WARNINGS & NOTICES
ENGLISH
BURN HAZARD. The nozzle of the
3Doodler and the adjoining rubber tip can
become extremely hot. DO NOT touch the
nozzle or the adjoining rubber tip, the parts
near the nozzle or the parts near the
adjoining rubber tip, or any melted
plastic/filament, or you may be severely
burned! DO NOT allow the nozzle or the
adjoining rubber tip near or in contact with
flammable materials. Inform others in the
area that the unit is hot and should not be
touched. Unplug and set the slide switch to
OFF when not in use or before storing. After
use, allow the nozzle and the adjoining
rubber tip to cool completely before storing.
The hot nozzle or adjoining rubber tip may
damage painted surfaces, plastics and cloth
if left in direct contact with these materials.
BURN HAZARD. The Cleaning Tool can
become extremely hot. DO NOT touch the
metal part of the Cleaning Tool after using it
to clean your 3Doodler, or you may be
severely burned!
If the 3Doodler is emitting black or brown
smoke, cease using the pen immediately,
unplug the pen, allow the pen to cool, and
then store it away safely. Failure to do so will
increase the risk of fire. Please contact us
immediately at [e-mail] in such
circumstances.
ADULT USE ONLY. KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN.
WARNING
•
•
•
•
The 3Doodler should only be used with
3Doodler approved filaments or materials.
Misuse of your 3Doodler and/or use of
non-approved plastics, filaments or other
materials may result in damage to your pen
or injury to you, and will void your warranty.
Injuries to the user may include, but are not
limited to, harm sustained from inhaling
substances that are not suitable for heating,
or burns from flammable materials used in
the 3Doodler.
WARNING: DO NOT use the 3Doodler near
bathtubs, showers, basins or other vessels
containing water. This could result in death
due to electric shock.
NOTICE
SNIP THOSE ENDS!
After removing a strand/filament from the
3Doodler, cut and remove any partially
melted material at the end of your strand
before re-feeding it into the 3Doodler. This
will reduce blockages or clogging issues.

If you wish to reverse your plastic/filament, please follow the
instructions on step 6.
DO NOT pull plastic/filament from the back of the 3Doodler
other than directed. This will result in damage to your pen
and will void your warranty.
When switching from lower temperature
plastic/filament (such as PLA or WOOD) to
higher temperature plastic/filament (such as
ABS or FLEXY), the presence of any
residual plastic/filament in the pen’s heating
chamber may cause a slight amount of
smoke to emit from the pen. This is due to
the application of a higher melting
temperature being applied to lower melting
temperature materials.

USING YOUR 3DOODLER 2.0
Step 1: Connect your 3Doodler 2.0 to the power adapter
Connect the power adapter to the back of the 3Doodler and plug it
into a power source.
Note: If you have also purchased the 3Doodler JetPack®you
can also connect this to the back of the 3Doodler as a power
source.
Actual product may vary from the image found in this document.

Step 2: Turn on the pen and select
your plastic/filament
Turn the pen on by selecting the correct
heating temperature for the type of
plastic/filament you are using. Set the
slide switch to HI (“High”) for high
temperature plastics/filaments like ABS or
FLEXY, or LO (“Low”) for low temperature
plastics/filaments like PLA.

BLUE = HI (“HIGH”) ABS and FLEXY (heating range
between 230°C and 240°C; or 446°F and 464°F)
GREEN = LO (“LOW”) PLA (heating range between
190°C and 200°C; or 374°F and 392°F)
Step 3: Allow your 3Doodler to heat up before loading
plastic/filament
The 3Doodler takes approximately 2 minutes to heat up. During
that time the LED indicator will be RED and it will not be possible to
use the pen. Once the correct melting temperature is reached and
the pen is ready, the LED indicator will change to BLUE (HI) or
GREEN (LO).
Step 4: Load the pen
Load the plastic/filament into the plastic loader at the back of
the pen, feeding it down the length of the 3Doodler until you feel it
gripped by the gears inside the pen. It can take up to 30 seconds
for a newly loaded strand to begin extruding from the nozzle of
the pen.
NOTE: If you do not feel the plastic/filament being gripped
by the gears inside the pen, please give the plastic a
gentle clockwise twist while pushing it down the shaft of
the 3Doodler.

NOTE: After 5 minutes of inactivity the 3Doodler’s heating
system will automatically power down. You will need to
press one of the buttons OR toggle the slide switch off
and then on again to continue use.
Step 5: Extrude/select your speed
Simply single-click on the desired
extrusion speed (FAST (3) or SLOW (4) )
and your 3Doodler will continuously
extrude plastic/filament for up to ten
minutes before stopping.
To stop the continuous flow of
plastic/filament, simply click on either the
FAST (3) or SLOW (4) button on your
3Doodler.
If the pen stops and the RED LED appears again, wait a moment
for the LED to change to the appropriate color again (the pen is
simply returning to its optimal heating temperature).

WARNINGS & NOTICES

If the plastic/filament is not extruding, it may be because the
existing plastic/filament (A) is too short or has fed beyond the
gearbox, and you will not be able to reverse it. Please use a new
strand of plastic/filament (B) or the Cleaning Tool to feed the
remaining plastic/filament through the pen.

Step 7: Power down
To safely turn the pen off, move the slide switch to the OFF

Note: For those of you who are curious, the distance between
the gearbox and the nozzle is less than one inch.

PRO TIP: Optimize your melt
temperature; using the mini-screw
driver , tweak your 3Doodler’s melt
temperature +/- 5°C, for minor flow
adjustments and expertly consistent
Doodles. To do this, insert the mini
screw driver into the potted
Temperature Adjuster on the control
panel. Turn the mini screw driver
clockwise to increase the melt
temperature, or anti-clockwise to
decrease the melt temperature.

NOTE: Our 3Doodler is a sturdy and awesome tool, but
like any mechanical device it needs a break now and then.
We suggest giving it (and yourself) some downtime after 2
hours of continuous use (just a 30 minute break or so).

first feel resistance, and being sure to do so while the pen is hot.
Try to extrude again.WARNING: DO NOT force the nozzle or
overtighten it, as you could permanently damage your
3Doodler.

If there is any plastic in the pen, please use a pair of tweezer
to dislodge it so that it can be pulled out from the back of the
pen.
