what about using something like glue on these surfaces? or hair spray? or any other cheap things on ever cheaper surfaces.

This looks ultra cool!

My son independently discovered that waxed paper works wonderfully. It allows patterns to show through, plastic sticks to it well, but also releases decently. It can be reused several times before being discarded and is SUPER cheap.

there's this amazing 3D pen artist on yt, and his channels name is SANAGO. He hs this really high quality pen that he makes and sells, and was hoping you would review it. He uses only his pen in all his videos, as well as another one he makes and sells. PLEASE REVIEW THIS PEN.

Yes!!! Thank you soo much for the chart!

They make heating pads for gardening or reptile enclosures. Would putting one of these under the surface help with adhesion by creating a makeshift heated bed?

The best mat would be to print PLA on a kapton-tape plastered surface in my experience. Silicone also works really well but I like it when it sticks just a little bit so that the workpiece doesn't move.

I got the 3dmate $40 mat and I'm loving it so far!!

I used to draw straight onto the cardboard box my 3D pen came in lol. It worked pretty well.

I like to use tracing paper for my designs. It sticks really well, but also peels off without taking anything with it. I really like tracing designs, so tracing paper is perfect! The only downside is, it's disposable, and it warps it a bit, so I don't know if you'd want to use the same piece of paper too many times. I'm pretty sure my fillament is PLA, ('Cause it sticks really well.) so I don't know how ABS would work on it. Thanks for the informational video! If I ever want to get a mat, I now know what to look for!

love your videos, makes me wanna get a 3d pen of my own. :)

You can try printing on a phone screen protector. For small prints it’s perfect(for pla). It’s clear, and you can bend it a little to pop of the prints.

I literally draw on my phone / tablet screen using it to display reference images (I have glass screen protector and the pen I use does not have a metal tip.... wouldn't try it with a metal tip but as long as you don't overheat your phone with a pound of molten plastic it seems to work great without any obvious damage to my phone.

thanks!

What about clear tape?

@AnkitSharma-fk5vs

Yeah you're right it works

Don't fret about transparency for tracing. You can always use a art projector for tracing, an overhead projector for larger more detailed art tracing, or a digital projector for more flexible applications like object mapping. Laser projectors are focus free and can be used on oddly shaped surfaces which can work well with the 3D printing pens. I wonder if there are 3D printing brushes for adding varying thicknesses and textures to the widths of a stroke? That would be cool.

i use blue painters tape on a plexiglass, with PLA. i started with a cd case, but it melted (this was when i was using my 3d printer.) i'm still learning how to use the pen and 3d printer filament.

So far in my testing at home the ultimate surface ( if you don't need to see reference images thru it) would have to be 25u stainless mesh. It's not something everyone has around, and I suspect any really fine mesh metal screen will work similarly..... it has enough texture to give bite with a bit of squish on your first layer pass, but the mesh is too tight to let it seep I and fuse to the screen, and when it cools it actually comes really close to self releasing! (I just stretch a peice over an old picture frame and it's like having a flex bed when it comes to releasing)

Hi, what I use with my kids to draw the design on squared paper then use wide cellotape to cover it. While heat damage it you still can remove from it easily and reusable a few times. This way the risk of slipping off your design is gone unlike with transparent thick materials.

I honestly like bluetape, it works well, and it comes in a roll so i wont worry about using it

Loving my Mynt3d Pen pro it uses 1.75 mm Filament and that is best as the stick to 3doodler gets stuck easily.

i found perler bead paper work good for me

Can you make a video about smoothing tools like mini Iron? Or how to make a sphere?

Try straight PEI. You should be able to get a 3mm thick sheet on Amazon for about the same price as borosilicate, and it's mostly transparent. (It's fairly yellow.)

Can you do a video on the best long lasting reliable 3d printing pen

You could also try coating whatever surface you want to use with hairspray or a glue stick?

Would it be possible to print out your own, then use an adhesive spray to protect it from fusing?

So given it looks like this video was made over 3 year ago, I just looked up that 3 dollar baking mat. In the time this movie was made to 07/04/2023. The price has increased to 17.99 but with 44% off today it’s 9.99. So in 3 years this has gone up 14 dollars. I can’t imagine what the overall cost to all materials used in this hobby has gone up.

yay more 3d pen

abs produces toxic fumes and should be used with a respirator and/or a serious ventilation system, pla is pretty much nontoxic. pla does not warp significantly when cooling, abs warps all over the place.

ABS does not decompose in bright sunlight as it is mineral in composition. PLA is Poly Lactic Acid, and is organic, it decomposes naturally over a few years, and degrades rapidly, relative to ABS, in sunlight. I live in Queensland, Australia, known as the Sunshine State, and I can attest that PLA degrades very fast when left in a hot car in the sun. Colours fade quickly, and the PLA becomes fragile. ABS outlasts PLA but I don't use it at all now, for the same reasons as Devin stated.
