Re: N and 3D pen!
Fascinating. I've looked, watched and waited to see what can be achieved with these pens. Have you found any operations which can be performed with the pen but couldn't be done with a 3D printer and computer driven laser cutter. I can definitely see some parts, particularly scenic or non functioning details being more easily produced. The rivet counters amongst us might probably like to know if there are different sized nozzles and what diameter do they go down to.

Re: N and 3D pen!
Thank you!
I believe the nozzle is universal with 0.7 diameter

Re: N and 3D pen!
Oh they will be disappointed, 0.7mm means a 2.8inch rivet in 4mm scale, I doubt they didn't even use them that big on the Titanic. They'll just have to carry on hitting the metal on the reverse side with a hammer and blunt nail.

Re: N and 3D pen!
Then it's better to use adhesive rivets ... I think.

Re: N and 3D pen!
Very good. What glue is used to fix the paper design to the 3D material?

Re: N and 3D pen!
I used cyanoacrylate glue, but it is possible to transfer the design directly to the PLA using laser prints and acetone.
