Soyan 3D Pen

 Have you heard of the 3D drawing pen? Well It's a pretty cool idea. With a super simple design It's fairly easy to get the hang of. This particular set came with the pen, power cable, Filaments (colored plastic rods), stencils, and a detailed troubleshooting guide.
  One thing that's important to remember is that the pen needs to get pretty hot to melt the plastic. So you need to be careful as to not burn yourself. It doesn't take very long to heat up and does require a few minutes to cool off.
  The first stencil I tried was a bench.  At first it was a bit hard to get a straight line, but after a while I was able to adjust the speed of the output.  The only thing I'm not too happy about how fragile the pieces created are.
