SCRIB3D Advanced Manual

Product Overview

Getting Started

  1. Connect the AC Adapter to an outlet. Plug the USB Power cord into the AC Adapter. Plug the barrel end into the Power socket of the pen.
    (Note: this 3D Pen can be used with a 3rd party power bank with at least 2 Amps output)
    Getting Started - Step 1
  2. "ABS" or "PLA" will show on the LCD SCREEN, you can use the temperature ADJUSTER buttons to select a mode. Choose a mode that corresponds the type of plastic you are using.
    (Note: Using the wrong plastic will make for a poor experience and possibly damage your pen)
    Getting Started - Step 2
    The Display will flash either ABS or PLA until the Forward Button is pressed to chose a mode, Then the screen will show desired temperature and current temperature. The temp LED will remain red while the pen is heating up. Once it has reached temp it will change to Green. Then you can draw. You can adjust the temperature at any time but to change from ABS to PLA un-plug the pen and plug it back in.
  3. Press the FORWARD button to activate the selected mode. You can use the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTER buttons to fine tune the temperature depending on need and desired usage. The temperature ranges are ABS: 200-230°C and PLA: 160-210°C.
  4. Once the desired temperature has been reached the LED on the pen will turn green. You can click the FORWARD button. Straighten the end of the filament you wish to use and load it into the FILAMENT LOADER while the pen is running. Once plastic starts extruding you are ready to start creating in 3D!
    Getting Started - Step 3
    Once the temperature indicator Light has changed from red to green you can load filament into the 3D pen. Straighten the filament at the end. Press and hold the Feed Button. Push the filament into the pen until you can feel it pulling it into the pen.

When using your Scrib3D Advanced 3D Pen you will find the best results for drawing flat object and on surface from holding the pen at an angle of 65 dagrees or higher.
Getting Started - Step 4

Snip those tips! when you change plastic or before you insert a new strand make sure the filament has a flat surface so it can push the previous filament. Failure to cut the end off the plastic can result in jams or pens not extruding. Check out tips on how to solve such issue.

  • We recommend only using the Reverse button when removing and changing filament. If only partially withdrawn, filament can swell in the pen and create jams. If this happens, fully withdraw the filament and cut the swollen part off.
  • Filament quality varies greatly. We always recommend using Scrib3D filament, and storing it in a sealed and dry location.
  • Plastic may continue to ooze slightly after the pen stops.

    This is more pronounced with PLA. This is a common Phenomenon (i.e. glue guns and 3D printers). If you see this happening, slightly decrease the temperature.

Temperature Tuning

  1. If when using the pen you see the plastic bubbling or you hear a crackling noise coming from the plastic your temperature might be too high. Try lowering it 5~10°C and see if that helps.
  2. Filament should come out smooth and with out much bubbling but it is normal to have some small bubbling.
  3. While some plastics like PLA are more prone to oozing, if you find that your oozing a lot of plastic you can turn the temperature down on the pen to help mitigate this. Also check that you are using the correct filament setting
  4. If the filament color looks dim and dark and you can hear the motor struggling. This means the temperature is too low increase the temperature by 5~10°C.
