How to use 3D pen

A 3D pen works by heating and melting plastic filament, which is then extruded through a nozzle. The melted filament quickly cools down and solidifies, allowing you to draw and create three-dimensional objects. By controlling the flow of the filament and moving the pen, you can build layers and shapes, bringing your ideas to life in a physical form.

User guide

1. Hold the 3D pen like a regular pen or pencil, ensuring a comfortable grip.
2. Plug in your 3D pen
3. Turn on the pen by clicking button and wait for it to heat up to the recommended temperature (PCL 80C°), PLA (180C°).
4. Insert the filament to the hole on the top of the 3D pen
5. Click the button to extrude melted plastic

Familiarize Yourself with the Controls

• Take a moment to understand the different buttons and controls on the 3D pen.
• Familiarize yourself with the speed settings, temperature adjustments, and filament loading mechanism.

Preparing Your Workspace

• Choose a well-ventilated area to work in.
• Place a protective mat or surface to prevent any accidental damage to your working area.

Mastering Control and Technique

• Experiment with the speed settings to control the flow of filament and the speed of your movements.
• Practice creating smooth and consistent lines, curves, and shapes.
• Try different techniques like layering and building to create three-dimensional objects.

Changing Filaments

• If you want to switch to a different filament color or material, follow the manufacturer's instructions to unload the current filament.
• Insert the new filament and allow it to heat up and extrude before continuing your project.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• If the filament gets stuck or clogged, refer to the troubleshooting section in the user manual to resolve the issue.
• Clean the nozzle regularly to maintain optimal performance.

Safety Precautions

• Always follow the safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
• Be cautious of the hot nozzle and avoid touching it directly.
• Keep the 3D pen out of reach of children when not in use.

 Practice and Explore

• Keep practicing and experimenting with your 3D pen to improve your skills and explore new creative possibilities.
• Join online communities and forums to learn from other 3D pen enthusiasts and share your own creations.

 Maintenance and Care

• After each use, clean the nozzle and ensure that the pen is stored in a safe and secure place.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper maintenance and care to prolong the lifespan of your 3D pen.

Remember, each 3D pen may have specific instructions and features, so always refer to the user manual provided by the manufacturer for detailed information. Enjoy your 3D pen journey and have fun creating amazing three-dimensional artworks!
