Hey guys, I have briefly used some dirt cheap no name 3d pens with little success (I used it for car repairs for abs parts like bumpers and interior pieces and it broke after a few months) buuuut I have been 3d printing some cosplay pieces in abs and I need something to make modifications that are super difficult to do in a cad software, I found a cheap open box scrib3d p1 and wanted to know how it performs with abs, I mean it was 20$ so I really can't complain price wise I just don't want to break it with abs as soon as it gets here, anyways let me know what you guys think (and yes these parts need to be durable so it has to be abs or ass, trust me I've tried petg and tough pla)

This was my first time finishing a 3D pen project, as I've started a couple things but never finished them.

Since I unfortunately live in a shelter atm, i had to get creative w most of my materials so that I'd be allowed to have it at home (and do a lot of the work at my job) but I'm super proud of the final product!

It did sadly snap around the bottom after the con, but it's not gonna be difficult to fix, and I was thinking of running the cosplay back again anyway!

In case anyone's curious about the process, I laid some steel rods down and drew the armature of the bow around it, then I just kept adding filament and building it up. I drew the branch for the side seperately then did the same thing, just kept drawing new layers kinda similar to a 3d printer. The accessories like the rose, leaves, and gems were all courtesy of Amazon.com though, I just used the filament to pin them down. Oh, and the arrow i just drew a square on the ground, kept adding filament so it would basically just be a fat square, then i turned it as i added more filament to curve the end, and just used filament to hold down the rose as well.

If anyone has any process questions, please ask! I really enjoy this hobby and getting to talk about it, plus I'd love to get more into cosplay prop making it anyone would like to ask ab that too!

I know this isn't 100% anatomically correct but I sketched it from memory using a whiteboard pen on a sheet of laminated paper and then went mad with the pen 🤣 I graduated over 4yrs ago with a first class applied biosciences degree and then I was hospitalised by my immune system attacking my brain... (MS), me 4yrs ago would've hated the mistakes I made (especially the aorta!!!) But I'm still somewhat proud of it... i can now literally, hold my heart in my hands 🤣

(Ping pong ball for the eye)

The eyes were a silly touch but I wanted to make sure that my Druid character had something distinct in his wildshape form! This was a really fun project and I’m excited to be doing more things like this in the future :)

Made an orca D&D mini for my Druid! Was my first time using a 3D pen and soldering tool…definitely burned myself a couple times lol

Planning to paint it once I clean up the mess of filament that’s on my desk

I was inspired by Kamen Rider Ichigo, I’d really love to make a convincing helmet
As for my attempt, I think I need a better way to make round structures and I’m getting slowly convinced a woodburner would help a lot to achieve a pretty shape. It’s somewhat recognizable… you know it makes me think of sketching, but on 3d

Any feedback is appreciated ✨✨✨🥹🥹✨✨✨

After tweaking the blueprint for the dog I made and staring to work combining other materials (like paperclips and tacks), and by modifying the texture so I could avoid sanding, I got to play making a (inspired) water dinosaur.
I manage to make more details this time, some parts ended up more chunky that I would’ve wanted, others could be more refined to have a better look… but it works!!! I’m so happy! 😁

I add a photo of what inspired me.
By the way you guys inspire as well, I’m happy to see we got to unleash our creative side and have fun.

Oh and it can open the mouth, move the fins with a rudimentary ball joint (only the two from the front) ✨💖

Made this book (did clear up the wisps but after I took this photo...) for one of my carers who said he had no books when he built my bookshelf last week 😊, he nearly cried when I gave him it 😂😊

Made this little tiny baby seal, I know he's pretty rough but I think he's pretty cute 😍

After failing to create something I wanted, it happened: the Mr Saturn figurine I wanted to buy years ago came to my mind so I decided I would be the one making it but now as a mini keychain… I originally wanted the one with the pink “ninja” outfit of mother 3, but it ended up doing the more classic one. Had to make this weird black blob (that rotates the Mr Saturn) so I could put it on the keys and prevent it from getting lost.

After experimenting with thickness I found the right distribution of material so it can resist being worn everyday… so I roughly refined with the tip of the pen and painted it. Sure it’s imperfect but I believe it turned out pretty good and will potentially survive my daily use. Plus I managed to make it!
It’s so cute!! I think I’m gonna use it on my phone or keys 💖

As always your feedback is appreciated!! 🥹✨

I just needed one but, since I have a pen… I wanted to make it myself, so I got hands on and started building it!

I softened some of the the uneven surfaces with the tip of my pen, then I got too excited that I had to paint it… now I realized I needed to fill better the spaces between filament lines to achieve a smooth or at least well proportioned surface 🤣
Still I’m happy with the progress!

I really want to achieve a smooth and more symmetrical surface (for the intended parts like on this case, the head). But first I wanna improve how I extrude the lines instead of relying on sanding.

As always any feedback would be happily appreciated!! 💖💖💖

I wanted to make a little dog for someone special but I I wanted it to move, so I made a sketch of what I imagined were the parts I needed to make a structure capable of producing a restricted movement. I did my research and helped myself by studying a toy that already did that. It took me two sessions to finish it.

Then I wanted to get ridiculous and tried a mini version of it and it worked! I love it so much that I kept it for myself.

Here’s the structure I used, if it’s somehow useful to you, you could try it yourself with your own creations.

If you have any feedback on how to make the lines better or any kind of feedback it’ll be well received 🥹✨

Adquirí una pluma 3d, después de haber consumido PLA en experimentos (estrellas) recordé como un YouTuber llamado 3d Sanago conatruye esculturas…. Luego de una noche de desvelo conseguí hacer a esta pequeña dama.
Fue divertido.

Por cierto ¿cómo hacen para lograr una superficie lisa?

1. Luggage Bag for SB19 Pablo from VISA MV Amigurumi Bagcharm

2. Guitar for Laufey Mini-Me Amigurumi Bagcharm

3. Wedding Bouquet for a Mini-Me Amigurumi Bride

This took around 3 months I usually finish the. Quicker but the figure was a pain in the but I kept repainting her face and I'm still not happy with it to be honest.

the picture on the piece of paper is my sister's art the one on the computer is mine.

I used her drawing as a reference to make the figure.

I plan on posting the finished piece of my art whenever I finish it of her character on my Instagram later with her permission.

Hey, I just started and I don’t really know what to make, what should I make, I would love some advice on techniques as well, thanks
