Main functions. Preparation for work

- a device that allows you to draw three-dimensional figures. But before you start creating three-dimensional masterpieces, you need to learn how to use the device. It is advisable to watch a video about working with a 3d pen and read the instructions attached to the device.

Beginning of work

After removing the device from the box, you need to make sure that all the elements of the 3D handle are in place. The user should have the device itself, a wire for connecting it to the mains, plastic for drawing. You also need to figure out what each button on the body of the gadget is for.

Standard set of buttons, indicators and connectors

• Power indicator.
• A lit LED indicates that the device is connected to the mains.
• The device is ready to draw indicator.
• Lights up when the handle heats up to operating temperature.
• Connector for loading filament.
• It is located at the top of the device. Therefore, the material loaded into the device does not interfere with the user drawing.
• Connector for cable.
• Located at the top of the device. How to connect the power supply is described in detail in the instructions that are included in all boxes.
• Plastic forward push button.
• When pressed, the thread is fed into the nozzle and squeezed out.
• Filament return button.
• Unloads a thread from the device. The peculiarity of the button is that it does not work immediately. It needs to be held for a few seconds. The delay was made to avoid the situation of plastic return due to accidental pressing of the button.
• Temperature regulator.
• The user can independently increase and decrease the melting temperature of the filament. As a rule, all knobs have buttons: "+" to increase and "-" to decrease.
• Button or slider for switching filament feeding speeds.
• The principle of operation of a 3D pen provides the ability to create both thin and wide strokes. To get a thin line, the device must work at a low speed; if you need to draw a thick line, the speed must be increased.

After the user is familiar with the basics of using a 3D pen, you can start creating drawings.

But first it is required to conduct preparatory work:

1. Connect the power cable.
2. Wait until the device heats up, the indicator on the case will notify about this.
3. Insert the thread of the chosen color into the plastic compartment.
4. Select the plastic feed rate during operation.
5. Start drawing.

Features of working with the device

For beginners, the technique of working with a 3d pen may seem difficult due to its rapid solidification in air. In addition, it is impossible to recommend the same heating temperature for plastic, which would suit all users. Choosing the optimal filament heating and feed rate comes with practice.

After heating the device, do not touch its nozzle - there is a risk of burns. Therefore, the instructions on how to use a 3D pen indicate that you cannot touch it while working. But the plastic after leaving the nozzle, although it cools down quickly, remains plastic for some time.

The principle of operation of the device

The principle of operation of a 3d pen is simple. After turning on the device and filling it with working material, the plastic thread heats up. When you press the plastic feed button, it comes out with a thin thread under pressure. After exiting the nozzle, the working material solidifies, as it is exposed to cold ambient air.

Despite the fact that the drawing device is durable, you need to know how to use the 3d pen correctly so as not to break it. One of the most common breakdowns is plastic sticking inside the device. This usually happens due to the fact that the user left the entire thread in the handle or did not switch the temperature. It is important not to allow the entire thread to go into the handle, when you have 2-3 centimeters left, you need to pull out the remaining thread and insert a new one. You also need to keep track of what kind of plastic you are drawing and remember to switch the temperature if you are using different types. If these rules are not followed, a breakdown may occur and you will have to go to service center... If you draw a lot, then after some time, your pen may get clogged with a nozzle, which can be cleaned with a special

You don't need any special skills to draw with a 3D pen. In children, the magic marker develops motor skills, imagination and spatial thinking. By purchasing it for professional activities, you will be able to create three-dimensional models right in front of the customer. The devices are useful even in everyday life, helping to glue and repair plastic items.

Everyone, from five-year-olds, is showing interest in 3D pens. It’s so interesting to create drawings that “come to life” before our eyes. Moreover, even the lack of the ability to draw is not a problem. With the help of stencils and templates, you can easily make not only a simple toy, but also make a working model of a car or build a model of an entire city.

