribbler V3 package includes filaments of different colors and using the pen was fun. I am not an artwork expert but the basic designs that I tried with it were just amazing.
Moreover, the 3d pen is also available in various different color and according to my views, the light purple one seems to be more attractive. Speaking of its build quality, the design and everything is just on another level.

While using the pen, it was lightweight and easy to operate and it’s pretty easy to change the filament. It works in a proper manner and let me tell you, we faced no hassle. This is probably one of the best 3d printing pens in our list that I have experienced.

3D pens aren’t designed only for adults, kids are also part of it. So we used and reviewed Lay3r 3D pen for 8+ kids and we enjoyed using it as much as kids would do.
Lay3r 3d printing pen is extremely lightweight and easy to handle without any hassle. I must say for 10-12 years kid, handling the pen wouldn’t be difficult at all, not only the kids but people of all ages.
Controlled Heating Mechanism
You might have seen some 3d pens that heat up from outside during the heating process of filaments. Lay3r 3d isn’t one of them as the company added a fan inside that keeps the 3d pen cool during the heating process.
The other best thing about it is that it comes with automatic shutdown technology that helps in switching off the pen when it stops operating.
Although it’s a best 3d pen but i must admit, i am not happy with the size. However, the cooling fan is a good feature but it has the impact on its size.

Best 3D Pen Buyer’s Guide
LED Screen
The LED screen is the most important part of the 3d printing pen as it enables you to monitor the speed and temperature of the pen. As there are many 3d pens out there in the market and obviously, pens with OLED are much better so we recommend buying the 3d pen that has OLED screen.
Nozzle
The nozzle is the part from where the hot liquid flows out of the pen. During creating your designs, don’t touch the nozzle as it’s extremely hot during that time.
PLA/ABS filaments
Filaments are the main thing of the 3d pen that gets inside the pen and melts during the heating process. However, some filaments cause a headache so make sure to open your window or turn on your air conditioner or get toxic-free filaments.
Design
Some 3d pens are enormous which makes your hands exhausted after using it for some time. Always aim for the pen that is super slim and comfortable in hand.
