SECTION 1: WARNINGS

Disposal of this product

At the end of your 3Doodler Create+’s life, please do

not dispose of it in your general household waste. In

order to prevent possible harm to the environment

or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal,

please dispose of your 3Doodler Create+ separately

in accordance with local laws and regulations. For

more information on the separate collection systems

for waste electrical and electronic equipment, please

contact your local municipal authority. You can also

contact the retailer from which you purchased your

3Doodler Create+, who may have a recycling service, or

be part of a specific recycling scheme that you can use.

- The Nozzle of the 3Doodler Create+

can become hot. DO NOT touch the

Nozzle, or you may be burned!

- DO NOT allow the Nozzle near or in

contact with flammable materials.

- Inform others in the area that

the Pen is hot and should not be

touched.

Unplug and set the Control Switch

to OFF when not in use or before

storing.

Allow the Nozzle to cool completely

before storing.

The Unblocking Tool can become

hot. DO NOT touch the metal part

of the Unblocking Tool after using

it to clean your 3Doodler Create+,

or you may burn yourself!

DO NOT use the 3Doodler Create+

near bathtubs, showers, basins

or other vessels containing water.

This could result in death due to

electric shock.

The 3Doodler Create+ should only be

used with ABS or PLA, FLEXY plastic

filament approved by us. Misuse

of your 3Doodler Create+, setting

your pen to the wrong heating

temperature, and/or use of non-

approved plastics 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 Create+.

ADULT USE ONLY.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

W A R N I N G S

SECTION 2: GETTING STARTED

WITH 3DOODLER CREATE+

How it Works:

The 3Doodler Create+ melts

Plastic and uses a motor and gears

(

Drive Gear) to push it through the Pen’s hot end (Nozzle) in a

thin line. This process is called

extruding or extrusion, and we

will refer to it throughout this User Manual. Once extruded,

Plastic

cools and hardens instantly, allowing you to draw on surfaces and
in the air. This User Manual will show you how!

We created this User Manual as a step-by-step guide to

get you comfortable with your

3Doodler Create+ and

its features. Once you are familiar with these steps, you

will be able to Doodle with confidence. Skipping steps

may result in a less enjoyable time with your

3Doodler Create+.

Step 6: Reverse and Remove

Plastic

Once

Plastic stops reversing,

it is safe to remove it from the
Pen by gently pulling on the
back of the strand.

With

Pen set to ABS / FLX, wait

for

BLUE Light to come on.

Plastic that is shorter than 5.3 inches cannot be reversed.
You should feed it all the way through your

3Doodler Create+ and

use it up. (Alternatively, you can push

Plastic out the back - see

Section 3, Step 3B.)

NOTE:

Before we continue, it’s time you learned about the different
types of

Plastic you can use with the 3Doodler Create+

(and which settings to use for each type).

ABS (MATTE):

Temp: ABS / FLX Temp
Light: BLUE
Feature: Great for drawing in the air.
How to tell: Plastic has white
semi-circle ends.

PLA (GLOSSY / CLEAR /

METALLIC / SPARKLE ):

Temp: PLA Temp
Light: GREEN
Feature: Gossy and making it perfect
for artistic creations.
How to tell: Very rigid, no white
semi-circle ends.

Now that you’ve Doodled with ABS Plastic, we want

to show you everything you need to know about

changing Plastic and introduce you to the different

types of Plastic.

FLEXY:

Temp: ABS / FLX Temp
Light: BLUE
Feature: Make flexible,
bendable Doodles.
How to tell: Plastic is very flexible.

After removing a

Plastic strand

from the

3Doodler Create+,

cut and remove any partially
melted material at the end of
your strand before re-feeding
it into the

3Doodler Create+.

This will reduce blockages and
clogging issues.

continuous use.

After 5 minutes of inactivity, the

1. My Pen won’t turn on!

(Light doesn’t turn on)

Let’s double check the following:

A. Is the Power Adapter plugged into a working power outlet?

B. Is the end of the Power

Adapter connected to the

correct part of the

Pen?

If you have a spare power adapter around the house please

use it to test your

3Doodler Create+. This will help determine if

the problem is with your

3Doodler Create+ or with the Power

Adapter provided in the box.

NOTE:

C. Make sure the Control

Switch on your 3Doodler

Create+ is not set to OFF.

3. My Plastic is not extruding from

my 3Doodler Create+.

3A. Plastic not engaging properly with the Drive Gear:

Gently push until you feel the strand pulled through the

Drive

Gear on its own.

If the above does not work, reverse the

Plastic fully from the Pen.

(See Section 2, Step 6) Snip ends, then reinsert and try again.

Plastic is too short to be removed from the Pen, move to 3B.

3B. Plastic is too short to be removed from the Pen:

Try unscrewing the

Nozzle and

using the

Unblocking Tool.

While

Pen is hot (BLUE or

Spanner to unscrew and
remove

Nozzle anti-clockwise.

While using the

Reverse feature

2. My Plastic is extruding but it

won’t stick to the paper, or is

curling up around the Nozzle.

Stop extruding and start
again using the following
instructions:

When the

Plastic resumes

extruding, push the

Nozzle

firmly down into the paper,
allowing

Plastic to stick to the

surface.

Drag the

Plastic along the

paper or surface in a continuous
unbroken line as if you were
writing with a pencil.

Keep your movement slow and
steady. The

Plastic should hold

to the paper and not curl up
around the

Nozzle.

you first feel resistance so as
to avoid over-tightening the
Nozzle and breaking it.

A. Click either the FAST or SLOW button once.
B. If Step A does not solve this problem, please unplug your
3Doodler Create+ and then plug it in and try again.

5. My Plastic won’t stop extruding.

4. My Plastic is leaking from

around the Nozzle.

While the

the

Plastic is reversing. Once the Plastic stops reversing, it is safe

to remove it from the

Pen by gently pulling on the back of the

strand.

Plastic is too short to reverse, see Section 3, Step 3B.

6. How do I reverse my

unused Plastic?

It is possible that the

Plastic is either too short to reverse all the

way out of your

3Doodler Create+, or that the Plastic has moved

past the

Pen’s Drive Gear system.

You will be able to check for these issues by looking through the
Maintenance Cover.

7. I have reversed my Plastic but

cannot get it out.

For both of these issues, you can try the following options:
• Insert a new strand of Plastic or Unblocking Tool to push the
remaining

Plastic through while Pen is ON and extruding.

Plastic reversed, but too short to take out and no longer in
contact with the

Drive Gear.

Plastic is beyond Drive Gear.

Or
• While using the Reverse feature of the 3Doodler Create+, remove
Nozzle and use Unblocking Tool to push Plastic out the back of
the

Pen. (See Section 3, Step 3B).

• DO give your 3Doodler Create+ a rest after every 2 hours of
continuous Doodling. 30 minutes of down time should be plenty.

Once the

Pen by gently pulling on the back of the strand.

• If you ever remove your
Nozzle, DO NOT remove it
when your

3Doodler Create+

GREEN.

• If you ever need to tighten
your

Nozzle, DO NOT force

the

Nozzle or overtighten it,

as you could break the

• After removing a Plastic strand
from the

and remove any partially melted
material at the end of your
strand before re-feeding it into
the

reduce blockages or clogging
issues.
