I haven’t done reviews for a while, but this really did stand out as a fabulous addition to any child and their inquisitiveness, while allowing them to play safely with child friendly tech. This kit went to my sons girlfriends family and will hopefully find itself used for many hours of playtime. I believe it took a while to get the filaments right, but once it was underway, it was fun to use.

The My First 3dPen Kit
My First 3D Pen Kit comes with:
- my first 3D pen.
- a whopping load of 27m filaments in 9 colours.
- rechargeable battery that operates wirelessly.
- user manual with fifteen pages of drawing templates.
- charging/user cable.
The pen is great for all types of keeping children entertained on journeys, at the park, in the garden and actually anywhere, due to the wireless and rechargeable battery. To try the pen out, I just popped the cable into a back up battery charger to avoid having to have it plugged into the wall. This is a ‘want to use it now,’ kind of toy.
Filaments are also available to buy separately as a kit top up option.
It’s simple to use, and with the included drawing templates to get you started, it’s fab. there is a plastic sheet to pop over anything you use as a template, and stops the filaments sticking to any pieces of paper etc.
How Does it Work?
- Pop the Power Button to setting 1 or 2. If the battery is charged, it will start to heat up quite quickly.
- When the light stops flashing, press start/stop to start the loading. Feed the filament you choose into the little hole and press stop when you see it come out of the nozzle. The pen is now ready to use.
- Use the Eject/Temp button to adjust the temperature. The light will show red if you increase the temperature and change to green if you reduce it.
- Put a plastic sheet over the drawing you are going to make, and start making. It might take several goes to get the hang of it.
- The pen goes off on its’ own automatically after about 5 minutes.
What NOT to Do!
- Don’t put the filament out of the back of the pen. Use the eject button to reverse the filament. Pulling might break the pen mechanism.
- After removing a filament, the end of the filament needs to be snapped off before putting it back in, so that it feeds through the pen properly.
- If filaments expand, don’t use them.
