Review on πŸ”₯ TENLOG Hands Pro Borosilicate TMC2208: Next-Level Precision and Performance by Nathaniel Collins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great dual extruder 3D printer for beginners too!

This is my first 3D printer and my first 3D printing experience in general. The printer arrived very well packaged and was relatively easy to assemble. The only problem I had was leveling the bed, which took a while. I used the Windows version of Cura Tenlog (4.8) available on their website and printed with the default settings. Unfortunately there is no Linux version on the Tenlog website, although this can probably be fixed by manually entering all the printer settings that are included in the Windows version. All instructions are available on their website and are also included on the SD card. I was surprised that the kit included all the tools needed for assembly, an SD card, a USB SD card reader, a scraper and two small test rollers, white and faux wood. The version I received came with a borosilicate glass layer which makes removing the print very easy. After the platform has cooled, the print can be peeled off by hand without much resistance. I am new to 3D printing and this is not a problem for me. The optional extruder requires a different alignment method that's easy, and managing the printheads on Cura is as simple as clicking on the model and then selecting the printhead you want to use. The second printhead gives you the benefit of mirror printing, which is manually selected on the printer just before printing, two different materials on the same print, and you can also delegate an extruder to help with the print, which is an added bonus when using it of PVA is. I would highly recommend this printer for beginners.

Pros
  • Borosilicate glass upgrade
Cons
  • I will add later
