3d Pens- useful?
«

Keep seeing those 3d pens for cheap everywhere, and trying to convince myself they'd be useful for terrain building (window frames? bushes?) although youtube videos make the filament seem pretty sloppy to work with.
Anyone tried this?

I've used a similar product which is used to draw not-lead onto painted glass. It is of high viscosity and little shrinkage. But it comes in a tube with a long narrow nozzle, so it is not really the same thing.

Never used them but i imagine not too good. Better to save for a printer. I imagine it would be like trying to model with a quick setting glue gun. Either go for a printer or try regular modelling techniques.

Useful alongside a 3D printer, to repair some broken pieces or misprints. Can be used for strange organic shapes, Cthulu kind. Or roots/ vines. But not for a full object.

There are a host of cheaper alternatives to a 3d pen for rivets. I deliberated buying a pen at an after Christmas sale but decided not to. The only thing I could think to use it for was vines and I have cheaper alternatives for those too.
