The 3Dsimo mini is a smarter, smaller 3D printing pen that includes soldering, burning and cutting tools in one package. 3Dsimo mini is running a very successful campaign on Kickstarter to fund production costs.
he 3D pen uses 1.75 mm filament and can draw in a variety of materials, with the temperature being controllable up to 260 degrees Celsius. ABS, PLA, fluorescent, translucent PETG, luminous, HIPS, laybrick, wood-like, thermochrome, carbon, flexible and metal filaments have all been tested with the 3Dsimo mini.
As a soldering iron the pen tip heats up in less than ten seconds to 490 degrees Celsius. The cutting extension looks small but can cut through a variety of thicknesses of polystyrene, Plexiglas, balsa wood and foam. The wood burning attachment is shown to cut intricate artwork in the campaign video, along with doing some plastic welding.
