Baking to Smooth 3D Pen Creations - Is it Easy?

- I tested out different methods for smoothing the surface of 3D Pen creations by baking them in an oven!
I wanted to see how well it worked and how it compares to other smoothing methods I have looked at in the past. These techniques are intended for PLA smoothing only.
Different Infills Experimented With:
- No Infill
- “100%” PLA Infill
- Clay Infill
- Foil Infill
Different Surface Preparations Experimented With:
- Wood Burning
- Adding a Second Layer of Filament
- Sanding

Great video mate i love all the different tests it is really interesting to see the results
Thank you!
Very helpful
Thank you SO MUCH
If you are wanting to make the same shape over and over - make a wooden buck. Hardware and craft stores sell wooden balls in all sorts of sizes that you can cut up. Next video should be smoothing with a heatgun.
And yes I have a toaster oven and sandwich press just for playing with plastics in.
Thanks for suggesting the wooden buck, I'll check it out.
does smoothing with a heatgun works?
Great results Ali 👍 I definitely thought the clay would be best. I experimented with filling coasters cut on CNC with PLA chunks (bits of cut filament) as well as 3d pen fill and had mixed results. I'll definitely have to go back and revisit that. Thanks for sharing!
I also thought clay would do best. I hope your coasters come out better, let me know how it goes!
Amazing
Thanks!
I tried using an iron on a flat test piece, just to see what would happen. I learned that it isn’t worth the effort. It can make the surface more smooth, but it’ll never actually produce a surface without indentations where the lines of material were put down. I also learned that the plastic doesn’t stick to the iron’s surface, so there’s that. I suspect that the iron doesn’t get quite hot enough to actually liquify the plastic again, which is why this method doesn’t work as well as I’d hoped.
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing it, always helpful to know what others have tried.
Hi...can you use a torch to smooth? Thanks
Just curious have you ever tried a heat embosser?
The foil infill sanded looks promising if you want textured results. Much more faster and less time consuming.
I hesitated to try this method because I don't have a dedicated oven.
It saves so much time as an initial smooth. You can then woodburn or sand or whatever. I think I'll be using it a lot.
@@PotentPrintables I am very curious tho, how many time it takes until the fumes go away from the oven ?
You deserve way more subscribers
Appreciate that, hopefully it happens :)
Interesting!!
Glad you think so!
Have you evver thought about trying a heatgun?
whats your prom whith sanding
Out of curiosity, how does transparent filament look when it's baked like this? o: I'd be curious whether it's any good or not, because in the transparent filament video you mentioned finding it challenging to make smooth things using that type of filament. I'd especially be interested in how it affects flat creations like the stained glass you made, but I'm curious about other, more involved 3D shapes too.
Good question- I haven't experimented too much yet. I did try baking some on a mirror, but the mirror cracked badly after I took it out and it was cooling. That bummed me out, cause it makes the possibility of baking the stained glass creations much less likely.
Hello I was wondering if there is a rubbery material that sticks to pla?
TPU (flexible) filament sticks to PLA to some degree.
Nice video i like it 😀
I'm glad you like it!
I’m on board with your dislike of sanding! I do have a heat gun with very fine temperature adjustment that is made for welding plastics; I’m going to give that a shot and report back.
Have you tried the TPU filament in a MYNT3D pen?
aren't those bubbles caused by too much heat?
Should I buy the, MYNT3D Super 3D Pen please comment

I honestly prefer MYNT
Thx will buy MYNT3D
Vidya S. Dhanasekaran
Any time
I have the pro and it's great.
Ok thx
bài kiểm tra thú vị quá

Can you try microwaving it
Trashcan Tunes wouldn’t get hot enough :/
microwave doesn't give heat it uses radiation to heat "food" up
First off. Try a one layer flat surface. I have. It still wont be flat the edges will round off a little. Also use some other colors if you really want learn something. I got pics that i can show. One of mine was a green leaf. No smoothing with 3d simo. Where the peaks where a very slight brown color appeared. In the same direction that it was penned. Same happened with purple. White would show it tge worst case scenario. The way I back goes as follows. Aluminum pan, inside ceramic tile paper clip another Aluminum pan for a cover. Back at 350 for 20 minutes. My oven is convetion oven with fan and timer built in.
Share the pics in our 3d pen Discord channel, I'd love to see them. I have some more complicated examples coming.

I would imagine baking it in your normal oven should be fine, at least with PLA. PLA is deemed safe for contact with food, and that's more than polymer clay can boast. Meanwhile, it's considered safe to bake polymer clay in the same oven as food, just as long as they're not being baked at the same time and the oven is allowed to air out while cooling down before baking food in it again. If polymer clay is ultimately more toxic than PLA, it stands to reason that following the same safety precautions would be fine.
I think a hemisphere might have fared a bit better
