Models have adjustable speed and temperature, and come in different nozzle sizes.

3D printer pens have come a long way since their introduction roughly two years ago and China makers have made significant improvements in terms of functions and ease of use.

In this selection, models have adjustable temperature, which is critical when users want to switch to another filament that requires a different melting environment. Speed constraints are also relaxed with some models having up to five speed levels. Nozzles come in different sizes, measuring anywhere from 0.4 to 0.7mm in diameter.

In terms of filaments, ABS and PLA are the standard but photopolymers are a welcome addition. Temperature and speed are often displayed on a side screen. The lightest model in this selection weighs just 55g, making it easy to hold especially for drawing in mid-air.

Here are six models handpicked by our Market Analysts for representing the current trends in 3D printer pens.

Five speed levels

JER Education Technology Co. Ltd’s model RP800A-8 3D printer pen has five speed levels, which can be adjusted using the two buttons on one side. Speed is displayed on the OLED screen. The model suits 1.75mm ABS or PLA. Custom colors are welcome. FOB price is $30 to $59 with an MOQ of one unit.

Uses cool ink

Instead of using ABS or PLA filaments like its counterparts, the model Polyes Q1 3D printer pen from Nanjing Baichuan Xingyuan Laser Technology Co. Ltd utilizes cool ink, which prevents burns. The 3D pen adopts photopolymers that harden easily when exposed to a blue LED light. The ink comes in different colors. Designed for children, the model features a safety switch, which protects the eyes against the LED light. The light will automatically turn off when the pen reaches above ground level.

0.02mm tolerance

The model LYP02-3-0158 3D drawing pen from Shanghai LY Industrial Co. Ltd is compatible with 1.75mm ABS or PLA filament. It has adjustable heating temperature, which is 210 to 235 C for ABS and 160 to 210 C for PLA. Rendering precision is 0.02mm. The unit runs on 12V, 2A input. It weighs 65g. FOB price is $10 to $30 with an MOQ of 100 units.
