This is fabulous! The simple linear quality holds great expression, and the characters are fully realized in this fluid, yet simple line film.

That's magnificent. Really nicely done. I'm trying to imagine how many times they had to redo similar shapes to get the animation and it's making me a bit queasy!

That was really cute.

One can use a heat gun to soften the plastic; it's possible to reform shapes as needed.

The media/material was 3d printed so it’s perfect for using a touch of heat to quickly modify. Interesting use of the tech.

I had heard that those 3D pens were scams, but on further inspection, figured out that they aren't so much scams. The ads were just being deceptive by making it look like anyone can do it. It is like saying 'buy this paint set and you too can paint like Van Gogh'.

This video is a good illustration of the amazing things that can be done with a 3D pen in the hands of a wonderful artist. I was amazed by the video.
