Edible Candy 3D Pens

The Polaroid CandyPlay 3D Pen Uses Sugar-Free Candy Cartridges

— March 3, 2021 — Lifestyle
The Polaroid CandyPlay 3D Pen is an easy-to-use 3D printing pen that allows creatives to freehand draw virtually anything they can imagine and then eat it.

The pen comes with solid candy cartridges that are added to the base of the pen, with six unique flavors available to choose from. This includes lemon, grape, apple, strawberry, orange, and cola. The cartridges are also sugar-free and vegan-friendly. As users work their way through the cartridges, they can continuously reload their pen with the differently flavored refills, which are available in multi-flavor packs that can be purchased separately.

To use the Polaroid CandyPlay 3D Pen, all users need to do is plug it in and wait for the indicator to show that it's warm enough to start drawing. When they're ready to go, they simply press the button on the side to release the candy from the pen.
