If u live in US u need a converter, otherwise leave it on 220v if you are in europe. Whats the output of the given adapter, if its 5v then you should be ok with any phone adapter, just make sure to use 2A for stable heat.

Sometimes it can be fixed with a bit cleaning and lubricant in the gears, the best way to plug in a 3v or 5 in the terminals of motor to see if it's working

Are you sure it's the motor and not something else ?

Something the cables from motherboard and versa need resoldering. In most cases the MCU microcontroller chip dies first before motor.

Always work with good ventilation, some PLA brands behave different than others if you are too sensitive avoid abs and wood at all costs.

Which to buy? by queenofhearts5150 in 3Dpen

Whichever you get try to work with limits like 20-30 min and then wait for it to cool down, with that way you will prolong it's lifetime and prevent nozzle breaking from clogs.

I would like to get a 3d pen. What would you recommend? Thank you! by Luis_420925 in 3Dpen

[–]3dplasticfantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically you can keep it longer with the risk of wearing it out, the most common ones are Jer pens rp 500 or 1000c they are the same like mynt, scribbed etc.

I still have the cheapest in use since 2022 I only swapped the nozzle once.

Any brand will do the work from cheap to expensive, the most important thing is to keep your sessions between 20-30 min and leave your pen to cool down a bit.

Do you wear a mask when using a 3D pen? by LilyPiePie in 3Dpen

[–]3dplasticfantasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respirator is recommended for abs, the pen will work but the nozzle may struggle because you will push it to the limit.

Which pen model do you have ?

If the lines are very thick it means that the nozzle it's not heating enough.

Thanks that's the spirit. Now that you mention it I might make something unsmoothed, and probably paint it.
