Hello Everyone Im Lloyd And Welcome Back To

my channel Today we’re going to be reviewing something brand new. This is the new 3d pen from Gtech. They’re a company from China that usually specializes in low-cost stuff. One of the things that they really got into was 3d printing. More recently they’ve been doing a variety of different 3d pens now one of the things I like about Gtech is they have the lower cost that you see from products straight from China.

A Lot Of The Products Are Actually

pretty decent and a big part of that is because GTac is a pretty big company, but they reiterate and iterate network and they actually improve. So I was talking to one of their reps and they said hey do you want to try out one of our pens and I thought you know what I’ve worked very little. a 3d pen This could be fun, let’s go ahead and take it apart and see what’s in there So um In the packaging it is a fairly nice box. I got some instructions right on the package um a little bit of choice of colors anywhere. I’ve looked they’ve only had the one color.

They Have An Older Style Pen.

This is the newer one and this is the one we’re going to be opening up today the box itself is robust. It’s a nice decent box. You know that I’m always a sucker for packaging inside. There is the 3d pen.

The Pen Itself Has A Little Display That

you can use to set pla and abs. When you first power it on this button will let you switch between the modes. These two will push out and pull back on the filament that little screw there. I. believe allows you to loosen the head so that you can get in there and replace it and it runs off of.

I Think It Was 2 Amps

Us and 5 volts UsB micro and the filament goes in there. This doesn’t use proprietary filament. It’ll take any 1. 75 millimeter filament that you can feed it inside the box. You’ll find this what I liked about this cord or what I do like about this cord with this kind of pen is it’s lightweight.

These Pens Are Really Light And

if you have one of these where it’s not flexible and it’s not light. It’ll actually pull the pen and knock it over. This is your little pen stand These I love these are really cool. They are little finger guards. You can wear that make it so that when you’re printing you can touch it and they’re silicone so.

They Absorb Some Of The Heat,

a standard volt or a standard charger. They give you a bunch of test filament to work with and a user manual. Last thing I did find in. Here was two things. One is a sheet of plastic that you can draw on and then some little designs to kind of go through and draw the truth is these designs aren’t very good for a 3d pen.

I Mean That Is Tiny Like Youre

not going to actually be able to draw that with the 1.75 millimeter 3d printing and of any kind, but still it’s something good to start with Also I’ve noticed that these don’t match this in terms of a lot of the colors that are in here. Some of them are close, but so if you’re OCD and you want to match the picture perfectly that’s going to be tough. So a bunch of different types of filaments both pla. This does support both Pla and AbS, which is actually not that common and in here is the instruction manual low temperature version and room temperature version.

This Is The One For Kids That Runs

PCl. The one that we bought is Pla and AbS is what’s supported it’ll tell you to plug it in it isn’t wireless so it’s got to stay plugged in it. ‘s got an LCD screen a speed control and i’ll kind of go through this after but it functions in two modes. You power it on and then you set Pla or Abs here and hit that button that’ll set this to start heating up and i’ll show you the process from there. You can use this to feed the filament through and this to reverse it back out This is once you push.

It It Goes And Then You Have

to hold it in to stop it and they don’t really describe a lot of that in the instructions they just kind of say this is unload. This is load but just be aware apparently okay, so they say this is the temperature fine tuning Button, but it’s actually the speed control and the temperature so it’ll move slower like the little motor was and it goes at a different temperature. When you hit that button and that’s all they show you so they show you a little bit of an angle and they don’t tell you anything else so that’s everything that comes in the box with this 3d pen next let’s sit down We’ll try to create a house. I’ll build something interesting and let’s see how this pen works more importantly a lot of these low-cost pens. After five or six minutes, let’s see how the Gtech one holds up when you get your pen first thing you’re going to need to do is heat it up so we’re going to attach the power like so and you’ll see this little guy here.

When I Push This Itll Let Me Switch

between Abs and pla we’re going to test a whole bunch of different filaments and see how well. This pen holds up. I’m going to start with pla as it’s the safest and then hit this button now that the temperature’s been set. It’s going to slowly increase itself and it increases pretty quickly. You don’t want to let it sit unattended for too long.

