The 3Doodler Start Essentials Pen Set is suitable for ages 6-13 years old and comes with a 3Doodler Start Pen with a USB cable, 48 3Doodler Start Plastic Strand and an activity guide containing stencils and tutorials to get you started. The plastic strands do go down pretty quickly so I would like to see more in the starter pack to make it better value for money.

Bizarrely we haven't really had a go with 3D pens before, so we were complete amateurs when we received the 3Doodler Start 3D Printing Pen for review. This kit contains a Start 3Doodler 3D pen, DoodlePad/Doodlemat, 2 packs of Start plastic mix colors (48 strands), a micro-USB charger and an activity guide.Improvements include greater control in fast/slow speeds for different Doodling techniques, more reliable performance with different plastic types, greater durability, and new monochromatic pen colors. We found the plastic cooled quickly, this made some parts of the design a little challenging for my daughter. With it being Halloween my son decided to create his own pumpkin, designing his own template and then using the 3Doodler to fill in his design. It works by feeding plastic through the pen structure, which is then melted at the tip of the pen and extruded out.

When the LED on the 3Doodler Start Pen starts slowly flashing orange then you know it needs recharging. The 3Doodler Start inspires creativity, design, planning, building and spatial understanding making it a fun and educational gift that both parents and kids will love. Recommended print surface: smooth, flexible surface; like a laminated sheet or official 3Doodler Start DoodlePad.I love the fact that the 3Doodler Start inspires creativity and imagination but also helps kids to think about design, planning and structure. There are lots more detailed 3D models to make using the pen which I think would be great for older kids but Daisy was more than happy with her simple designs.

Once you are satisfied with the transaction you can share it with the world through Trustpilot to leave positive, neutral or negative feedback. If you want your inks and toners guaranteed next business day, then Next Business Day Guaranteed is available.

If you have a child who enjoys making things, then i think this pen would be a fantastic gift for them.
