If you are just starting out with using 3D pens, you will find working with project stencils from the official community portal to be more enjoyable than freehand drawing. However, as your confidence grows, you can create more original items. On the other hand, the Start+ is ideal for projects on the move and it’s also a little easier to handle. Design - The first 3D pens were very bulky and slightly cumbersome, which did make them more challenging to hold and manage. As technology is advancing, pens are becoming slimmer and more ergonomic in design so that they are easier to carry, direct, and control. Many pens are now compact in design and can also be conveniently recharged via USB, which is a significant advantage. The design of a pen plays a massive part in how natural it feels when you hold it in your hand. Ideally, you want something lightweight and ergonomic but also a pen design that features a visible filament window so that you can see how much ink you have left to work with. The 3Doodler Create 2.0 design has been improved to a sleek, shiny metal look. The 3D pen weighs 1.8 ounces, is much slimmer and looks like the conventional pens. The slimmer body allows a firm grip, enabling you to create and excellent doodles and drawings. A flexible rubbery grip at the tip makes the pen easy to hold.

While both pens can be used to draw some simple objects, the 3Doodler Start+ is much more suited to kids aged 6 to 13 years. Along with the high and low temperature settings, you can adjust the extrusion speed to fast and slow with the two buttons at the bottom of the pen, ideally right where your index finger would be as you draw. As you can see from their different designs, the Create and Start are directed at slightly different age groups. The pen comes with 50 filaments of plastic in various colors that equal 400 feet of plastic. You power up the pen and then wait for it to heat up before using it. This process takes about 60 to 90 seconds. A light switches from red to green when it's ready to go.

Optimized temperature control ensures more reliable performance with all 3Doodler ABS, PLA, FLEXY Plastics Almost anything that you can draw on a piece of paper can also be turned into a 3D model to visualize the object better. Final Thoughts If you are new to 3D pen drawing, you should expect a few failed attempts for your first creations. However, in minutes, you will be using the 3Doodler Create just fine. Saying this, both 3D pens are a great option for education. They are small enough to carry them around and easy enough to store. Decorate–A handmade piece for your wall, decoration for your next party, candle holders to outdoor coasters. You’ll be amazed at the useful stuff you can make now that you’re armed with a 3Doodler.

The Start pen which is battery-powered worked much better in this way. I also felt more comfortable letting my young kids use it without needing to watch them closely because of the heat safe rubber tip. Generally, both pens work in the same way. You put your plastic filament into the end of the 3D pen and the pen melts the plastic. The 3Doodler Create+ allows creatives to instantly draw a 3D print with their own hands. Using the pen is easy and fun, and printouts are lightweight and flexible yet strong enough to last.

They allow kids to express themselves, and with some guidance from adults, children can familiarize themselves with 3D printing. Where Can You Use The 3Doodler Pens? I enjoyed the range of filament colors (there's even a clear plastic one, which looks sweet) but you can't really change them out until you use the current filament up or reverse it out of the pen, which is time-consuming. I found it easier to create designs with just one or two colors. I tested the Juku 3Doodler (my first time using one) and had a lot of fun with the product, even though I realized early on there was definitely a learning curve. Despite its name, the 3Doodler works best when you have a plan in mind. Drawing in 3D is a skill that will be new for most people. In my initial attempts with the 3Doodler, I defaulted to writing in 2D. But the process gets easier every time you use it. When the 3Doodler Create plastic filament is loaded, simply press the pen nozzle to the paper and start drawing. One of the biggest differences between the Start and Create pen is that the Start is powered by battery.You can then easily draw the plastic on paper, glass, metal or other surfaces. This concept is similar to that of a hot glue gun, just with thinner, colored filament.