If this is your first time using gadgets

For volumetric modeling, it is better to do a little testing before starting work:

1. Connect the power cord.
2. Wait for the indicators on the case to notify you of readiness for operation and the achievement of the desired temperature regime (change color).
3. Insert the plastic into the loading slot.
4. Move the thread feed button to the desired position.
5. Place the gadget in working position.

Now you can try to switch the plastic feed rates in order to understand the principle of the process: the higher it is, the thicker the resulting image lines.

What can be drawn with a 3D pen

With a 3D marker, you can draw literally anything:

• toys;
• objects around us;
• costume jewelry;
• accessories;
• layouts and models of real objects and things;
• sculptures and portraits.

Starting with simple shapes, you will be able to create real masterpieces in the future.

How to use a 3D pen

The products of the well-known manufacturer MyRiwell are very popular. They fit comfortably in the hand, are lightweight and easy to operate. In addition to decent performance, 3D Myriwell gadgets are distinguished by their original design and affordable price. Consumable material is ABS or PLA plastic.

A standard set is packed in the box together with the handle:

• instruction and warranty card;
• stencils for drawing;
• set of consumables (3 colors);
• charger (12V).

Skillful hands can create amazing volumetric things with the help of 3D pens. A little workout and you will succeed!

For example, consider how to draw a 3d house with a pen

• The most primitive option that kids draw: mark a rectangular base on a sheet of paper, stretch vertical lines through the air from its corners and connect it all with a roof.
• A more "adult" volumetric house is easiest to draw using a stencil, filling the contours of the details with layers of plastic. Then glue all the elements together using a 3D marker.
• Another, more complex way to create volumetric shapes. Here you can feel like a real architect. We draw a solid foundation of the future house with a 3D marker on a sheet. We create a frame of the structure from paper.

Drawing with a 3D pen- a fun process that does not require serious professional skills, so even children and novice artists can quickly learn how to use this device. The main thing that is needed to obtain aesthetically beautiful and correct figures is skill and experience.

Preparation for work

Before working with a 3D pen, you should carefully study the instructions for the product, purchase sufficient quantities of the necessary expendable materials and cook workplace... Better if it is a table surface, not filled with anything superfluous. When modeling a three-dimensional figure, you will need space above the table, so free hand movement and unhindered connection of the ends of the plastic threads in the air are extremely important. Awkward movements can bend or deform the line as the plastic cures.

Modern 3D pens they fit quite comfortably in the hand, drawing with them resembles the work of an ordinary pen. The 3D pen usually has a display that shows the heating temperature and the plastic feed rate.

Basic elements on the 3D pen:

• Plastic feed button (forward button) on the heating element is located on the left side of the handle: for right-handed people - directly under the thumb, for left-handers, respectively, under the index finger. This button is the main one when working with a 3D pen, it is she who "squeezes" the plastic out of the handle.
• Back button(next to the feed button) - pulls the filament out of the handle. It works only after holding it for a few seconds to avoid accidental clicks.
• On the right side of the handles are located buttons for switching the speed of plastic feeding. 3D pen from ANRO technology supports up to 6 plastic feed speeds. Together with the temperature control setting, the various speeds allow for any design, from small details to wide strokes.
• Temperature adjustment buttons located near the top of the display. A plus sign is an increase in temperature, a minus sign is a decrease. If you press the temperature adjustment buttons at the same time, the knob will switch to the plastic type selection mode: ABS or PLA (for different types plastic requires different heating temperatures).
• Display. It displays data on the current speed, type of plastic, current temperature and set temperature. All indicators can be monitored and changed in real time.

If you do not use the handle for 2 minutes, it will go into standby mode, to resume work, just press any of the buttons.