It Does Have A Sleep Mode So If

you leave it there for a while it’ll eventually turn itself off now I’ve taken the little piece of plastic that they give. me because it slips around and I’ve just taped it down to the back of a book, but it obviously is not the most ideal solution. I’m gonna go get a better surface. Once you have this up to temperature and you get it to the temperature. You want this button changes the speed so speed 2 speed one and as you go through them it’ll change the temperature so speed three is 204 pla plus the speed to is 185 speed one should go down to 175.

Once Thats Done Were Now Ready.

I’m going to go ahead and load some of the filament that comes with it. This is pla and we will do a couple strips and just see how well the pla holds up so to get it going you put the pla in the back and then push this button if you want to stop. press this to go press it again to stop it You’ll see that it’s going to extrude the old filament. I had tested some black in this pin already so this is speed three.

Lets See How Well This Holds Up And

we’re going to just try to draw a line and stick with it and see how it holds up. We’re gonna try speed two and again. I’ll try drawing a line once it comes out so unlike speed one. I find that speed two or sorry. Unlike the fastest speed.

I Find Pretty Much Unusable Except For Loading

filament speed two does work when you’re in a bind but again. It is really hard to keep that consistency and so when I was messing with it earlier. I mostly just kept it on speed one I’m gonna let it kind of drop down in temperature. I’ve noticed that the filament that it comes with most of them are pretty good. One or two has a tiny bit of a run, but it’s not too bad um, but you do need to get rid of that little bit every now and then to keep a nice clean end and we’ll try once again to draw a nice straight line.

This Is Mostly My Fault.

I can’t really blame the ink for the or the extruder for this so I do feel like that speed is a lot more controllable and if anything even that speed might sometimes be a little too much, but let’s try that again this time I’ll try and do some circles. This is the slowest speed with pla try. This at speed two okay and then speed three so that’s speed one two and three. You can see how it gets to.

Be Hard To Control At The

highest speed that said It’s nice having a high speed when you’re loading the filament, but I have to say in terms of a 3d pen and keep in mind. I’m not by any means an expert on the subject. I’m going to be limited more by my artistic ability than I am by the pen itself. I feel like so it does indeed draw quite nicely with pla let’s switch it out so ejecting if you want to stop the eject at any point. You have to hold this down and it’ll turn off because sometimes you hit that button by accident if I was to pick one fault.

In This Its That Filament Unloading Is

a little too easy to do by accident, but okay so that’s the default stuff that comes with it. So this is just a genericish roll of. 1. 755 millimeter pla. This is stuff I used to get from Cc tree.

I Think Actually This One.

I don’t even know no idea Somebody bought it for me, but let’s see how it works with generic play a lot of times. The filament you get with these is really catered towards it and it it’s hard to get an accurate reading of whether or not that’s what it’s really like so I’m going to put that in there I’m going to change the speed to 3 so the temperature comes up to 200 and i’m going to load. So I can feel here it’s not pulling through and that’s why there’s this is really bitter. This is really bitter Pla.

There We Go Now Lets Slow

down to speed one so it’s a little more manageable and this pla I put in here is pretty bad pla It constantly. gets stuck in my printer and it’s constantly stringy that’s what I want to test I want to see how this holds up with pla that even my printers might not consume we got it down to speed. One let’s try and draw something okay that was really it I ran out of pla already, but it did indeed work just fine with off-the-shelf pla next let’s try some abs to do that I’m going to unplug it and plug it back in it. ‘s going to ask me do I want pla do I want abs and I’m changing that this way and then hit this and it’ll start its warm-up process. Now this is some really old like six seven-year-old Abs.

Lets See How It Does With

this so the temperature is now at 210 so when you put abs in instead of pla. The only real difference is. around by 10 degrees so I’m going to go ahead and load this let’s see how it does let’s give it a go. I’m going to slow it down to the slowest speed just to make it kind of fair.
