The 3Doodler Create+ is the stuff of childhood fantasy, anyone who ever watched Penny Crayon would have dreamed of being able to draw someone and the physically pick it up as a 3D object, well with this super cool pen does exactly that. The Create+ is available in Marine Blue or Arctic White and comes with everything you need to get started, the 3Doodler Create+ 3D Printing Pen, 3 packs of ABS & PLA 3mm 3Doodler plastic refills in 15 colours (that's 600ft/180m of Doodling “ink”), the Ultimate Guide of Doodling with 5 projects, a user manual, power adaptor and a set of tools. The Create+ features a dual drive, to help produce an ultra-smooth motion, it has improved control in fast and slow speeds for different Doodling techniques, and now has a more reliable performance with different plastic types as well as a more durable construction than its predecessors. Doodling is intuitive to use, with a little practise you will get the hang of it very quickly, suitable for hobbyists, DIYers, designers, or even professional artist, and can be used to create and fix. The plastic rods go into the pen, melt and the harden almost instantly on exit, this means you need to move at a fair pace as it is easy to block the end with hardened plastic (this will still happen to you at some point but there are instructions on how to fix it). You can draw 3D structures, freehand or on stencils, the plastic is non-toxic PLA, ABS and FLEXY plastics, your creations can stretch as far as your imagination, it can be used to decorate (even on fabric), personalise, create art and even fix things, there is loads of inspiration available online too. There is so much fun to be had with the Create+, the replacement plastic rods are available from $7.99 for single pack up to $39.99 for multipacks and there are loads of colours to choose from. The 3Doodler Create+ is a wonderful gadget for creative and non-creatives a like, I mean, your stuff might look a little wonky, but you will have a wicked time making it. RRP £79.99
