3D printer after care Package

As you all are aware not every print that you make comes out perfect , maybe its stuck to the bed , has a few bits of stray plastic , the holes are not the right size , so you need an easy way of fixing your prints with this 3D printer tools:

In the postbag comes a USB 3D Print Tool – Which I must say is pretty impressive

Its is packaged well and has a good specification

  • What do you get

  • A USB Device (by all appearances a soldering iron) 5V 8W
  • 4 Tips
  • Consisting of a Knife Tip , Needle Tip , Point Tip , Scoop Tip , a stand

Plug it into a USB port and hey presto it should heat up to 300c  (572F) in less than 15 seconds , with a maximum temperature of 450c (842F),Fast cool down in less than 30 seconds , And if you forget and leave it turned on it will go to sleep after 25 seconds.

It has a touch switch and a indicator light., its pretty small , very light and I think it is a useful addition to the 3D Printers arsenal of tools.

How do you use the tool

Having played about with the tool I find it easy to use and realised it can do more than just fixing bad prints and making holes bigger , you can actually sculpt with the hot end , and one of my favourite jobs is to help nuts and other metal parts embed into the plastic.
