The three models in the Polaroid 3D range boast a compact, sleek design and are ideal for anyone looking to easily print models, parts and artwork in their own home or office. Users can control their Polaroid 3D printer via a simple-to-use iOS or Android app and track the printer’s progress with color coded lights. The printers have a printing layer resolution of 100 microns, and use popular and user friendly 1.75mm filament that can be changed during printing for bold and colorful designs. Additionally, all models in the line feature a child safety lock for extra security during the printing process.

The smallest of the three models, the Polaroid PLN1 3D printer has a footprint of 10.6” x 10.6” x 10.6” and print size of 4.7” x 4.7” x 4.7”, making it perfect at home, a small office and for 3D printer beginners. This easy-to-use model is available in four fun colors (pink, black, blue and white) and at an affordable price point. Designed for the more advanced user, the Polaroid PLG1 3D printer measures in at 16.5” x 16.5” x 16.5” with a print size of 8.6” x 8.6” x 8.6” and comes in matte black. The printer includes a builtin camera to allow users to view progress and send images to a smartphone to share on social media. The Polaroid PLG1Pro includes all the features of the Polaroid PLG1 and is also specially configured with a dual printing head for dual color printed models.

Build Colorful 3D Works of Art The Polaroid line of 3D pens allows users to create detailed 3D models with ease. The pens feature an ergonomic design for a comfortable grip for any user and are perfect for fun family arts and craft projects. Polaroid 3D printing pens can use both popular PLA and ABS filament, while the built-in LCD display indicates the filament and temperature mode. An anti-jamming system with auto eject and variable speeds offer ease-of-use and better control and precision. The line features two models, the Polaroid DRW100 3D pen and the wireless Polaroid DRW101 3D pen. Both pens include 10m of starter filament, while the wireless Polaroid DRW101 also features a built-in battery and charging stand. The Polaroid 3D printing pens are available in five fun and vibrant colors (white, black, blue, pink and yellow).
