How it Works:
The 3Doodler Flow melts plastic filament and uses a motor and gears to push it through the
pen’s nozzle in a thin line. This process is called extruding or extrusion, and we will refer to it
throughout this user manual. Once extruded, the filament cools and hardens quickly, allowing
you to draw on surfaces and in the air. This user manual will show you how!
We created this User
Manual as a step-by-
step guide to get you
comfortable with your
3Doodler Flow and its
features. Once you are
familiar with these steps,
you will be able to Doodle
with confidence.