Getting started with a 3D pen

• First, visually inspect the handle for obvious damage.
• Plug the power adapter into a regular power outlet and into the 3D pen itself. The power connector is located in the thickest part of the 3D pen body. There is also a hole for the filament. After connecting the power, the handle will be in command standby mode.
• Before starting work, set the required heating temperature by pressing the "plus" - "minus" buttons (if you hold down the button, you can quickly change the temperature values). For PLA plastic, the operating temperature is from 160 ° C to 200 ° C, for ABS - from 200 ° C to 240 ° C.
• To start work, press the temperature supply button (forward button). The handle hot end will begin heating. The display will show the temperature in fraction: for example, 88/160 ° C. The first number indicates the current temperature, the second - the set temperature. Heating takes place in less than a minute.
• After heating, you can insert the filament. It is advisable to cut the end of the thread so that it is even, and also straighten the thread a little so that it is easier to insert into the handle. After inserting the thread into the hole, you need to press the "forward" button to feed the plastic, and hold the thread until the plastic begins to come out of the nozzle.
• Now you can start drawing. After finishing work, it is better to get the plastic out of the handle.

Features of working with a 3D pen

Before using the 3D pen in work, it should be heated to the desired temperature. Selection of the optimal temperature regime, as well as speed- a matter of experience, training and skill. Each individual tool has to be adjusted individually. This only happens in the course of practical operations for use. The heating rate depends on the environment.

Plastic exit from the nozzle starts a few seconds after pressing the plastic feed button. At medium feed rates, the plastic cools down very quickly. At the same time, it remains plastic for some time and can be laid with your fingers without risking burns. At a high temperature and feed rate, the plastic may not have time to quickly solidify when drawing in air, however, you can simply blow on it and it will solidify much faster. Practicing in drawing with a 3D pen, you can adapt and choose for yourself optimal settings and the ratio of temperature and speed.

Plastic does not stick to ordinary office paper or easily peels off (it can stick to coated paper). In order for the plastic to stick better to glass or metal, it is better to degrease the surface in advance, wipe it, and even better - make it rough.

Remember, by no means no need to touch the hot nozzle (hot-end) of the handle during operation! With prolonged use, the tip of the pen gets hot enough to burn yourself! The operating buttons and the place where the hand is located do not heat up in any way. In the power saving mode, the handle cools down quickly enough - 5-10 minutes.

Practice on 1D Images

Before drawing 3D shapes with a pen, it is advisable to practice creating one-dimensional drawings on a horizontal plane. To do this, put a sheet of Whatman paper on the horizontal surface of the table, think over the plot of the drawing (you can apply a pencil outline on the Whatman paper for the first experiment) and translate it into reality. By drawing along the lines with the tip of the nozzle at the desired speed, you will create a contour object made of plastic that you can pick up, hang on the wall, or turn in any direction. In this way, for example, you can make:

• fancy plastic snowflakes for Christmas tree decoration,
• pendants and earrings,
• small toys,
• decorative interior details and much more.

Using this technology, you can decorate a table mirror or a photo frame with openwork lace by choosing the desired color.

From simple to complex - drawing 3D objects

When the hand is already full of one-dimensional objects, you can try to make a stereometric figure, for example, a contour volumetric prism or pyramid. To do this, an equilateral triangle is drawn on paper, from the vertices of which vertical or oblique edges are formed with plastic threads. Three oblique ribs, connected at the top of the vertical axis, form the body of the pyramid. For the prism, vertical edges are drawn, which are connected at the end and form the upper face in the form of the same equilateral triangle as at the base.

Flat squares and triangles and the skill of quickly drawing them will be required in the future if you need to create, for example, a three-dimensional model of a house, cottage, gazebo, bathhouse. With the help of a 3D pen, such architectural patterns (mockups) are easy and simple to create.

Nowadays, 3D TV and glasses are no longer news for anyone. This technology already quite tightly entered the life of ordinary people. Almost everyone can afford such a TV. However, despite the fact that instructions are attached to the TV and glasses, many still wonder how to use the 3D glasses?

Including a 3D movie on a special TV, while using glasses, many cannot achieve the desired effect. Instead of a three-dimensional picture, viewers see only a dull, incomprehensible image. Because of this, many are disappointed in 3D TVs, without even trying to solve this problem.

1. How to use 3D glasses

In order to understand how to use 3D glasses correctly, you need to understand how they work and how the technology of three-dimensional image itself works. This will allow you to understand how the TV and glasses work, which in turn will help the viewer understand how to properly use the glasses.

