3D pen Black Friday deal.

I love drawing on pen and paper, but drawing in thin air is something else. That's what it's like to use a 3D pen. And right now, it's something that's cheap to try. There are bunch of good 3D pen Black Friday deals, including on our the one we rate most highly, the 3Doodler PRO+ now $199 $139.99 at Amazon.

But that's a pro option. You don't need to pay that much if you're only starting out, or if you're considering a 3D pen as a gift for kids. There are some great hobbyist options too, including 30% off the new 3Doodler Flow: $79.99 $55.99 at Amazon US.

Like with 3D printers, the tech behind 3D pens has advanced significantly, and we found this latest generation of tools from the inventor of the 3D pen to be easy to use and versatile – the PRO+ can even print with metal allowing you to use metal and copper rather than just plastic filament and wood, making it suitable for wider prototyping work. We love it!

3Doodler Start+ Essentials $49.99 $34.99 at Best Buy

The option above is suitable for teens as well as adults, but if you're looking for a 3D pen for kids, my recommendation the 3Doodler Start+. It's designed for children aged 6 and up so has no hot parts. You can only use the brand's own child-friendly filament, but that makes it safer. This Essentials bundle comes with 48 strands in eight colours and a booklet with suggested activities to get started with.
