Making modifications and clearing up 3D printed models can sometimes be a little tricky when using a standard blade or knife. The sooner you start adding a little heat to the equation then removing excess bits of plastic, support and other slight imperfections from your model becomes so much easier.
Isaac Porras has created a new 3D printing hot tool and soldering iron called the Solderdoodle Plus, which takes the form of a USB rechargeable hot multitool which can be used as a soldering iron, hot knife, needle, spade, and scooper.
