Who said that 3D pens are all fun and games? We Did!

So this week we want to show you how to make game pieces with your MYNT3D printing pen. We're going to recreate some iconic game pieces, which come in handy if pieces get lost or broken.

This is a great way to upcycle old games that have been collecting dust in your closet.

You may also want to use them for decorating. And if you're feeling extra ambitious, create your own custom game tokens!
