We're pleased to introduce our new collection of pens with ultra-fine patterns especifically designed for the 0.2mm Nozzle. The intricate patterns that surround the body, not only take full advantage of the thin nozzle size, but they also make the pens look and feel like much better. You will only need a standard BIC Crystal pen for this make.

The ultra-fine textures make the plastic feel like a premium material - Perfect to transform the BIC pens that lay around your desk.

If you'd like to support our work, we'd be super grateful for a boost 🚀 or a [Ko-Fi]. Your contribution, no matter how small, helps us to continue bringing more 3D models to life - and most importantly buying filament and coffee, what every 3D printing designer loves ;) Thank you!

Instructions

There are 4 different designs, each of them has a normal version and a version with a slot for a customizable text tag. Moreover, we have also added two different types of caps and some pen versions that can be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, although the details are not as fine.

The cap with clip needs to be printed in 2 separate parts and glued together with CA/Superglue or welded with a soldering iron or a lighter. I found this solution much better that printing it in one piece vertically, that led to very brittle clips.

For printing I had good results with basic PLA and silk PLA. Overall they are extremelly detailed and strong. However, with Matte PLA I had layer adhesion issues and the pens came out quite fragile. Also, I strongly recommend cleaning the plate very well with detergent and using a brim, as it is quite tricky to hold the pen vertically with such a small area. Also reducing speeds can help with adhesion issues.

Procedure for normal pens (without text)

• Print the pen of your choice - you can chose a plate with that design in the ‘all pens basic shapes’ print profile above
• Print a cap of your choice - In the profile I have included both types and I recommend printing both as it takes almost the same time as printing only one.
• Introduce the BIC catridge.

Procedure for customized pens (with text)

• Print the pen of your choice with a slot for a text tag. Profile ‘all pens with TEXT’
• Open the ‘customizable text tag’ profile in bambu studio.
• Go to Objects > Right click on 'text_shape' and edit the text
• To print it you will need an AMS or manually pause the print and change the fillament.
• Once printed, glue it to the pen with some contact glue

Alternative text Using ‘Make My Sign’

If you prefer, you can use MakerWorld's MakeMySign instead of the customizable text file. Just draw a rectangular plate of 50mm x 5.6mm and 1mm thick. After that you can add your text and download it.
