![MYNT3D Junior2 3D Pen for Kids [2020 Model] Child Safe Low Temperature Printing Pen (NOT Compatible with ABS/PLA)](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5101DwHxMiL._AC_SR160,160_.jpg)
![MYNT3D Basic 3D Pen [New for 2020] 1.75mm ABS and PLA Compatible 3D Printing Pen](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51AKH8A-IHL._AC_SR160,160_.jpg)
I've been using 3D printers for the past three years. I jumped at a 3D print pen a 6-8 months ago just to give it a shot. I'd read about people 'welding' printed parts together with them and thought that could come in handy. I also purchased some small silicone sheets that were supposed to aid me in 'drawing' with the filament.
I found the process of loading the filament and heating the pen easy enough, apart from the fact that I wish there was some way to charge the pen itself.
When it came to using the pen, it's easy to get the filament to come out, but I found it extremely frustrating to get it to do what I wanted. I've seen plenty of videos of people drawing quickly (even through the air) from point to point with pens like these. Of course you need anchor points and such, but they made it look effortless. I found it anything BUT effortless.
I ended up boxing it up and setting it on the shelf until recently when my daughters mentioned they'd seen a video of a 3D print pen and wanted one. We 'dusted it off' and gave it another try with the same frustrating results.
Eventually I got the hang of this thing and I say that loosely. There certainly is an 'art' or a method needed to use this and that starts with being 'SLOW'. If you use silicon mats with small grooves, I've found it necessary to entirely fill the groove as you go as opposed to just dragging the pen along. Without fail if you go to fast it will come loose.
In the end my expectations may have been too high. I was able to make a pair of 'shoes' for my daughter. She is more than happy with them. They look like pink fuzzy slippers to me.

Elevate your imagination
Hold the magic of 3D printing in your hand with the MYNT3D Professional 3D Pen. Now you can use FDM technology in any application varying from drafting and prototyping to spatial learning and three dimensional sculpting. Whether you're an engineer or an artist, the MYNT3D Pen will take your design projects to greater heights.
Works with Nearly Any 1.75mm Filament Under the Sun
We at MYNT3D believe you should be able to use any thermoplastic you wish. ABS and PLA are a given, but what about wood or bronze infused filaments? If it is 1.75mm and melts between 140-230° C, then it will work in the MYNT3D Pen.
Recommended temperatures:
- ABS: 210° C
- PLA: 175° C
- All other plastics: Reduce temperature relative to recommendations for 3D printers
Fast, Slow, and Anywhere in Between
One speed isn't good enough for your car and it's not good enough for a 3D pen either. With the MYNT3D Pen you can crank up the extrusion speed for larger fill in areas and turn it down slow to create intricate works of art. The stepless design lets you dial in the optimal speed for any task you can throw at it.
But wait, there's more
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
Ergonomic shape keeps the controls always within reach and let's you manuever the pen in ways that would be impossible for a larger design. |
The MYNT3D Pen is USB powered so that it can be used with battery power banks (with at least 2A output). Take your projects outside or on the go! |
A temperature mistake with another pen could send it straight to the garbage. With MYNT3D we've got your back with a modular nozzle design that can be replaced in a matter of minutes. |

Customer reviews
This is a great pen. Firstly, all 3d pens are unreliable due to the nature of their design. Thats why so many reveiws express issues. Some part or another is cheap and doesnt hold up. Many are as good as trash when they become faulty because you cant replace the faulty parts. The heating element in this pen is the faulty part. This is my 3rd 3D pen. The other two brands broke and are not servicable. This unit can be taken apart and serviced if need be. 3D pens and printers are a hobby and like most hobbies it can be rather expensive when breakdowns occur. If you're a hobbyist, spending 30 to 50 bucks every several months to keep producing art is really not that much. This pen is lighter than others which makes it seem a little cheap but the features show the quality. Unlike other pens, this one will feed the plastic 2 ways. First, you can hold the button which stops the feed when released or you can double click the feed button and it will continuously feed which is nice for larger areas. The heating range is adjustable in 1 degree increments which is nice for acheiving the appropriate flow and consistency as each plastic is different and use different temps. The gnome house in the picture i attached was made using wood filament. Overall, its a good pen. Ive only been using it for a few days so i can't speak for its longevity, but ive got about 15 hours on it with no issues. Customer service seems to be readily available for any issues you may have. I am pleased with this purchase. I was happy with the other 2 brands i purchased but they just didnt hold up. Hopefully I can update this at a later time with an equally positive review. Happy printing!

First time misfunction was due to a gap between the heating element and the extruded that resulted in filament being pushed out of the heating element, ultimately cracking the housing.
Second, the circuitboard inside bent away from the buttons, making the buttons almost inoperable
Third, the buttons stopped communicating with the drive mechanism, it would heat up but stopped extruding
Still though, this is a great 3D printing pen for art and other uses, it can easily incorporate non-plastic items and it quite versatile in its use. I recommend if you’re willing to spend $60 every 5 months or so.
Great for art but has a limited lifetime
By Sunny S. on July 30, 2022
This pen is great, of the 3D pens I’ve tried, it is the best for art. However, after a lot of use, all have ended up nonfunctional (I would assume due to heat stress). In my experience, they have a lifetime of around 5 months or so with regular use.By Sunny S. on July 30, 2022

There is a learning curve, you will definitely need more filament. I really like that this allows temperature settings for abs and pla. I can make 2 flat objects and then join them at off angles which I really like to create true 3d objects with ease. This of course comes at the cost of it only being as accurate as your hand moves. I suggest starting with the speed at the lowest level. Play with the temperature if needed. I suggest buying a roll of 20$ Pla filament for 3d printers like hatchbox unless you want the color variety. Then buy a 3d pen variety kit, but it will be more expensive. I was nervous about the temperature, but in reality, I can touch the filament as it just came out of the tip. I made a stand as my first project to hold the pen, but it turns out, letting sit flat on the silicone mat worked fine. The fresh pla was hot but wont leave a burn. The speed control, temperature control, and ease of use is amazing. Beware the chord is kinda short, i used it about 4ft from the plug, you may need an extension chord. The box it came in was packaged so nice! You’ll want a pair of tiny precision wire snips to cut off excess drool from your print, since as you pull away it will leave strings. I also got the myint doodle pad which was nice but not necessary to make precise shapes.
I found the prints sometimes cooled and peeled off my surface. Using masking tape helped it adhere better, as is the same with 3d printing. If its an issue for someone, I wonder if some sort of mild heated bed would work, like a beverage heater..?
I find in my use, the nozzle gets covered in the filament as I rub it around, so I bought a brush set from the dollar store and it works perfect to brush off the filament while the tips hot to keep it clean.
I had to switch from red to green and it was very easy to change filament, both by unloading and by just following up. Be sure to read the little manual. I have never got a clog yet. By loading directly, I did get a weird color, with red and green it wasn’t pretty, but I could see this being useful in applications to change colors often and create beautiful effects, although that is likely not recommended since it could cause clogs.
The pen fits nicely in my hand and is easy to manipulate. I was worried it would be big, but it is just right.
Great! I Would Buy It Again
By J.Smith on December 11, 2020
This is so great, I recommended it to my friend and they got it too. I have a 3D printer, but some things are better suited freehand. This allows you to break free of restraints of build plate restraints and allows you to do things that may fail on a printer because you can vary the control yourself, like a vertical standing string.By J.Smith on December 11, 2020
