Lamax ArtKid1 cordless children’s pen review

A cordless 3D pen for children that draws with low-temperature PCL filament, with two speeds and two temperature levels, and a maker’s note that it is used according to the instructions and under supervision.

By Jean-Benoit Buisson

The bottom line A children’s pen that builds its case on a cooler filament and a cordless body, and says plainly that an adult should be present. What it does not publish — temperatures, nozzle, weight — would matter more on a pen for older users.

The ArtKid1 listing, bullet by bullet

Five bullets: 3D drawing for children with low-temperature PCL and TouchSafe technology, to be used according to the instructions and under supervision; ready to use with the cordless pen, 37 m of PCL in 12 colours, 3 templates, a USB-C cable and a manual; cordless, light and ergonomic for small hands; creativity and fine motor skills as a screen-free activity; and 2 speeds and 2 temperature levels, working with 1.75 mm PCL and expandable with refills.

Why PCL matters here

PCL softens at a lower temperature than PLA or ABS. A pen built around it can run cooler, which is the whole design argument for a child’s pen. The listing states the material and the diameter, and omits the actual temperatures of its two levels.

Supervision, in the maker’s words

The first bullet asks for use under supervision. The page takes that at face value: TouchSafe is the maker’s name for a design feature, and the instructions decide how a child should use the pen.

Refills

Only 1.75 mm PCL is named. PLA refills, which suit most other pens here, are not mentioned as compatible, so buying replacement filament means looking for PCL specifically.

Availability

At the last look-up, the German, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores were asking roughly 45 €.

The French Amazon catalogue lists the product, yet no seller was offering it.

The American and British Amazon stores returned no entry, so the buy button there opens a search rather than a missing page.

Questions makers ask before buying

What is PCL filament?

Polycaprolactone, a plastic that softens at a lower temperature than PLA. The listing chooses it so the pen can run cooler for children; refills must be 1.75 mm PCL.

Can a child use it alone?

The maker’s own first bullet says to use it according to the instructions and under supervision. This page reports the TouchSafe design as described and does not rate the pen as safe for unsupervised use.
