When creating your own cosplay props, costumes, and accessories, a 3D pen is an excellent tool to have. I had no idea how useful a 3D pen could be until I started making cosplay masks and helmets using one of the best 3D printers on the market – the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon.

Having tested a handful of some of the best 3D pens, I think these creative tools are hugely overlooked. Plenty of consumers believe that 3D pens are only for kids (thanks to poor marketing), and can't seem to grasp the concept of how a 3D pen might be used for bigger projects. For example, the 3Doodler PRO 3D pen is intended for professionals, and after using it for the past month, I really think this 3D pen is a must-have tool for cosplayers and crafters.
