First, I didn't buy this as a toy to doodle, I bought it as a tool to repair/join 3D printed items, so the ability to use standard 1.75mm filament was a requirement. The ability to reach ABS melting temperatures was also a must. Since I received it a couple of days ago, I've tested it on both plastics and it definitely works, if used properly. It's important to use the tip to create a melted groove ahead of the extrusion, so the layers will bond. A little practice goes a long way! Loading and unloading filament is easy and the auto-retract on button release is a nice touch. Very much worth the money!

Love this, perfect quilt and easy to set up but does take some adult supervision. The things you can create are only as far as your imagination. Good design and value, very functional.
