Features and Controls of your Scrib3D P1 3D Pen

Getting Started

  1. Connect the AC Adapter to an outlet. Plug the AC Adapter Plug into the Power Socket of the pen. The power indicator light should become yellow. (Note: this 3D pen can be used with a 3rd party power bank with at least 2 Amps output)
  2. "ABS" or "PLA" will show on the Display, you can use the Temperature Up/Down Buttons to select a mode. Choose a mode that corresponds to the type of plastic you are using. (Note: using the wrong mode with the wrong plastic will make for a poor experience and possibly damage your pen)
  3. Press the Forward Button to activate the selected mode. You can use the Temperature Up/Down 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. The
    Temperature Indicator Light will be red while heating up and will turn green when the pen is ready.
  4. Once the Temperature Indicator Light has turned to Green, you can double click or hold down the ForwardButton (Note: best to have the speed at max). 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!

For the best results
When using your Scrib3D P1 3D Pen you will find the best results for drawing at object and on surface from holding the pen at an angle of 65 dagrees or higher.
Hold the pen at an angle of 65 dagrees or higher.

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 in Troubleshooting.
.
  • 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 If only partially withdrawn, filament can swell in the pen and create jams.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.
