3DP-PEND-02 user manual

Read before the first use:

 The tip of the pen can become quite hot! While the pen is used, please, do not touch the tip or

the surrounding area.

 The hot tip of the pen might damage the painted surfaces, plastic, clothes etc.
 The pen is not suitable for children under 8 years old unless they are supervised by adults.
 Once the pen is no longer used, please, unload the filament, unplug and put the device into the

pen holder.

 Do not use the pen in wet places where it can into contact with water due to a potential threat of

electric shock.

 It is highly recommended to use this pen only with original Gembird3 filament.

Product overview:

Operation guidelines:

Step 1: power supply

Connect the adapter to the power outlet, then plug the adapter connector into the power source
hole of the pen. The LED next to the screen will then turn yellow to indicate that the device is on.

Step 2: selection of filament type

LED screen would display “PLA” or “ABS”, press the “material/temperature button” to choose the
correct filament type.

Step 3: preheating

Press “wire feeding” button, the LED next to the screen would turn red to indicate entering
pre-heating mode. LED screen would then display the actual nozzle temperature. Once the LED
turns green, this indicates that preheating is completed (it takes about 30 seconds to pre-heat).

Step 4: extrusion speed selection

Press “speed control buttons” to choose the extrusion speed (speed 5 is default speed, speed 8 is
fastest). These buttons only work when there is no extrusion (LED screen is green).

Step 5: load filament

Insert the filament into the “wire feeding hole” at the end of the pen and press “feeding button” to
load the filament. Once the melted filament appears at the tip of the pen, you can start drawing.

Step 6: drawing

Please, select a proper extrusion speed before you start drawing (see step 4 above). Note that
different color of the same type of filament might have different melting temperature. You may
consider to slightly adjust the temperature according to the filament.

Step 7: continuous and intermittent extrusion mode

To use the continuous extrusion mode: press the “feeding button” once. The pen will then extrude
and feed the filament automatically all the time. Press the “feeding button” again and the feeding
would stop for up to 8 minutes. To switch the intermittent extruding mode on double click the
“feeding button” and hold it on. Then the pen would start the extrusion. Release the button to pause
the extrusion.

Step 8: change/unload filament

Make sure LED screen is green, then press and hold the “unload button” for 3 seconds, then
release it. The pen would then start unloading the filament. Once filament no longer moves
backward, gently pull it out of the pen and then press the “unload button” again to stop the
unloading. Note: it is highly recommended to unload the filament when pen is not in use.

Changing filament:

 The proper filament ending must be flat as shown on the picture above for optimal drawing

results.

 If you wish to change the filament color (keeping the same filament type) you can then either

use “continuous feeding” or unload, then load again. In both cases, please, make sure the
ending of the filament remains flat as shown on the picture above.

 If you wish to change the filament type (e.g. PLA to ABS), then first unload the filament, restart

the pen (unplug it from the power supply and then plug it in again), and then press the
“material/temperature button” to change the filament type.

Adjusting the temperature manually:

Different color filament might have slightly different melting point. In order to improve the drawing
quality, please, follow the rules below:
 With the proper temperature the extruded filament should be smooth, proper bright color and

without bubbles (a bubble might happen occasionally).

 If during use you hear some noise that indicates that the temperature is too high, try to decrease

the temperature by 8-15 ℃.

 If during use you are getting lots of bubbles that also indicates that the temperature is too high,

try to decrease the temperature by 8-15 ℃.

 If the color of the extruded filament looks pale and the motor makes coughing sounds that

indicates that the temperature is too low. Try to increase the temperature by 8-15 ℃.

 If (using PLA material) the extruded filament becomes too thin and soft that also indicates that

the temperature is too low. Try to increase the temperature by 8-15 ℃.
