Thanks for a REAL human made review of these things. I saw a few other videos about pens, but they looked like useless advertisements put together by AI. I know YT algo kinda sucks promoting smaller channel content at times but I do appreciate this review.
The MYNT3D pens have the ability to keep extruding without holding down the button. You just have to double press the extrude button. Same with if you want to unload the filament.
Great job on this review. I was leaning towards one pen that happened to be in your review. But based on the features explained, I am choosing a different pen that was also in your review selection. Very much appreciate info.
At 6:20 when you're talking about toggle switches, do you mean that they only toggle between on and off? Or are they sliders that give you an adjustable temperature range? Because toggle switches only toggle between two positions (1/0, on/off or A/B), so I'm confused about whether these actually have an adjustable temperature range or not.
thank you so much for this review! it was super helpful -- I had the polaroid draw for 6 years (AMAZING pen) but was super sad to find out it had been discontinued so this helped me find the replacement :)
The review was great! I don’t know much about pens so this is could probably just be me nitpicking, maybe they’re all just the same in this sense but I wanted to know which one wasted the most amount of paint or which one used up less, if they have batteries, how long to charge them for or if they use cable, which one had the longest cable to connect to an energy source and also which one may have a wider tip vs which one had a smaller, more narrow tip for smaller details
@@everythingSTEM , the biggest complaint all over the net about 3Doodler is that it uses a proprietary filament size that is far more expensive than the commonly available filament that nearly all other brands use.
The description of how to use the Mynt3d super is inaccurate. If you press the button once, you will have to hold it for the filament to come out the whole time. If you double click that button it will continuously flow.
I was wondering about this for the Mynt3d Pro as well. I found an unboxing video showing the instruction booklet for it, and it gives similar directions as you describe for the Mynt3d Super flow control. That capability seals the deal for me in deciding which one to get.
I bought the Mynt3d PRO but the filament extrusion doesn't seem to have a consistent speed when I use it. it goes a certain speed for a second or two, then accelerates for a moment, then goes back to the previous speed and keeps doing so in cycles
@@everythingSTEM I asked on Amazon and in two days I got answers from 2 other people who bought it and had the same issue, so I returned it. Now I bought a Scrib3D Advanced, very similar in features
Is there one that just pauses (at least momentarily) when you stop extruding? I have the Scrib3d, and it retracts quickly and immediately after you stop extruding, so you can't start and stop readily with it. Also, anticipating when the filament will actually start extruding again is a (messy) guessing game. Reason for use is using the pen to fill some small holes in models for indicator dots, each with a different color inside. The volume in each hole is very small (like 2mm diameter and depth).
I think if I were to buy one of these, I’d go with the Scrib3D P1! It’s affordable, has full LCD temperature and filament control, uses the “press once and go” system by default, and it’s the quietest of all of them! As someone who has never used a 3D pen before (but would most definitely like to give it a shot someday), it seems like the best option out there! I’ve actually been looking at getting a 3D printer, but the amount of space that one of those requires makes it literally impossible to fit in my small apartment. These pens are not only FAR cheaper, but far smaller as well, and they come with the advantage of not requiring a computer to use (as long as you’ve got a lot of patience and a willingness to learn). So one of these would be much better for me than a 3D printer would!
Dont make the false assumption that you can do with a 3D Pen what you can do with a 3D Printer. These are two different tools for different applications that just happen to both use PLA wire filament as a base material. Also, 3D Printers came down in size massivly. Just look at the Bambu Labs A1. It is tiny. And Bambu Labs is famous for their out of the box working printers. You dont have to be an engineer anymore to use a 3D printer. A 3D pen is more of an artistical instrument, more suited to do freeform sculpting. It is like a normal pen to a normal printer: The printer can do it faster, more precise and most importantly more repeatable, but the pen can do whatever you can come up with but it is your skill on which the outcome depends and the outcome is unique and a little different every time.
@@Medievalfan94 Yeah, I just got it a few days ago, and I learned that quite quickly. It’s not a problem, though, as art is the main reason I bought it (and to learn how 3D printers work in general before I get an actual 3D printer)! I know I’m not going to make anything serious with one of these, and that’s fine by me.
@@mbcommandnerd Get a Bambu 3d printer, you'll love it! I went from knowing nothing about 3d printing last year to buying a Bambu X1C and printing polycarbonate and other high temp plastics (much more difficult than PLA) - in the space of about a week! An A1 or A1 mini will complement your pen really well and you'll absolutely love the things you can do with a 3d printer!
I received a 3Doodler Create+ for Christmas and I’m fairly disappointed about the proprietary material. Did you test it with 1.75mm PLA to see what would happen?
@@everythingSTEM That one isn’t available in my country, only this one and the starter. I’m wondering if the 2.85mm regular PLA strands would work any better, I really can’t imagine using this at all after the included strands are gone at the price that they sell them. :/
I used the link in your video to purchase, but i sent it to someone that has an anazon account. I hope you get a 'spiff' on the sale, because i really eanted to support your channel. It was a great review. Thank you.
Thank you for your review. I just went with the scrib 3d advanced printing pen they are going for 34.99 on Amazon ,but still not sure if it right for kids
@@blizz1313for young kids the 3Doodler start + is your best bet. No hot end it’s completely safe. Here is my review video on that pen: ruclips.net/video/SR3Gt_sVIlU/видео.html
I got the Scrib3d (light blue pen) for my 10 year old. The stencils are so simple for him to use; it really doesn’t get as hot as I expected. Absolutely recommend. 🎉 great review!!!! 🎄🤎
I’m a little confused, your link to the kids best pens are ones you have to press and hold. I’m assuming their hands would get fatigued as yours did. Is there a pen a child could use with a push start and removable cord ?
@@everythingSTEMhat is the difference between kids and the adult version pens? I was thinking of getting the scribed3d p1 for an 8 year old would you recommend this or do you think a kids is necesary
I recently bought the scrib3d p1 due to the price and it having more reviews and bought more recently on Amazon. I was going to buy a more advanced one but then I realized that they have some really weird disadvantages or seemed expensive to be expensive.😅 My ears are also sensitive due to being in band. And the pen has more temperature control than the other cheaper ones. Hopefully it's small enough for my hands. 😂
Do you have a micrometer? I suspect the 3doodler is using 3mm filament (2.85mm) and if so that is available on a lot of websites in spools for large 3D printers… Also VERY good review + comparison of these pens. I watched other videos and they were just shilling the pens and not giving useful info. They basically said, “here’s a 3d pen, it’s great, it’s a great option to buy… now on to the next pen.” 😂😂😂 If I had to give a point that could be better, you need to work on your camera nerves. You kept halting and stoping and starting speaking. If you had someone there to look at like you were explaining this to them instead of a camera, that often helps with this camera nerves. It’s why there are so many channels that are a duo or have multiple people on them.
The more I watch videos on advanced 3D pen techniques, and practice those techniques, the more it seems to me that the pen really doesn't matter so much. The pen is only a dispenser, and the results are almost entirely a balance between the type of plastic you use and the skill or technique of the user. My personal preference are the MYNT3D (pronounced like "Mint 3D"), because not only do they give the option of push to extrude, or continuous flow, but also because of their low prices whenever they are on sale, as 3D pens tend to jam or break over time, and eventually repairing will not be possible. Low price point means cheaper replacement, as well as being able to use multiple pens to work with multiple mixed colors in some of the more advanced techniques (like braiding in three different colors, or modeling something that looks like it has "twisted pair" wiring in two different colors. Having an analog speed control also allows for easier control of line thickness, but the same can be done with any pen given enough practice, by simply changing the speed at which you draw or move your pen.
Thanks for a REAL human made review of these things. I saw a few other videos about pens, but they looked like useless advertisements put together by AI. I know YT algo kinda sucks promoting smaller channel content at times but I do appreciate this review.
Thank you ☺️
It's always best to see a review by somebody who has actually used the products. You knocked this review out of the park. Kudos.
The MYNT3D pens have the ability to keep extruding without holding down the button. You just have to double press the extrude button. Same with if you want to unload the filament.
Good to know!
I keep wondering why you don't just pronounce it "mint 3D" instead of spelling it out every time.
@@chrinamint never thought about it being MINT 🤣
@@everythingSTEM 🤣
Thank you for the review, really appreciate the work put into it!
What about changing out the nozzle or fixing clogs?
I was looking for one to fuse my 3d prints and make it a cleaner seam that would be filled thanks for making this vid

