Our Plastics Promise

We want you to trust every Doodle you or your children create! That’s why we partner with the best engineers and factories around the world, and source only the highest quality plastics.

All 3Doodler plastic strands are made from the highest quality materials, at factories in the US, UK and Spain, and they have all been subjected to the strictest standards of safety testing. This includes passing RoHS testing, Toxological Risk Assessments, LHAMA compliance testing, and heavy metal testing by labs including Intertek and Bureau Vertias (two of the world’s most reputable testing labs).

Our 3Doodler Start plastics melt at low temperatures so that they are completely safe for kids, and they are also certified as compostable, meaning they will break down over time under typical household compost conditions. Something we are all pretty excited about is that ALL of our plastics are certified as recyclable.

We are proud to work with many trusted retailers, such as Michaels and Target, who value (and also insist on) high standards of quality and safety testing. Unfortunately, there are an increasing number of plastics available through online marketplaces which claim to be compatible with the 3Doodler, but are not. In addition to damaging your 3Doodler pen, the third party plastics are often sized wrong, low grade (resulting in poor quality output, including bubbling), and come from questionable sources, or have certifications from unknown labs where safety cannot be verified.

We promise to uphold only the highest standards when it comes to our plastics, and in doing so, we hope to make your choice as easy as… Doodling a pyramid!

3D-pen for 3D-printer, fixing bloatware / Habr

Almost everyone has heard about 3D-pens. Many have tried them, many have them. So, perhaps, this gadget will surprise no one. And, probably, if there is a 3D printer at home, then the pen against its background will look very funny. But... Do not rush, a 3D pen can become an indispensable assistant and a very handy tool for any maker. Now, using my example, I will show how easy it is to save a three-dimensional model that took 41 hours to print using a 3D pen.



Let's start by inspecting the gadget.

Everything is standard, the box contains instructions, power supply and the pen itself.

Power supply cable is 1.4 m long, should be enough for most outlets near tables.

12 volt, 3 amp power supply.

It easily gives out the declared volts at idle, I didn’t measure the current, sorry. Let's go straight to the test.

Handle like a handle. Of the interesting - this is the specified nozzle diameter - 0.7 mm. A big plus for me personally is that the pen is omnivorous. You can print both PLA and ABS. There is also a manual temperature control.

Mode selection is intuitive. You just need to press the buttons on the sides of the screen.

Next, press the feed button, you can release it once. Heating starts. Heats up quickly, faster than a 3D printer.

When the desired temperature is reached, the indicator to the left of the screen changes from red to green.

In addition to adjusting the temperature, there is an adjustment for plastic feed (speed) on the handle.

On the other side of the feed adjustment there are 2 buttons - “squeeze out” and “pull out”.

Filled for the first test with a piece of plastic left over from the last print.

On the first delivery, you can see that there was already some plastic in the nozzle. This is good, since the handle was really checked. Some printer manufacturers supply them with a printed figure on the table, the user immediately sees that the device is working and prints as it should.

I had test plastic right away for a reason, I refilled transparent SBS, it is quite soft and often there are problems with it when printing on a printer. Here, everything immediately went briskly.

A small digression.

I was given a set of plastic along with the pen.

3D palette.

By the way, a very good addition to the 3D pen. In addition to conveniently located plastic in separate pockets, there is a compartment for storing a pen, as well as an envelope with sketches on tracing paper for easy creation of three-dimensional models.

We take a tracing paper and draw glasses along the contour.

Once the plastic has cooled, it can be easily removed from the tracing paper. We're filming.

Draw the second bow.

Next, melt the temples to the glasses.

PLA plastic is very pleasant to work with, easy to soften and stick to each other. But there is one drawback, it should not be overheated, it becomes too fluid, but more on that later.

Glasses are ready.

Now let's get down to business. I printed a Pinky monster figurine from DOOM 3. Printing did not work right away, the model is very complex with spikes and other details sticking out in all directions. I printed both in 2 extruders with supports from HIPS, and with supports generated in MeshMixer. But when moving to the beginning of the hands, something always fell off and I had to stop printing. Perhaps the plastic is to blame, it is almost a year old and it was stored without a package and a box, just like that.

In general, for the third time I combined printing methods and added supports from HIPS plastic to the model with supports from MeshMixer. In the middle of printing, I saw that my hands were torn off again, but I spat and finished printing to the end, deciding to simply glue the damaged parts.

The parts have been reprinted and now with the help of a 3D pen I can easily glue them to the main model.

With such a seam, glued parts are obtained, but firmly. And the protruding excess plastic can be ground off or cut off with a knife after treatment with dichloromethane.

Saw off the muzzle.

And glue a new, high-quality one.

This is a darned creation of Frankenstein.

Here you can see the comparison of the quality of the old and new muzzle.

Let's move on to the hands. It’s more difficult here, in some places it turned out to be a big gap.

But, in principle, the handle easily copes with wide slots.

It remains only to process the seams.

I didn't sand or dry sharpen them. I decided to treat the entire model with methylene chloride, it dissolves both PLA and ABS equally well.

The seams have become smoother, but most importantly, the top layer of plastic has become soft and can be easily cut with a knife, like plasticine. Align all the seams, cutting off the excess, and once again go through the brush with DCM.

And here is the result:

Finally, let's look inside the 3D pen.

Remove the black tip and unscrew one single screw.

Here you can see a ceramic nozzle with a heater and a thermistor, a short bowden tube and an extruder on a simple brushed motor. The feed is controlled by the rotation speed of the motor shaft. On the motor there is a small brass gear pushing through plastic, on the other hand, all this is pressed by a small bearing with a flat side. In general, everything is very simple, like Kalash. Yes, and remember, I wrote about the fact that you should not overheat PLA plastic. In the disassembled photo, it is noticeable that there is something red on the back of the heater, where the tube enters it. It's just PLA plastic, I painted it a little in the heating mode for ABS, and it became so liquid that it went in the opposite direction. If this is abused, then I think a lot of it can accumulate there and this will lead to overheating and failure of the handle. Be careful.

In conclusion, I would like to say that earlier, when I didn't have a pen, I was angry… I'm sorry. :) Before, when I didn't have such a pen, I used a soldering iron to close the damaged seal. A soldering iron with temperature control helped a lot. But ... you understand - this is not the best tool for repair. You need to hold the soldering iron with one hand, feed the rod with the other, and hold the part itself with the third. Another option is to chemically dissolve the plastic and seal the gaps. But when the solution dries, it shrinks a lot and dips appear. Ideally, it turns out with a 3D pen. Among the shortcomings of the pen itself, I will note only 12 V power supply. Since now there are already 5 V pens and you can carry them with you, and power them from a USB battery, it is more convenient than sitting at the outlet.
