Tips
Try out different temperatures;
from 190 to 210 degrees for PLA
and 210 to 230 degrees for ABS.
If the motor clicks, the filament
isn't hot enough. If it's too hot
however, it will just flow out.
Start off by creating simple 2D
drawings to get used to handling
the pen. Once you're comfortable
using it, you can then move on to
creating 3D art (e.g., a cube). Use
a pencil to help you create
arches.
The only thing left to do is let your imagination run wild!
Check out our Facebook page (QR code on the back of
this manual) and share your creations and advice.
Cover the drawing in
painters' tape (masking tape)
to ensure that the filament
sticks to the material. This
allows you to reuse your
artwork. Hairspray also
works.
A small fan or hairdryer on a
cold setting will help you
solidify the shapes you want.
Troubleshooting
Every effort has been made to ensure that you're completely
satisfied when using your 3D pen. The following table details
possible solutions to problems you might encounter. Please refer
to this table before contacting customer service.
Problem
Possible cause
