Thank you so much!

Any delays while using a pencil? Do you use the latest Apple pencil?

I wonder if you can still buy a 2018 pencil and if the latest Apple pencil will work?

Amazon or eBay…

I’m not familiar with the newer pencil yet…

Same as @Romulus369, I too have a 2018 iPad Pro with the 1st gen Pencil. Shapr3D performs just fine!  
The 2nd gen Pencil will not work with the 2018 iPad Pro (my understanding).

I’m on an 2016 iPad Pro 9.7” with its original Apple Pencil. Occasionally when working with crazy geometries it will take a moment to think but I have not had any real prohibitive issues.

I look forward to upgrading to an 12.9” M1 Pro at some point. That extra screen space will be niiiice.