Hi
How are you
thank you so much for this review! it was super helpful -- I had the polaroid draw for 6 years (AMAZING pen) but was super sad to find out it had been discontinued so this helped me find the replacement :)
So glad you enjoyed it!
is the scribe a clone of the Sunlu SL-300? looks almost the same...
The review was great!

They all need to be plugged in and they all use the same amount of material, the new 3Doodler Flow you can buy different tip sizes :)
@@everythingSTEM Ah I see! Thank you!
@@everythingSTEM , the biggest complaint all over the net about 3Doodler is that it uses a proprietary filament size that is far more expensive than the commonly available filament that nearly all other brands use.
Thank you for this nice nice comparison review. I got the MYNT3D Super for my kido.
This is a really great review. Super informative. Well done!

Super informative and great format, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Could ypu try the sanago pen?
So nice, clear to the point, and she explained the pens very well. 😊
Thank you!! Great review!
Glad it was helpful!
Which one do you recommend for overall accuracy and durability?
Does these support TPU?
I bought the Gembird 3DP-PEND3C-01....it supports TPU as i have tested it.
Thank you so much for this review, it explains everything I was looking for and it made it so much easier to choose the right one for me!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy your new pen!
How well does it stick to for instance bake clay? i’m wondering if I could make like a cast mold by using this
Appreciate the reviews 🧐 How hard/easy is it to burn yourself with these? Do the thinner pens get appreciably warmer in long sessions?
I haven’t found that the body of the pen gets too hot. Just don’t touch the tip.
Thanks for a nice review, it was helpful.
Bought one using your link thanks for the great review
☺️ thank you

Does the doodler flow require the proprietary size also?
I don’t have the flow but looking I like it looks like it uses the standard PLA which is great 👍
It uses standard 1.75mm plastic.
Is there a model you recommend that is for professionals? Since you said none of these are on the highest level?
The new 3Doodler Flow is great - I just posted a review. The MYNT pro is also a great option!
