Pro+

Set the Temperature

Plug in your 3Doodler PRO+. Turn it on. Using the Navigation Buttons, scroll through the preset temperature modes which display on the screen, then click the Enter Button to lock in your selection.

OOD – Wood
BRO – Bronze
COP – Copper
PLA – PLA
NYL – Nylon
FLE – Flexy
CUS – Custom mode, you can enter custom and set your temp and speed
SEL – Select temperature display (allows you to switch from F° to C°)

Set the Speed

Next, select the speed 1-10 that you want on the pen using the Navigation Buttons, then click the Enter Button to lock in your selection.

Wait for the indicator light to turn blue/green

Once the Temperature and Speed are selected, the current temperature will display on the digital screen, and the target temperature will flash. When the pen reaches the target temperature, the Indicator Light will turn Blue (for pre-set temperature modes) or Green (for custom mode).

Insert a strand of filament

Once the Indicator Light is Blue/Green, insert the filament strand through the feed port. With the strand inserted, click and release the Feed Button once. You will hear the Drive Gear Start. Gently push the Filament into the Feed Port until you feel the strand being pulled through the Drive Gear on its own.

Start Doodling

After 10-15 seconds, Filament will begin extruding from the Nozzle. Press the Feed Button once to stop extrusion.

The Buttons

– Up/Down: These buttons are used to adjust temperature and speed.
– Enter/Select: This button is used to verify your selection (Setting/Temperature).
– Feed/Reverse: Use these buttons to feed the strand forward, or to reverse it so that you can change strands.

Indicator Lights

– Red when heating up or when a setting is not selected (Note that the pen will not heat up until you select your filament type and speed)
– Blue when feeding on a pre-set temperature mode
– Green in custom mode
– Flashing Blue when reversing on a pre-set temperature mode
– Flashing Green when reversing in custom mode

Welding Plastic

Connecting plastic to plastic – While extruding, simply touch the tip of the 3Doodler to both pieces of plastic you want to join together. This is an essential skill to having success with your 3Doodler pen.

Reverse and Remove Filament

Ensure the pen is turned on and the temperature is fully heated up. Click the Reverse Button once. The Light will start flashing to signal that the Filament is reversing.

Once the Filament stops reversing, it is safe to remove it from the pen by gently pulling on the back of the strand. If a strand is too short you can remove the maintenance cover to get the strand.

Snip those ends

Keep your filament strands neat and clean – After removing a Filament strand from the 3Doodler PRO+, use scissors to cut and remove the melted end of your strand before reinserting it into the pen. This will reduce blockages and clogging issues. ALWAYS remove strands from the 3Doodler PRO+ when the pen is idle.

Jammed Plastic

Though uncommon, it is possible for plastic to get jammed. Clearing a jam out of the PRO+ is easier than ever.

Turn the pen on and set the temperature to that of the filament being used. Remove the nozzle using the socket located on the end of the Nozzle Storage case that was included with your pen set. (IMPORTANT: Only remove and replace the Nozzle with the pen turned on and fully heated.)

With the nozzle removed, click the reverse button to engage the reverse feature. Next, while the pen is in reverse, insert the unblocking tool through the nozzle-end of the pen to push any remaining filament out through the feed port.

How to Use the Maintenance Cover

The 3Doodler PRO+ has a removable maintenance cover on the underside of the pen. When removed, you now have access to the drive mechanism. The maintenance cover is magnetic and can be popped off with a fingernail. If you have a feeding issue or are removing a short strand, simply remove the cover, reverse the filament out, and then place the cover back on.
