3D pen questions / reccomendations

OK so I am thinking of getting a 3D pen and am looking for recommendations. 2 things I would really like is one that can do ABS as well as PLA & one that takes 3mm filament (since I have 30 rolls or so on hand at any given time). Now the last one is not an absolute must but it would be handy to use the filament I already own. If everybody says the best pen by far is but uses 1.75 well I guess I can live with that but 2 filament types is going to be a must or I just won't get one.

Thanks for any advice.

I don't think there are many 3D pen users here. That being said, I've heard they all kinda suck and die pretty quickly, even the name brand ones. I think I heard it was the extruder motor that usually bites the dust or something.

Only 1.75mm, cheap stuff you find on Ali or Banggood. There are two models basically, one you can adjust T° and it displays it, a cheaper one where you adjust the T° with a trimpot. I got the cheapest and it is OK even for ABS (It stinks the same as from a printer).
I use it as a hot glue gun, to fix, fill, repair. Does a good job.
Don't expect to be able to "draw in the air" and make useful things out of it though; unless you can interpret Gcode and move your hand accordingly
