Additional tips for 3DSimo Mini

3DSimo launched new campaign on kickstarter to support their new 3DSimo Mini 3D pen. There are similar products on the market, like second version of 3Doodler. I decided to support this project for one reason - exchangeable tips.

I am 3D print fan and I have a printer myself. With this 3D draw tip I can simply join prints together and create complex objects.

I have few suggestion for 3DSimo team to make this product even more versatile.

Filament joiner

This tip will enable you to weld and splice filament pieces together. Then you could create multi-color filament to create such prints.

There are already several products on the market, but additional tip for 3Dsimo would be elegant solution.

Products on the market:

• EasyWelder
• FUSE, Welding filament clamp
• Artesea filament splicer
• Hair iron as filament joiner

Print finishing tool

3D printed object is usually not final and it requires additional work. You need to remove print supports or print residues, make print smoother or fix issues caused by wrong print settings.

There are already dedicated tools for finishing print like Retouch3d or Cordless.  But why not to have all in one? I can imagine multiple heads for this task.

Blank tip for custom tools 

Imagine I would like to create a custom tool, e.g. wood branding iron with my logo. Blank tip would help me with it a lot. I could just cast the logo in metal and append it on such blank head. Simple and easy :o)
