What 3d printing pen do you guys recommend? I see ranges from 30 to 200 dollars out there. Any tips?

When you need to weld two 3d printed parts together, try Weld-On 3. It comes with a hypodermic applicator. Press the parts tight together, then drip some Weld-On 3 in the seam. The liquid is a strong solvent that dissolves the surface of both pieces, but within a minute the parts are welded together. It's the BEST way to weld two 3d printed parts together I have ever used. Use in a well ventilated area.
