Thank you for reading and for following along in 2022. This month’s question is, on what home project would you use a 3D pen?
It is close to the Christmas day and I guess the 3D pen could be a perfect gift for my little brother. He is always interested in the technical products and so am I. I think it would be fun if we could create a set of chess with the 3D pen together. And he could enjoy playing the 3D printed chess with families later.
i’d use it to make some sketches of a fence for my lawn
I have always wanted to try making a lamp shade with a 3D pen!
Do you remember when you were a kid, dunking string in glue and wrapping it around a balloon. Popping the balloon left you with a perfect ball made of hard string! Now, Imagine that made with a 3D pen and suspended around an LED Edison bulb!
My nephew is two years old and he enjoys reading and collecting numbers and letters shapes and I believe that gifting this D pen for Christmas (From santa) to him would help him become creative in drawing 3D out of a 2D drawn letters and numbers. Then he can create 3D shapes of a number of letters and numbers
Last, Merry Christmas Gavin!
Always inspiring and great announcement about the CPD courses. Thanks
Would love to create some little toys using 3D pen with children! Happy holidays
If I had the opportunity to use a 3D pen, I would use it to create custom home decor pieces. For example, I could use it to design and make my own wall art or create unique figurines to display on a shelf. I could also use it to customize and add personal touches to everyday household items, like designing a custom mug or adding details to a plain picture frame. The possibilities are endless with a 3D pen, and I would love the opportunity to get creative and add some personal flair to my home.
I would love to use the 3D pen with my kids and teach them how to use it for creating small but beautiful structures.
I would love to enter the contest to win a 3D pen! If I were to win, I would use the 3D pen to create custom decorations for my home. I have always been interested in interior design and I love finding unique ways to personalize my space. I think a 3D pen would be a great tool for creating custom artwork or decorations that really reflect my style and personality. I am also always looking for new and creative ways to repurpose or upcycle items, so I think a 3D pen would be a great tool for making small repairs or modifications to household items. Thank you for the opportunity to enter the contest, and I am really excited to see what I can create with a 3D pen!
I think you could make some cool Christmas ornaments with the 3D pen
I would use a 3D pen to make custom gifts for friends and family. This could be something as small as a personalized keychain or something more elaborate like a piece of jewelry.
I’m trying to expand my business in creating key chains and I’ll probably use it for creating some fun art works, or puzzles.
I would love to design a gingerbread house with that pen!
I am thinking of a simple wall hanger for photos of my dog would be an easy start.
Very interesting concept in the TED Talks. Crowd sharing could reduce cost of freight and reduce emissions but may be harder to implement than the video implies. Truckers are usually paid by the hour so stopping to pick up someone else’s load doesn’t provide them much incentive. They are also typically paid by the hour on the return trip to haul an empty truck so perhaps if that data was available and you could ride share the return trip there could be huge efficiencies to be had.
