3D Pens
« on: November 10, 2017, 10:27:27 pm »

  Just above the grinder in the Lidl brochure is a 3D pen at the same price. Comes complete with 30m of filament. No idea what you would use it for, but looks fun.

I eat my peas with honey,
I've done it all my life;
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps 'em on the knife.

A 3D pen will do that, and more. Looking at youtube vids it looks like you might need to create your lines on another surface and then glue them. However, I have no idea what a suitable glue would be, or what materials the 3D pen plastic will adhere to. You could look at the manufacturers of # Doodler (shown in the vid) and ask them
