How to Draw with a 3D Pen

Drawing in 3D may seem daunting at first, but that’s only because it’s new. There is a learning curve, but with 

a bit of practice and with the tips and tricks in this guide, we promise you’ll find using a 3D pen to be second 

nature in no time!

Step 1

Place the tip of your 3D pen at the starting point of your stencil and make sure it is touching the paper. 

Engage the feed mechanism, and extrude a small bead of plastic. This little bead is what we call an “anchor point”, 

because it will hold your Doodle to the paper.

Step 2

As you continue to trace along the stencil, try to keep the extruded plastic as close as you can to the paper. To stop

Doodling, press the feed button button once, gently push down to form the ending point, wait 2-3 seconds, 

then pull your pen away.

Step 3

In order to join two pieces together, simply extrude some plastic for at the place where you want to merge the 

pieces to “weld” them into one piece.

Step 4

Once you’re done Doodling, allow the plastic to fully cool and harden for a few seconds, then gently peel it 

off the surface.
