Ok so I was cleaning out my shelf and found a 3d pen I had from a while back. I think I got it on Woot.com or something like that for super cheap. They go on clearance at places like Michaels and JoAnn craft stores as well. Amazon sells a bunch and recommends this one. Mine is similar, but I don't think it's manufactured anymore.
So what I didn't realize when I bought it is it uses the same filament as my 3d printer. It makes total sense now, but I didn't connect the dots at the time. I put my 3d printer filament in it and it extruded great! which gave me another idea - could I use it to repair, weld or fill a 3d print.
Anyway if you have a 3d print that you want to melt a little more filament onto for repair or aesthetic reasons, these 3d printing pens are a fun and relatively cheap way to go.
