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
- Hold the 3D pen like a regular pen or pencil, ensuring a comfortable grip.
- Plug in your 3D pen
- Turn on the pen by clicking button and wait for it to heat up to the recommended temperature (PCL 80C°), PLA (180C°).
- Insert the filament to the hole on the top of the 3D pen
- Click the button to extrude melted plastic
- 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.
- Choose a well-ventilated area to work in.
- Place a protective mat or surface to prevent any accidental damage to your working area.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
