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.
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 :)
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.
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 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 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
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
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
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 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.
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.

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 🤣
it's all very clear and thorough, thank you so much for this comparison!
Thanks for watching!
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!

This is a really great review. Super informative. Well done!
Thank you!
What about changing out the nozzle or fixing clogs?
Thx- doing with the advanced scrib for my kid.😊
Could ypu try the sanago pen?
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
Very welcome!
Great review. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the info
What would be best to make a witch dock out of? Not to easy heat down after a while. My wife dock broke so I wanna make something creative
is the scribe a clone of the Sunlu SL-300? looks almost the same...
Great video. Did you reviewed a korean Sanago 3D pen yet?
Not yet!

Its a stepless speed slider switch
Thank you... thank you... thank you for this comparison!
You are so welcome!
Bought one using your link thanks for the great review
☺️ thank you
Thank you! Great video :)
Glad you liked it!
This was very helpful since my niece really wants one of these for Christmas.
Glad you enjoyed!
Was watching this expecting these to be like all more than $100 but like, mynt pro is a steal damn
Cheers, thanks for the amazon links
Thanks for stopping in!

I wouldn’t recommend using regular PLA. I wonder if you can return/exchange for the 3Doodler flow!

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!
Is the mynt super and SCRIB3D good for left handed?
Yes I find both comfortable as a leftie! I like the wider grip personally but that’s individual preference :)
@@everythingSTEMoh! Another leftie!!
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.
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!
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.
I just Bought for my Daughter for Christmas 🎄

Mine haven’t had an issues yet!

Test of 3D pen in 1/4 hour without any test of 3D pen :))))
Each pen has its own review with a full demo - enjoy :)
guessing this person has never heard of Audacity... Can't even fix that annoying buzing or static sound.
On Aliexpress one similar to the scrib is $5
Thank you!! Great review!
Glad it was helpful!
