3Doodler create+ Mode D'emploi page 6

1. My Pen won't turn on!
(Light doesn't turn on)
Let's double check the following:
A. Is the Power Adapter plugged into a working power outlet?
NOTE:
If you have a spare power adapter around the house please
use it to test your 3Doodler Create+. This will help determine if
the problem is with your 3Doodler Create+ or with the Power
Adapter provided in the box.
B. Is the end of the Power
Adapter connected to the
correct part of the Pen?
2. My Plastic is extruding but it
won't stick to the paper, or is
curling up around the Nozzle.
Stop extruding and start
again using the following
instructions:
When the Plastic resumes
extruding, push the Nozzle
firmly down into the paper,
allowing Plastic to stick to the
surface.
Drag the Plastic along the
paper or surface in a continuous
unbroken line as if you were
writing with a pencil.
Keep your movement slow and
steady. The Plastic should hold
to the paper and not curl up
around the Nozzle.
3. My Plastic is not extruding from
my 3Doodler Create+.
3A. Plastic not engaging properly with the Drive Gear:
Gently push until you feel the strand pulled through the Drive
Gear on its own.
If the above does not work, reverse the Plastic fully from the Pen.
(See Section 2, Step 6) Snip ends, then reinsert and try again.
If Plastic is too short to be removed from the Pen, move to 3B.
3B. Plastic is too short to be removed from the Pen:
Try unscrewing the Nozzle and
using the Unblocking Tool.
While Pen is hot (BLUE or
GREEN Light on), use Mini
Spanner to unscrew and
remove Nozzle anti-clockwise.
While using the Reverse feature
of the 3Doodler Create+, insert
Unblocking Tool through open
front end of Pen and gently
push any excess Plastic out
through the back of the Pen.
C. Make sure the Control
Switch on your 3Doodler
Create+ is not set to OFF.

3C. Plastic may be wrapped
around the Drive Gear.
Remove Maintenance Cover
using Mini Screwdriver
provided in the box.
Use the Mini Screwdriver
or Unblocking Tool to lift
and release Plastic from the
Drive Gear and out of the Pen
through the open area beneath
the Maintenance Cover or
from the Plastic Loading Port.
4. My Plastic is leaking from
around the Nozzle.
Nozzle may loosen with
continued usage (or in transit).
While Pen is hot (BLUE or
GREEN Light on), gently turn
Nozzle clockwise to tighten
it using the Mini Spanner
provided. Stop tightening once
you first feel resistance so as
to avoid over-tightening the
Nozzle and breaking it.
5. My Plastic won't stop extruding.
A. Click either the FAST or SLOW button once.
B. If Step A does not solve this problem, please unplug your
3Doodler Create+ and then plug it in and try again.
6. How do I reverse my
unused Plastic?
While the Pen is on and hot (BLUE or GREEN Light), double click
either the FAST or SLOW button. Light will start flashing to signal
the Plastic is reversing. Once the Plastic stops reversing, it is safe
to remove it from the Pen by gently pulling on the back of the
strand.
If Plastic is too short to reverse, see Section 3, Step 3B.
Snip the ends of your Plastic now for easier loading
TIP
and Doodling later.
7. I have reversed my Plastic but
cannot get it out.
It is possible that the Plastic is either too short to reverse all the
way out of your 3Doodler Create+, or that the Plastic has moved
past the Pen's Drive Gear system.
You will be able to check for these issues by looking through the
Maintenance Cover.
Plastic reversed, but too short to take out and no longer in
contact with the Drive Gear.
Plastic is beyond Drive Gear.
For both of these issues, you can try the following options:
• Insert a new strand of Plastic or Unblocking Tool to push the
remaining Plastic through while Pen is ON and extruding.
Unblocking Tool
Or
• While using the Reverse feature of the 3Doodler Create+, remove
Nozzle and use Unblocking Tool to push Plastic out the back of
the Pen. (See Section 3, Step 3B).