So, the essence of the technology is to provide two slightly different pictures - for each eye its own image. Thus, the brain receives two pictures, two versions of the same object. The brain combines these pictures and creates one volumetric image. It is due to the fact that a person has two eyes that we can estimate the approximate dimensions of real objects, their height, width and depth.

Today there are three image separation technologies:

• Anaglyph;
• Polarizing;
• Active.

Only certain glasses are suitable for each of these technologies. For example, there are shutter glasses for active technology. If the video clip has anaglyph image separation, then anaglyph glasses (blue and red lenses) should be used to achieve a 3D effect. Accordingly, passive (polarizing) glasses are used for polarizing image separation.

1.1. Shutter 3D glasses

Active (or as they are also called - shutter) 3D glasses have this name, because each lens has a shutter that can close and open more than 150 times per second. The essence of their work is that at the time of watching a movie, the shutters open and close in turn, giving each eye separate image.

Everything happens so quickly that the viewer does not have time to understand anything, but the brain receives two pictures and turns them into one three-dimensional image. You can use these glasses only with a certain TV that has an infrared transmitter that sends signals to the glasses. Everything happens in the same way as with the remote control.

Setting up 3D Shutter Glasses is straightforward. To do this, they just need to be turned on and synchronized with the TV. In this case, on the TV itself, you need to select the image dividing method that corresponds to the dividing method in the movie itself. Only then will you be able to enjoy the full 3D image.

1.2. Polarized 3D glasses

Polarized glasses do not require any adjustment before viewing. You only need to set up the TV itself. In the settings, you must select the method for dividing the image. There are 4 methods of passive separation:

• Vertical stereo pair;
• Horizontal stereopair;
• Frame-by-frame stereo pair;
• Interlaced stereo pair.

It doesn't matter which method is used, as long as the TV settings match the video being played. The essence of the technology lies in the fact that the video itself is divided into two streams. Each of their streams has a different polarization - vertical and horizontal. The lenses in the glasses also have different polarizations. In other words, for example, the right lens completely blocks the stream of vertically polarized video and transmits it horizontally. The left lens, on the other hand, transmits the vertically polarized video stream, blocking the horizontally polarized video.

Thus, each eye sees a separate image. Then the brain turns two different pictures into a 3D image.

1.3. Anaglyph 3D glasses

Anaglyph 3D glasses work in the same way as polarized glasses. The only difference is that the separation of the video stream is not polarized. If you look at anaglyph video without glasses, you will see a blurry image with blue and red shadows.

The glasses have blue and red lenses. Thanks to this, the shadows are completely removed by the glasses, and the 2D video is converted into 3D.

Anaglyph glasses, like polarized ones, do not require any synchronization or adjustments. All picture settings are made on the TV itself, so that it performs picture dividing by the right technology whether polarized, anaglyph or active glasses.

2. 3D on SMART TV Samsung 6710 without Blu-ray player: Video

It should be borne in mind that to watch 3D movies, you will need to download a 3D movie. Most modern TV models are not capable of converting ordinary video into three-dimensional. Of course, some manufacturers already advertise TVs that have such capabilities, but there are only a few of them, and they cost decently. Therefore, do not forget that a 3D TV with appropriate glasses is not enough. A dedicated video is also required.

2.1. How to clean the 3D glasses

Many people wonder how to wipe 3D glasses? After all, they, like ordinary sunglasses, also get dirty and can peel. The answer is simple. You can wipe it with the same wipes as regular glasses. Of course, there are special wet wipes for 3D glasses, however, this is nothing more than a marketing ploy.

In order for the glasses to last as long as possible and not get scratched, you should handle them with care. Clean best with a microfiber cloth. This is a material that does not scratch the lenses, perfectly removing dust and grease stains. At the same time, you should not get carried away with wiping, since even the softest materials leave micro-scratches.

Over time, there are more of them. In addition, the polarizing film can also wear off over time. Of course, this will take more than one year, but nevertheless, with proper care, you can significantly extend the life of your glasses.
