I bought this, not really for its intended purpose but that made me aware of the fact that it uses a non standard filament size, which I did not notice before I bought it, and I wish I had.
I needed to 3D print a large object, and the object would not fit on my 3D printer. I sliced the object up into 8 sections, and then I 3D printed each piece.
I then used this, with the exact same filament I used to print the parts, to weld them together to make a single larger part.
It actually worked, surprisingly well, except for one thing. This uses a 3mm filament. Standard printer filaments are 1.75 or 2.85. This means standard filament is too small to really be pushed through the way the pen is designed to push it. I was still able to push it through manually but it was really inconvenient.
So, if you want to use this with only the filament that comes with the pen, or want to only use it with filament you buy from 3D doodler, then great, this may work great for you.
However, there are lots of affordable multicolor filament packs available here on Amazon for 3D pens. They are based on 1.75mm printer filament and will not work with this pen. There are also lots of affordable pens available that work with 1.75mm filament.
Just be aware that if you buy this pen, you will not be able to use standard printer filament sizes.
