Good for my 8yr old daughter who loves craft and art. She is so happy about this, easy to use and it’s safe to use. Even me I love using it to create a master piece!

My grandson absolutely loves it. He's looking forward to making his next project. His younger brother also enjoyed making something with help from his parents. He was surprised being able to draw in the air to make something 3D. I only wish that I could have bought extra refills to extend the fun but Best Buy doesn't offer any refills but I was told I could find them at another store in town. I bought the last 2 in the store so they are obviously popular so refills would be wise to carry. The last time I bought an item like this, it was at Barnes and Nobles and they carried refills so that grandson had lots of hours of fun. Please keep up the good work improving on these 3D pens as I will probably be buying more for other grandchildren.

excellent introduction to the world and concept of 3d printing. I'm not sure about most 6 year old's but my 10 year old Granddaughter picked up the concepts quickly.
her biggest issue is having enough filament for her.

A neat introduction to the 3D pen game, but not really an efficient product. My girls 10-9 struggled to get started with these. It's hard to change colors and to know how much you have still in the pen. Not really the best and i'm sure there are better ones out there. They love them and have fun with it. But i'm not impressed.

It took a second to get the material to warm up and start coming out. But this is definitely a cool gift for kids (and adults) to get creative. I bought it for my son and it gives us something to work on together!

Originally I purchased this to try out what a 3d pen was and I’m an adult. It is the cheapest you can get from 3doodler. This 3doodler don’t burn you as it is made for kids to make 3d projects but I loved it. Battery last for up to 20 min to 30 min. No need to have it plugged like the other pens. The sticks are gonna run out like crazy but just buy in bulk if possible on the websites. That be the only downside sin not cannot use any other filament but the one that the manufacturer makes which is the eco one.
