The fun in drawing in the air with 3Doodler pens was unfortunately limited to only adults for a long time since the invention of the 3D pens. Luckily Wobble Works managed to change that when they introduced the 3Doodler Start, a 3D pen specially designed for use by kids.
The features and performance of the 3Doodler Start make it the best 3D pen for kids.
3Doodler Start Features and Details
1. Ergonomic Design
The 3Doodler Start is heavier than most 3D pen models. This can, perhaps, be attributed to the battery that allows the wireless functionality and the quality of the plastic thatís hard to heat.
The pen measures 5. 4 x 1.4 x 1.6 inches and weighs 91g. However, it is still small enough for tiny hands and kids wonít strain while using it to write or draw.
2. Simple Design
The design of the 3Doodler Start has been modified to make it easy to use by children.
The pen only has 2 buttons; one for powering it on and off, and the other for initiating and stopping the extrusion of the filament. To remove the unused plastic, simply reverse it in two clicks. There are also LED lights that indicate when the pen is ready to use, and whether the flow is forward or reverse.
The 3Doodler Start comes with pre-set speed values and temperature. All you have to do is insert your filament, power up the pen and wait for 20 seconds for it to warm up before you can use it. You can then immediately start drawing shapes and patterns in the air or on a flat surface.
While the 3D pen for kids works by heating up plastic, its body does not get hot. With conventional 3D pens, the part that poses the greatest danger to kids is the nozzle. Fortunately, the nozzle of the 3Doodler Create doesnít get hot. Therefore, even if kids curiously decide to draw on their clothes or hands, they wonít get burned. It will just be like drawing with an ordinary ink pen.
3. New Eco-Plastic
One feature you will love about the 3Doodler Start for kids pen is the filament. The filament used by ordinary 3D pens does not cool until it has been ejected into the air.
With, 3Doodler Start, the filament can melt under very low temperatures, which makes the pen easy to work with. Within 20 seconds after extrusion, the child can comfortably mold the filament as itís still malleable.
4. Cool Accessories
The 3Doodler Start 3D pen comes packaged with a creative project book with templates for making simple or complex projects. With this book, your children will never run out of creative ideas on things to create.
This pen also comes with Doodle Blocks. These are mold blocks with precast patterns on their surface that kids can use for making patterns. The blocks are fun for young kids as they can draw into them using their 3Doodler Start and get a fully made design. The 3D objects can be combined to make a bigger design, for example, trains, pieces of puzzle or bracelets.
5. Burning Odor Eliminated
The 3Doodler Start filaments donít produce the burning plastic smell. They are therefore perfect for use in closed rooms. The filament is a biodegradable thermoplastic that is safe to bury in your backyard or put to decompose with your compost litter. The filament is certified environmental-friendly.
6. Wireless operation
The 3Doodler Start uses a battery that can last up to one hour on continuous use. The pen is wireless and, therefore, you shouldn’t worry about wires tagging on it, making it risky for the child. 3D pens that are powered by cables can be dangerous for kids.
Your children can also use the pen anywhere in the room instead of being stuck in the art room. The pen has a USB port where you can charge it from a computer or laptop using a USB cable. The pen takes between one to two hours to get fully charged.
7. Cool Colors
Anything colorful is sure to impress any child. 3Doodler Start filament pen comes in a variety of vibrant and bright colors. Kids find it interesting and would want to experiment with it. Thereís even an eco-plastic glow-in-the-dark filament that will spark your childís interest in art.
3Doodler Start Filament
Wobble Works has put extra safety considerations in this pen by making its filament from food grade elements. Since kids have a habit of putting everything in their mouth, you won’t have to rush them to the ER when they accidentally put the writing material in their mouth.
