1. My Pen won’t turn on!
(Light doesn’t turn on)
Let’s double check the following:
A. Is the Power Adapter plugged into a working power outlet?
B. Is the end of the Power
Adapter connected to the
correct part of the Pen ?
HI
LO
OFF
If you have a spare power adapter around the house please use
it to test your
3Doodler . This will help determine if the problem is
with your 3Doodler or with the Power Adapter provided in the
box.
NOTE:
C. Make sure the Control
Switch on your 3Doodler is not
set to OFF .
3. My Plastic is not extruding from
my 3Doodler.
3A. Plastic not engaging properly with the Drive Gear:
Gently push and turn the Plastic clockwise until you feel the
strand pulled through the Drive Gear on its own.
If the above does not work, reverse the Plastic fully from the Pen .
(See Section 2, Step 6) Snip ends, then reinsert and try again.
If Plastic is too short to be removed from the Pen , move to 3B.
3B. Plastic is too short to be removed from the Pen:
Try unscrewing the Nozzle and
using the Unblocking Tool .
While Pen is hot ( BLUE or
GREEN Light on), use Mini
Spanner to unscrew and
remove Nozzle anti-clockwise.
Insert Unblocking Tool through
open front end of Pen and
gently push any excess Plastic
out through the back of the Pen .

2. My Plastic is extruding but it
won’t stick to the paper, or is
curling up around the Nozzle.
Stop extruding and start
again using the following
instructions:
When the Plastic resumes
extruding, push the Nozzle
firmly down into the paper,
allowing Plastic to stick to the
surface.
Drag the Plastic along the
paper or surface in a continuous
unbroken line as if you were
writing with a pencil.
Keep your movement slow and
steady. The
Plastic should hold
to the paper and not curl up
around the
Nozzle .
