COOL!
How's it going everyone! It's Devin here with "Make Anything"
and today we got another 3D pen review
Today we are looking at this pen by Dewang
or the Dewang 3D pen, I don't know if that's the name of the pen, of the company, maybe both
Allright so, it comes in this nice box and here's the pen, first thing you get
As you can see the pen is pretty small and compact,
it's about the same size as the "3 Doodler Create"
Allright taking the stuff out
Comes with a little pen stand
One little spool of filament,
so if you are gonna use this pen you probably wanna buy some filament right away
so you have more than just one single color to work with
So what this pen uses is a PCL filament unlike PLA or ABS
like most other pens
and this filament actually melts at a pretty low temperature
similar to the "3 Doodler Start"
but not quite as cold I did tests it out before drawing on my hand
and it does get kind of hot
Definitely not as hot as the other pens
but more so than the "3Doodler Start"
And we got the power cable here
which looks like it's a USB cable
There's no plug here so it's just a USB
which means you either have to connect it to a computer
or you have to have your own USB outlet adapter
So this pen has three speeds which are changed by pressing this top button
and each speed actually changes the temperature as well
to make it work best for that filament
So if you are printing at high speed it will get up to a 100 degrees celsius
but if you are at low speed it'll go down to 80 degrees
So that limits the filaments you can use but it also makes it very straightforward and simple to use
So you don't have to worry about changing the temperature yourself
So, this pen has the forward feeding button and the reverse feeding button
to get the filament out
if you hold forward you can either double click it to keep it going automatically
or you can just hold it and it will draw while you are holding it
Alright so seems to be working
the question is, what do we make?
well, since this is a nice low temperature
filament that lets you draw on electronics and that kind of stuff
I thought I will finally do a 3D drawn phone case
it's pretty much the biggest thing that you guys have been asking for
both with the 3D pen and 3D printer
so today we are gonna make the 3D pen version
of a phone case
Of course we are gonna make it for my phone it's a "Nexus 6P"
Sorry "Apple people"
but the concept is the same
I mean yeah, it's drawing on a phone
Allright so let me get my original case off
Don't need that anymore
So, the folks at Dewang were nice enough to send me some extra filament
so I actually have enough to do this project
So I got some black, some white,
blue and green
So I think I'm gonna make a little abstract nature scene
So let's go ahead and open up this blue to start out
Some people were saying to put the spool around your wrist
to keep it out of the way
so I'm gonna go ahead and
take their word for it and try that out
You feed the filament in the back here by the power cord
and just press the feeding button
So you can hear it's pretty quiet
Definitely doesn't make that clicking
beatboxing noise of the Scribbler
And you can see yellow filament
that I tested out earlier
and we're gonna let that run through until it turns blue
Let's start by doing some water here at the bottom
So as you can see by going around the front and the back
kind of holds the filament in place
even if it's not actually sticking to the phone
So that I'll do!
Allright, so we have the bottom of my phone protected
Well..."protected"
I don't know how protective this filament actually is
but it looks cool
So now I'm gonna reverse out this blue filament
so that we can switch out colors
Stop
Ok
There we go!
Just gonna clip the end,
so it stays nice and neat
And now let's try out this white filament
I like the wrist technique
So it does take a while to switch out the colors
I mean, the filament has to feed all the way through this pen
You know?
Yeah, this filament stay soft for a really long time
it's...
pretty pliable
so you can actually print something and then
shape it with your fingers
and mold it around a little bit
Interesting
So now let's do this top half
Basically, gonna do the same thing by draw on both sides
and kind of connect it, so that is holding on
to the phone
First I'll outline this side
Allright, so know I've drawn all the way around the edge,
and it goes a little bit around the front and back,
So that's gonna hold this print on to the phone
And I don't have to worry about it falling off anymore
Now I'm gonna basically fill this whole top part
with white
And that's why it really helps
that you can double tap this feed button
and you don't have to hold it down the whole time you are drawing
And
the "high speed" option
it's also definitely a plus
when you have to fill a large surface
like this
I'm a pretty patient person,
but that took a long time
But check it out!
Now we've got a nice solid white background
And I was gonna draw some little trees on there
But first I think I'm gonna do a sun
Since we got this round
finger-print thing,
and we got some yellow filament
Yeah!
Let's make a sun
Allright,
You know what?
I was gonna put some trees in the background
but know it looks more like
a little ocean scene
so I think I'll add a little sailboat
Actually I feel like making a sea monster
So we're gonna put a kraken in here
Allright, well by now I used every color I have
except for black
so mind as well throw some little birds in there
You know,
the details make the difference
Allright, there you have it!
I made a pretty cool phone case
and it took maybe a couple hours
but I think it turned out really well
and this Dewang pen is pretty great for the job
it does a lot of things right
so I like that it has the filament on a spool
so I was able to fill in all of this white
without having ever changed the filament
or add more filament
In fact, I didn't even end up using the whole white spool
to fill this up
so that's pretty good!
I also liked to have multiple speeds
which helped my fill it up a little faster
than with maybe the "3 Doodler Start"
which will also be great for drawing on phones
but this one with the multiple speeds
was very nice for that
The special PCL filament that this pen uses
is pretty awesome
It stays soft for a really long time
so if you screw up you can kind of
push things into place
But, because it doesn't harden so quickly
It'll be a lot harder to draw
and straight up into the air
and things like that
So if you trying to actually
do "real 3D drawing"
this pen may be a little tough for that
but if you are drawing onto things like a phone
or... I don't know, whatever:
it's pretty awesome
I just checked in there actually several companies
that sell PCL filament
for 3D printers
So you can buy any 1.75mm PCL filament
and it should work with this pen
and then you get like a giant spool of it
and it'll last you a really long time
Allright, I hope you guys enjoyed that
The "Dewang 3D Pen" it's definitely great for the job
so make sure you guys check that out
I'll have the link in the description
And ah...
until next time
