Go for it! Plus these shapes can make so much more then just blocks. Stay tuned.

You're so welcome! Glad it helps.

:)

Glad you think so! One minute is usually not enough time to explain all the how's and why's. So the full versions are helpful. Especially if you are intending to make it or something like it.

All the patterns I use are here: www.etsy.com/shop/3DPenDen I am not making vases that could hold water yet. However I have made several vase/basket like designs from the two geometric patterns sets (the circles and the polygons) Watch this video that describes the process and also shows ou how to generate your own patterns. How to make the shape you want with 3d pen ruclips.net/video/53HbmQJBcoo/видео.html Here are the links to the 2 geometric sets if you decide you need them: www.etsy.com/listing/970216320/geometric-3d-pen-templates-printable-set?click_key=c7e4348ffa94e741b07d24dbf3c1f03881fc0f48%3A970216320&click_sum=5c2cc0b6&ref=shop_home_active_10 www.etsy.com/listing/984609460/geometric-3d-pen-templates-printable-set?click_key=d96a8b65acfb667b732bb9de10df05d4ff1dc44d%3A984609460&click_sum=7fbba132&ref=shop_home_active_8 Good luck!

Second Yey!!! :)

Congratulations!!!!

Thanks.

YEY!!!

I prefer plexiglass sprayed with matt acrylic finish (don't skip the spray or you won't be able to get it off at all). As it is it is you will need a spatula or palette knife to get it off (and wait until it's cold.) Here are further details: Best work surface for 3d pen ruclips.net/video/QP7YsXWvb8M/видео.html also this may help: 7 things you want from your 3d pen work surface ruclips.net/video/n9RXEH7BAzA/видео.html Good luck.

@@3DPENDEN thank you 😊💌

Yes the veneers are all PLA just different colors. I mostly work exclusively with PLA. But funny you should ask this. I originally got my first pen to make elements for my artwork made from recycled plastic bags only to realize that: NO different plastics WON'T weld together. So I am afraid we are mostly stuck with glue. However some materials bond with PLA quite happily like some fabrics and papers. There is a huge room for further research. I am contemplating a new playlist "3d pen in mixed media" so stay tuned and good luck with your experiments.

This doesn't sound silly at all. The work surface is the most important thing for your success with 3d pen. I use plexiglass sprayed with matt acrylic finish (don't skip the spray or you won't be able to remove the print at all). This video has all the details : Best work surface for 3d pen ruclips.net/video/QP7YsXWvb8M/видео.html Also this one may be helpful: 7 things you want from your 3d pen work surface ruclips.net/video/n9RXEH7BAzA/видео.html

You are so welcome! Somehow it became a standard to sand, prime and paint but there are so many other techniques working with filament colors only that let you create surfaces that you couldn't get any other way. I find those option quite exciting. :)

I totally agree. There are so many heating tools that are helpful for 3d pen prints postprocessing. The trick is to pick the right method for the job at hand. So don't give up totally on your soldering tool because there are moments when nothing else will do. Perhaps there should be a video what to use when? Until then there is this one that explains some of it: How to get 3d pen projects from 2d to 3d - Heat forming ruclips.net/video/KwWeIYqoA-I/видео.html .... But lists are never complete. :)

She sounds like Edna Mode from the Incredibles lol

Funny you should say that. I was very self conscious about my accent when I first started. Then I decided since I can't get rid of it I might as well own it. :)

Would be an honor to be like Edna. :)

The one in the thumbnail is a woodburning tool with a leaf tip. (Walnut Hollow wood-burning tool: amzn.to/36eWr4M ) In the video there are couple of others. Since that video was made I also started using this one: Welding Soldering Iron with Thermostatic Digital-Controlled and LCD Screen Display amzn.to/3Kn8COJ This last one works well and heats up a lot faster then the other ones. Good luck.

Thanks. I would use spray adhesive Super 77 (3M brand or the Scotch brand) that does the cleanest job. You can also use super glue (the ultra liquid formula) but that can get a bit messy looking if you are not super careful.

You're welcome 😊

Thanks. :)

Thanks. :)

I know. It's for the diehards. :)

❤

Glad it was helpful!

Gracias

I will leave selling the pens and filament to others. As for other helpful starter items like patterns for example check out my Etsy www.etsy.com/shop/3DPenDen

Will do. :)

Wow, thank you!

Yea. The play dough makes it way easier to get the shape you want.

I rely on youtube for advice on everything from software to how to change a Dremel bit. Only reason I can do that is because some kind soul put the info out there. So I am just trying to pay back my "education loans" by sharing what I know to keep the system going. :)

:)

My pleasure!

Thanks. :)

Thanks. I made this so people don't give up on their pens thinking it's the pen or their skill that's the problem. Because most of the time it is the surface. I almost gave up initially because of it.

More to come! Sometimes I worry it's not enough time to explain it all the way. But then there is always a link to the full version if people need it.

It's Play-Doh's "Sculpt and mold" clay. Regular Play-Doh works too. However some clays are unsuitable for this type of use. If you need more info watch this one: ruclips.net/video/iHkMDJ8GZEY/видео.html

@@3DPENDEN thanks!

:)

My pleasure!

Wow, thank you!

You are so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment. It's important to me to feel there is an audience on the other side for whom my efforts matter. :)

:)

Hope you enjoy it!

:)

Where???

Glad you liked it!

Glad you like them! I will keep my eye on the volume going forward. I wasn't aware it feels like it's too loud. Thanks for the feedback. It's important to me the audience has a pleasant experience and doesn't get distracted from the subject matter. Several shorts are already cued up but I will watch the volume in the following videos.

I must say if I was your wife I wouldn't let you. Sometimes the plastic residue gets on the iron. I use cheap second hand iron from a thrift store and occasionally clean it by ironing a bunch of paper towels on the hottest setting. Crafting irons get messy. :)

@@3DPENDEN thanks,i will buy an iron only for that.

Something (anything) heavy helps to keep the sheets from warping while cooling.

That's such a ridiculous hypothetical everyone has marble tiles

Anything flat and heavy will do. Marble makes the cooling faster because it's so cold.

You can of course stop at any stage. But this is one way to make the colors blend and close all the holes. :)

That's a really good idea. A lot of sculptures are made like that except using wire armatures instead of 3d pen ones. There is a whole bunch of materials that can be incorporated in the 3d pen projects. I am planning to post some of those "mixed media" projects. Just haven't gone around to it yet.

Thanks.
