Basics

Set the Temperature

• Plug in your 3Doodler PRO+ and turn it on.
• Use the Navigation Buttons to scroll through the preset temperature modes on the display.
• Press the Enter Button to select your desired material.
• Available preset modes:
  • OOD – Wood
  • BRO – Bronze
  • COP – Copper
  • PLA – PLA
  • NYL – Nylon
  • FLE – Flexy
  • CUS – Custom mode for setting temperature and speed
  • SEL – Select temperature display (switch between °F and °C)

Set the Speed

• Choose your extrusion speed (1–10) using the Navigation Buttons.
• Press the Enter Button to confirm your selection.

Wait for the Indicator Light

• The Indicator Light will turn:
  • Blue for preset temperature modes
  • Green for custom mode

Insert the Filament

• Once the Indicator Light is Blue or Green, insert a filament strand through the Feed Port.
• Click the Feed Button once; the Drive Gear will pull the filament through automatically.

Start Doodling

• After 10–15 seconds, filament will begin extruding from the nozzle.
• Press the Feed Button to stop extrusion when needed.

The Pen

Buttons

• Up/Down: Adjust temperature and speed.
• Enter/Select: Confirm your selection.
• Feed/Reverse: Feed the filament forward or reverse it to change strands.

Indicator Lights

• Red: Heating up or waiting for a selection.
• Blue: Feeding in preset temperature mode.
• Green: Feeding in custom mode.
• Flashing Blue/Green: Reversing filament in preset/custom mode.

Operation

Feeding Strands

• Push the filament gently into the pen until the Drive Gear grips it.
• If the strand is too short, remove the cover and feed it from inside.

Pressing On Surface

• Press the nozzle firmly onto your surface for a few seconds to anchor the filament, then lift the pen.

Welding Filament

• Touch the 3Doodler tip to two pieces of filament while extruding to connect them.

Finishing and Tips

Reverse and Remove Filament

• Ensure the pen is turned on and heated.
• Press the Reverse Button; the Light will flash as the filament retracts.
• Once retracted, gently pull the filament out.

Snip Those Ends

• Trim melted ends of filament before reinserting to prevent clogs.

Troubleshooting

Jammed Filament

• Set the temperature to match the filament being used.
• Remove the nozzle using the included socket (pen must be heated).
• Use the reverse feature and the unblocking tool to clear any jams.

Accessories

Swapping Nozzles

• Ensure the pen is turned on and heated before removing or attaching nozzles with the nozzle tool.
• Do not over-tighten; keep the nozzle tool centered to avoid damage.

Using the Smoothing Tool

• Slide the tool onto the nozzle while the pen is unplugged and cool.
• Turn on the pen, use the appropriate temperature, and smooth your doodles.
• Turn off and allow to cool before removing the tool.

Using the Mini DoodlePad

• Use the transparent, grid-lined DoodlePad for precise creations.
• For WOOD, Bronze, Copper, or FLEXY, use the backside; ABS, PLA, and Nylon work best on the front.
