This is a pen that allows you to make almost anything in 3D. The illustration on the side of the box can be made in a few minutes others will take a lot longer and maybe even require some artistic talent to create but the basic process is simple.

In the box is the pen rather like a thick biro at 15.5cm long, it is near diagonal in shape with the sides 1.5cm wide. There are two buttons 2.5cm from the tip. At the back is where the mains lead is connected as well as where the filament strips are inserted.

The strips are 25cm long; the box contains three different packs each with five strips each of five colours so if my maths are correct that is 18.75 metres of filament which should build quite a few items.

The instruction manual is 25x7cm and the first fourteen pages in English in a clear easy to read font.

There is also another book 25x9cm this is in full colour, it is thirty six pages and shows how to make a number of models including The Eiffel Tower which possibly you would aim at after a while and templates are in the book.

There is a Quick Start Guide on the inside of the fold out lid.

Perhaps the best guide for a tool like this are YouTube Videos which can be found at youtube.com/3doodler

3doodler.com has ‘hundreds of templates’.

There are Apps on the iOS or Android stores to download to your SmartPhone, however these are not essential all you need to start creating is in the box.

I am surprised there is no age recommendation on the box as the pen tip gets hot. My own recommendation for unattended use would be around eight year olds, younger with a parent or responsible adult present.

3Doodler create+ is available from Amazon for £59.99.
