3Dmate Base - Transparent 3D Pen Mat 18 x 12 Inches with Fuse and Join Area - Flexible Two-Sided Heat-Resistant Silicone - 3D Pen Accessories Compatible with Stencils - STEM Activity for Kids, Adults

I purchased this mat for my 10 yr old daughter to use with her new 3d pen for Christmas. We have never used a 3d pen before and we were a little skeptical about how difficult it would be to make anything with it. I was also looking for a protective surface to use the pen on so that we would not damage our tables. Well, this mat is the answer to all of our concerns. First of all, the mat appears to be made of a very durable material that does not melt or change color with direct contact with our 3d pen. Second, the mat is full of different types of lines and shapes to assist you with creating any type of formation you need to construct your masterpiece. We are so pleased we found this mat. Originally, we were searching for something that we could use to protect our furniture, but what we found was so much better. You simply use your pen to follow the grooves in the mat and then you can pull your newly formed shapes right out of the mat. It's that simple. My 10 yr old got the hang of it in about 10 minutes. I only supervise her so that she does not use the pen incorrectly, she does not need any help with creating cool objects due to the ease of use with the 3Dmate design mat. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a tool to make 3d pen drawing simpler to use this awesome innovation.

Very good.

The 3D Mate Design Mat is a fantastic accessory if you enjoy working with a 3D pen. The grooves in the mat allow you to make pieces with straight lines and curves, which are notoriously difficult if done freehand. Their customer service is top notch as well as they helped me troubleshoot a 3D pen they also sell (a version of this mat comes with a 3D pen and rolls of PLA plastic. The mat I'm reviewing here does not come with these extras). This mat solves a specific problem and does it extremely well. I'm completely satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys making things with 3D pens.

This mat is a great product. It helps me draw really neat lines, and dramatically reduces the frustration of using a 3D pen. The shape options provided are very useful. The flexible quality of the mat is also great: you can easily transport it anywhere, and the bendiness makes popping out the finished pieces very simple. It can be useful for a person of any age interested in 3D pens. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the hefty price. $30 or even $40 would be easier to swallow. Thankfully this is a very sturdy mat, and will likely last for many years of regular use.

Super cool add on to go with a 3D pen. I use mine every time I get the pen out. East to do very structural things to base your free-hand work off of. Thick protective surface to work on without damaging table. Unroll and let relax for a bit on the first usage but not an issue after. My wife has one and cut it into 6 pieces but I like mine whole.

This base is a must buy for those interested with 3d printing pens. This base helps you achieve the straightest possible lines or curves with Divots on one side but if you want a surface to free hand on, just flip it over for a completely smooth non stick surface. I’ve used both PLA and ABS filament on the base and both are stabilized on it but neither stick or get stuck to it, it is extremely easy to pop creations out of the trenches in which the filament flows. I would highly recommend it. The only CON I could find, (And mind you i had to work hard to think of one) was the silicon sticks to most tables or surfaces you rest it on, so if you want to move or rotate the base you will need to dust it in a little talcum powder to free the smooth back from a shinny glass or wood surface. Smooth back doesn’t stick to matte surfaces though.

Nice size silicon mat, I like the way it’s laid out, give me plenty of ideas to create some useful stuff, and just playing with it will be fun, only thing I’d change about it would be make the grooves and lines twice as wide as they are, maybe twice as deep as well , I think the molten plastic would be a little easier to control if the mat was designed with deeper and wider grooves. Watching YouTube videos of people creating things with their 3D pens they make it look easy. I guess after working with a 3D pen a while it would be easier. I like the container it’s shipped in , will make a useful storage tube for the mat when it’s not being used. I found that the plastic flows pretty good on to the mat stays put and releases easily when making parts of projects. I’m still trying to master controlling the 3D pen I have it’s challenging,

Purchased this for my wife, so far it has worked perfect, we had a minor issue but the seller was able to correct it in a very timely manner.

Ottimo prodotto, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

EXCELENTE PRODUCTO, TAL CUAL SE ANUNCIA.

Works as described and my kids love using the 3D pen now because it's much easier to create things with symmetry and straighter.

Excellent produit, très pratique lorsque l'on fait un atelier stylo 3d. Les deux faces permettent de travailler différemment. Soit la face lisse pour faire ce que l'on désire, soit la face avec les rainures pour faire des formes. Vraiment bien pensé

Sehr schöne und stabil hochwertige Unterlage für den 3d Stift!
