This pen is good for someone that is thinking of getting into 3d printing. It’s the cheaper option but it does the job.What you get:In the box you get a cable (no plug a 5.0v - 2.0a plug is needed).A stand for the pen, instructions, a traceing plastic cover for a screen of a phone or tablet, four different filament colours and the pen itself.Don’t trace over your phone or tablet without the plastic tracer! And put the foam corners on it, unless you want to burn your devices screen.I had trouble getting the filament to stick on the plastic tracer, I found that putting it on the highest setting and letting it sit in one spot for a second to stick before moving the pen helps it. You get four settings,

Had this for a Christmas present with the box of 20 coloured filament. Had to do this review as so many people are getting the facts wrong which I thought to correct for other potential users.1. Great for starters use, it takes a while to warm up on the first use which is normal for a heating element.2. You can use other 1.75mm PLA & ABS plastics as long as they melt at 200-210°. I bought a 1kg spool of grey PLA for £12 on Amazon and ive had no issues at all.3. Instructions are vague but they get you there. Also YouTube videos produced by Polaroid are very helpful (I watched them...all).4. Plastics do give off a smell (like very very faint),

Its actually my sons, but i find it great fun to create objects with him!We have used the app and created some items from the templates, the app is really easy to use and there are loads of things to create.It's powered by USB, we power it from the laptop and use the laptop to find pictures and plans of what we want to create, it warms up quickly and the speeds are easy to adjust, changing the colors is easy one click of the retract button and it ejects the plastic so you can feed in another color.He likes it that much we used all the filament that came with it within a couple of weeks so i have purchased the 20 pack that is on here, loads more colors including fluorescent ones which look cool!Just noticed they have launched a wood version too,

Good value as you get four colours in with the pen. I find the pen quite thick and bulky but I haven’t had any problems with it at all, I think it is brilliant, I have made my geckos a hide but they don’t use it, I plan on making them more stuff as this plastic is perfect for making them stuff as it’s waterproof and probably not toxic? A sunbathing shelf using magnets is my next project.The only downside is you can’t order specific colours unless you buy a huge reel, I will have to order a box of lots of different colours. If anyone knows different, please advise me ?

I have never had a 3d pen before so I wanted something that would be easy to use. Although iv not actually managed to make anything recognizable due to my lack of skill the pen itself is really simple to use. Simply insert filament wait for light and it's ready to use. It comes with a small plastic screen protector so you download the app and trace stencils on your mobile or tablet.

Great fun! My sister loved it!But make sure you buy PLA filament for it, and be careful not to buy the mis-advertised cheap ABS filament. ABS will clog the nozzle (due to PLA requiring lower temperature) and also can given off nasty smells / gases... PLA only and you're good to go!Remember keep you hand steady and moving at a constant speed is key! Enjoy!!

Amazing product thank you amazon and PolaroidWas a gift to my Mrs over during this corona pandemic something to enjoy doingThis is an amazing product absolutely safe and strongly builtWould have been much better if it had an internal battery rather then having the cable on at all timesThank you

bought this for my son during lockdown. hes 12 and mastered it quiet easily and has built several things with it. free hand not through the app.not sure how younger once would manage with it and the tip does get hot.the filament does seem to go along way as well so thats a bonus

Bought as a Christmas gift for a 12 year old. She loved it. Great to see her interested in something other than a gaming device! It can be a bit tricky and demands patience but is great fun once you get going. Can pick up some good value filament packs too if you look around.

Bought for 10 year old but ended up having loads of fun myself. Easy to control, nothing complicated just got to be imaginative and get use to the pen/flow of plastic. Wonderful stress reliever and an alternative to mindfulness colouring books.

Got this as a Christmas present for my son. The whole family really wanted a go. Works well and is good fun. Can see that with a bit of practice you could make something cool. Requires patients and imagination. Great new medium for an artist.

Have been using it quite a lot in the first week and its very easy to operate and working perfectly. It doesn't feel like a quality item, a bit cheap and plasticy, but I am very happy with how it is working.

Bought it to replace a same priced unbranded 3dpen.... omg the difference! Love it, it's simple to get the hang of and ready to go right out of the box. Works with abs and pla filament. I reccomend this :)

We tried a couple of other 3-D pens before this one this one is by far the best and by far the easiest to use 100% recommend great value for money and you can also use different gauges of plastic wire

Bought as a present, the item arrived quickly and looks to be a quality item. I picked this one after a lot of research, make sure to look at the non-branded colour inks/media
