Learn the basics

The more you make, the more you will realize how much there is to learn. That’s why we’ve put together a guide on the basics to help you out if you’re still a beginner or just need to re-fresh on some of the basics.

 Layers

The first thing you need to learn about creating with 3D pens is how layers are created. Understanding how layers are formed, how to build on that, and how to set sides will lead you to perfect projects.
