"PLA not ABS"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It actually came with PLA filament rather than the advertised ABS. Apparently this is a good thing as PLA is a lot safer so is probably better to start with. The pen itself doesn't seem to like anything other than high speed and 180 degrees, the manual suggests the range is 170 to 210 for PLA so not sure if that is user error or the pen-

"Appears to be a cheap import knock off"
2 stars"

Appears to be a copy of the Scrib3d P1 pen made in China and re-badged. Variable speed control doesn't work (either on lots or hardly any; nothing in between) and the extrude/retract buttons randomly stay on after you have released the buttons, leaving a large plastic squiggle. A reasonably seasoned crafter that recieved this as a present, I managed a single low quality print in about 3 hours use. Less than impressed. If it's faulty then fair enough, I'd love to review a properly working one and adjust my score accordingly.

"Cheap 3d pen worked 1 week"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If I could rate it 0star o would. The 3d pen wasnt used alot of hours and is already broken. The gears inside jams the fillament so no fillament gets to the front to melt and it doesn't want to reverse at the back. Waste of money.
