If you fancy yourself an artist, give the world of 3D drawing a try. Now, this term can have a lot of meanings, but in this instance we’re talking about drawing with materials to create physical objects. It’s like holding a 3D printer in your hand, but like a pencil and paper, what you create is a spur of the moment decision.
The 3Dsimo Mini 2 has a primary function as a filament extruder — it squeezes out molten plastic which quickly sets in the shape drawn by the artist. But the 3D pen also includes attachments with the ability to solder, burn, or cut as needed. It has automatic detection and configuration parameters when you switch between attachments, which makes it easy to use for all skill levels.
For the best experience, you’ll need to connect it to a smartphone via a Bluetooth module, which allows you to use the app. The also connects you with tutorials, templates, and even preset material profiles. Those without a smartphone can also utilize the included display to set basic material profiles.
