Q: Does this get too hot for kids hands when using?

submitted by Ileana - 2 years ago

  • A: Its just be like a glue gun doesn't get hot

    submitted byGreg - 1 year ago

  • A: It does not heat up at all. The only thing that heats up, just a little bit, is the tip but its just slightly warm. It will not cause any burns.

submitted by Mary - 2 years ago

  • A: I agree with the other answer it would include just a little bit but not peanuts

Q: What can you tell me about charging the battery? For example: Do I need to charge before using for the first time? Once charged, can it be used for an hour? Can it be used WHILE it's being charged?

submitted by carmen - 4 years ago

  • A: Hi Carmen! Begin by charging your 3Doodler Start+ to ensure the motor is able to run at full power. This will take 45 minutes to 2 hours. Do not use the 3Doodler Start+ while charging. The light will flash orange while charging, and will turn solid orange once it is fully charged. Once fully charged, your 3Doodler Start+ will run wirelessly for 45-60 minutes.

Safe and easy to use, fun, creative!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 3D printing pen has quickly became a family favorite! My son absolutely loves it, and it’s a great way for him to improve his motor skills, creativity, art, skills, and even basic scientific skills. There are so many different projects you can create with it. At first, I was a little skeptical about the safety since it uses heat. However after using it several times I feel very comfortable with it. The tool itself does not get hot, and it feels sturdy and easy to use. It’s also mess free and gives you good control while creating different designs. My husband and I are enjoying using this pen too, so it has become something that we can enjoy together. You can make all kinds of fun 3D projects and the printing sticks last through multiple projects. Overall, we really love this 3D printing pen. It is fun,creative, easy to use and great activity for the whole family.

Fun to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pen is pretty awesome. It's wireless which is a huge plus AND it doesn't get hot so it's super easy and convenient to use. The only downside is the filament doesn't come back out if you've used too much of it so you have to use the entire string which wastes a lot of color.

So much fun and easy for my 8 year old

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son and I had so much fun learning to help to use the 3-D pad and it was actually easier than we thought. Love that how creative this can be so easy for my eight year-old to figure out how to use the pen himself definitely you can create so many unique ideas. The guidebook is there to help you if you want to practice and make things.

Kids favorite activity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids are enjoying creating 3D images. It is easy to use and it is safe for my 7 and 9 year old. Once you understand how the pen works it is easy to use. I love that it comes with guides and videos. It does not create a mess which I love more.

Fun for kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3Doodler Start+ essentials 3D printing pen set is so much fun for kids! My 7 and 12 year old love to play with it. It is nicer than other brands we’ve tried because it is wireless- no cords are needed to use it so you can bring it with you on the go if you want! It only needs plugged in to charge and the battery lasts for a long time. The only negative is that it seems like a lot of the filament gets wasted. I’m not sure how to prevent that. Overall, it’s a win for my kiddos!
1 reply from 3Doodler Customer Support team - 8 days ago
We're so glad you're enjoying the Start+ Pen. There is a learning curve so over time the filament that seems wasted will lesson. The good news is that the filament is made of biodegradable material. And it can be melted and reused as sculpting clay!

Soooo much fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time trying anything like this. This 3Doodler Printing Pen Set is so much fun! Really will get your creative juices flowing. I enjoyed it as much as my kiddos! It’s super easy to use. You just put the stand into pen, wait a few seconds (for me it took literally 5 seconds) and your 3D printing pen is ready for use. I love that it comes with its USB cord and you can just charge it instead of buying batteries, and it comes with 72 colorful strands which will last for forever. We really enjoyed playing and crwating with this! Love it!

So much fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 3Doodler is super cool! My kids were so excited to try! This pen charges super fast and last quite a while. It works just like a hot glue gun. You can push the button once and it continuously comes out until you push the button again. It is very quiet when running. I love that it comes with patterns to trace in the book that comes in the box. It also come with a lot of extra plastic refills! I would definitely recommend

7 year old approved!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7 year old is obsessed! He’s been playing with this doodler for over a hour now. He loves being able to create 3D designs and using his imagination. This toy is fun, creative, and keeps him engaged. The doodler appears to be well built- it’s easy to put the strands in- he was able to do it himself.

So much fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids had an absolute blast playing with this. I love the fact that it came with his own charger. It comes with plenty of filament to play with, and it’s easy to re-order. I also like the fact that the book had outlines that you could trace to help you practice and understand how to make bigger and better things my daughter love making her glasses and my son love me on the Eiffel Tower. I love the fact that I don’t have to worry about them burning themselves because the pen stays cool to the touch the battery last a decent amount of time enough for my son to build his Eiffel Tower and my daughter to make her glasses. I love all the different colors that it comes with to be able to make a wide variety of different things. This definitely can keep them busy for hours on the end, using their imagination and even practicing their writing skills.
