3D pens printing with glue sticks

Glue sticks

— traditional glue sticks — like those used in glue guns.

3D pens usually differ from such tools with a smaller nozzle diameter and a more uniform supply of adhesive. This contributes to accuracy when working and provides features that are not available for conventional glue guns — for example, the creation of fairly complex three-dimensional structures. At the same time, the handle can also be used in the classical way — for applying glue when connecting various parts. And the glue sticks themselves are cheaper than specialized 3D plastics and are widely sold in stationery stores; at the same time, among such compositions one can find quite specific options — coloured, glitter glue, etc. On the other hand, this material is generally inferior to most 3D plastics in terms of strength and reliability, and therefore few pens are produced for it.
