Do 3D pens get hot?
3D Pen Faqs
For the 3Doodler Start and 3D Build & Play, the plastic is warm when extruded and is safe to touch, and the pen tip doesn’t get hot. There is not any burn risk with the 3Doodler Start or the 3D Build & Play.
Most filaments you can leave in the extruder indefinitely without any ill effects. There are some filaments that need to be stored away from moisture, particularly Nylon, because they absorb moisture from the air and don’t print well if they contain a lot of absorbed moisture.
