You’re going to love/hate 3D printer pens
I didn’t know this was a thing and I want one.
Really fun thing to play around with, although it requires some practice to do cool stuff with it.

Those are plotters, not printers.
I think you got mixed up a bit.
A plotter is a specialized printer used for drafting and generally uses big (usu. 3-4ft length) rolls of paper. Some types do use pens, though they’re usually short and specially shaped making them difficult to use manually
The OC was referring to the pens that work like an auto-feeding hot glue gun using colorized glue, or PLA if the heating element gets hot enough.
I think the main difference between printer and plotter is rasterization vs vector graphics.
