MYSTERIOUS: Here s what happened when my 3d pen almost caught fire | Mind Blowing Facts

3D pen melted.

I’ve noticed that a lot of creatives lately are jumping on the 3D pen hype, and I thought this might be the perfect time to share the experience I had when my Polaroid Play 3D pen (now discontinued) actually melted in my hands and started smoking.
