• Can I use other 3Doodler plastic strands with the Start?

  No. The 3Doodler Start Eco-plastic was specially developed for the 3Doodler Start pen, so that you can Doodle at lower temperatures. It’s not possible to use other 3Doodler plastics designed for the Create or the PRO (such as ABS, PLA, FLEXY, Wood, PC, Nylon, etc...) in your 3Doodler Start.

• Can the 3Doodler pen use conductive ABS plastic?

  We haven't had the time to test conductive plastic yet, but another way of doing this would be to use conductive paint with your 3Doodles. As we have mentioned elsewhere, 3Doodler pens should only be used with filament approved by us. Use of other materials not approved by us may result in damage to your pen or injury to you, and will unfortunately void your warranty.

• Can I reuse or recycle 3Doodler plastic?

  Please do not reinsert extruded filament back into any pen. We have, however, seen users make magnificent artwork from plastic scraps, so you can save them for a project like that! Note that the filaments listed below are able to be recycled or composted. 3Doodler Create+: ABS and PLA are recyclable (number 7 recyclables). PLA and Wood are compostable in industrial composters. 3Doodler PRO+: Nylon and Metal are recyclable (number 7 recyclables). Wood filament is compostable in industrial composters. 3Doodler Start: All 3Doodler Start Eco-Plastic are eco-friendly, biodegradable and non-toxic. They can be composted in your back yard!
