Has anyone used a 3D pen on PLA prints?

I do this right regularly. I created a huge trash can shape container using 8 separate pieces printed in PLA. I then glued together with CA glue and welded the pieces with a 3D pen to make the joints stronger.

A couple of things to remember:

3D pen don’t push the filament like a 3D printer does. You have to slow the flow of the pen down, and let the filament bind to the layers below

There’s a big difference how different PLA will behave with a 3D pen. Some filaments won’t stick as well like others

You have to mimic the behaviour of a printer with the pen. So you have to lay down layers of filament, rather than trying to make it behave like a glue gun.

Can you identify this?

The bread component is either a puri or a bhatura, restaurants use them both. I would call it a large puri. The curry component is chick peas, or what I would call cholle (but as somebody said can also be called Channa masala). The green stuff is a mint chutney, sometimes made by mixing mint and yoghurt but this one looks like it came out of a jar ready made.

What are some of your "oh my god it's 10 at night and I forgot to eat dinner" recipes?

Keeping on with the pasta theme, keep a couple of mushroom soup cans in your cupboard pantry for this very reason.

Cook some pasta, and drain the water a good minute before the pasta is cooked. To that pan add a tin of mushroom soup and season with pepper. You end up with a creamy mushroom pasta. Top it off with any garnish, including cheese or herbs of your choice. It takes as much time as it would to cook the pasta.
