Why is my 3Doodler Create having difficulty feeding PLA?

PLA feeding issues are often corrected by adjusting the temperature manually. Try lowering the heat by inserting the mini screwdriver into the temperature adjustment hole (located next to the On/Off switch), and turning it 90 degrees counter-clockwise. If you continue to have PLA feeding issues please contact our customer service team by emailing us here: [email protected]

  • How does one charge the 3Doodler Create+?

    The 3Doodler Create+ needs to be plugged in in order to function. The 3Doodler Create+ JetPack is a portable battery pack that, once fully charged, will allow the Create+ to be used on the go. The JetPack charges via USB, and can take up to 3 hours to charge.

  • Why can’t I feed Flexy in my 3Doodler Create?

    Flexy strand can expand from the heat of the pen, making it more difficult to feed. Try cutting the end of the strand at a 45 degree angle, and use the pen on slow mode. That should make it easier to feed. If you still have issues feeding Flexy, please contact our customer service team by emailing us here:
