Kupu Whakataki
The 3Doodler Start Essentials 3D Pen is designed to bring creative ideas to life in three dimensions. This pen utilizes a kid-safe 3D printing technology that melts plastic, which then rapidly cools and hardens, allowing users to draw in the air. It is an ideal tool for fostering creativity, design, planning, building, and spatial understanding.

Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
1. Powering On and Heating
Turn on the 3Doodler Start pen. The pen will begin to heat up. An indicator light will show when the pen is ready for use. The pen operates at a single, child-safe temperature.
2. Drawing with the Pen
Once the pen is ready, press the forward button to extrude the melted Eco-Plastic. You can draw directly onto a flat, heat-resistant surface or use templates. The plastic hardens rapidly, allowing you to build 3D structures by drawing in layers or connecting 2D shapes.

3. Te Whakarite Tere
The pen features a speed adjustment button. This allows you to control the extrusion rate of the filament, which is useful for different drawing techniques and project complexities. Experiment with different speeds to achieve desired line thickness and flow.
4. Creating 3D Objects
To create 3D objects, you typically draw individual 2D components on a flat surface and then connect them using the 3Doodler pen to form a three-dimensional structure. The Activity Guide included in your kit provides various templates and project ideas to get started.

Te tiaki
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your 3Doodler Start pen, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Te horoi i te Nozzle: After each use, ensure no excess plastic is left on the nozzle. If plastic hardens on the nozzle, gently remove it once cooled.
- Storing Filament: Store Eco-Plastic filaments in a cool, dry place to prevent degradation.
- Kei te utu: Fully charge the pen when the battery is low to maintain battery health.
- Tiaki Whānui: Keep the pen clean and free from dust and debris. Avoid dropping the pen or exposing it to extreme temperatures.
