3D Pen RP500A with PLA Filament - Robocraze

3D Printing Pen

Bring creative ideas to life with the 3D Printing Pen RP500A, a handheld 3D drawing tool designed for beginners, students, artists, hobbyists and makers. Unlike a conventional 3D printer that requires a digital model, this 3D pen lets you create shapes, patterns and freehand designs directly by controlling the flow of molten filament. It supports 1.75mm PLA and ABS filament, making it suitable for a variety of creative and prototyping applications.

The RP500A features convenient filament control and adjustable extrusion speed, giving users better control over how quickly material is deposited while drawing or building a structure.

Its sealed nozzle and robust gearbox are designed to support reliable, clog-resistant operation. The pen can also be used for creating decorative models, classroom activities, prototypes, 3D artwork and repairing compatible plastic prints.

For beginners, the lightweight handheld design makes experimentation simple, while the included USB cable and 3D pen stand make setup and storage convenient. When working with the heated nozzle, appropriate safety precautions and adult supervision are recommended for children.

WORKING:

The 3D pen works on the principle of extrusion. The plastic filament is fed to the heating chamber, the molten plastic is pushed out through the extruder nozzle. The heating is done with the help of electrical power. When you draw with the 3D pen it extrudes heated plastic which instantly hardens into a solid structure. Therefore, this feature allows you to draw any 3D shape possible. 

Filaments used in 3D Pen are polylactic acid (PLA) acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA), thermal polyurethane (“TPU”), that when heated turns into liquid instead of burning which makes it reusable and easy for modeling purposes. You can also adjust the speed of the plastic coming out of the tip for drawing and filling purposes.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

• Recommended to supervision the kids while working with 3D Pen
• Insert the filament only once the 3D Pen is heated to its said temperature
• Do not touch the nozzle of the 3D Pen with bare hands
• Pause and pull the pen when completing one filament structure so that the filament doesn’t sag down as soon it loses contact with the pen and breaks the structure.
• Avoid pushing out too much filament making note of the speed of hand movement as well as the timing of pressing the button releasing the filament.
• Ensure the filament is not kept in the mouth, recommended to supervision the kids while they are working with 3D Pen

APPLICATIONS:

3D pens can be used to

• Make various 3D designs on paper or on top of any other shape, you can even draw freehand in the air
• Help artists make better art pieces
• Repair broken prints (3d Pens can “weld” plastics together)
• Create 3D prototypes of products
• Doodling
• Smart classroom to enhance learning
