Important Tips and Notes

• Pressing the load or withdraw button once will exit continuous
feed mode.
• This 3D pen can be used with power banks that output at least
2 amps. This way you are not tethered to a wall outlet.
• Depending on the filament being used, plastic may continue to
extrude slightly after the feed button is released. This effect is
often more pronounced with PLA, and is a symptom of commercial
3D printers as well. Decreasing the temperature slightly can help.
• It is advised to only use the withdraw button when changing
filament. If filament is only partially withdrawn it can deform in the
barrel and the pen will not extrude. If this happens you should fully
withdraw the filament and cut off the deformed section.
• Filament quality varies greatly, and even reputable brands can
release bad batches. If your 3D pen is behaving abnormally, a
good first step is to try another roll of filament. Also, ABS and PLA
filament are damaged by excess humidity. It is good practice to
store your filament in a sealed and dry location.
• If you believe your nozzle is clogged, back out the filament and
cut a new end. Then unscrew the end of the pen to check if there
is a piece that can be removed. If it's still clogged, send an email to
support@mynt3d.com and we will try to assist or replace your pen
if it's still in the 1 year warranty.
• When changing from PLA to ABS filament, the nozzle may emit
a small amount of smoke from the increased temperature. PLA
is plant-based and does not release any toxic fumes when
over-heated.
