How Good Is A $149 3D Printer?? | Weedo Tina2 Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- When I look at a printer on my channel it has to offer something more then just be another Cartesian 3d printer. When Weedo reached out and asked if I wanted to look at the Tina2 I said yes because of the price. The Tina2 is one of the cheaper printers on the market and it has features such as automatic bed leveling, auto resume and wifi connectivity. The idea behind the Tina2 is to help beginners get into 3D printing cheaply and easily. So I decided to have a look and I must admit its better than I thought it would be.

As a kid to print a squadron of OD green army men. I would have killed for that. lol. Would have beat the crap out of an Atari 2600
The ender 3 pro has been as low as $100 at micro center. Imo the best bang for the buck.
The 3 pro is about twice what you mentioned at standard price though. This one also has integrated bed leveling, and stuff like a BLtouch would add a good 40 bucks to that price.
But you have to build it
lol I like your stance on using it yourself given the dimensional restrictions and what would be it's primary use. Sounds solid if you want to make figurines easily tho.
I just got this for my kids. I'm am mighty impressed so far by just the basic prints. Can't wait to cut up more files. Definitely, the first is to print that bigger bracket to hold larger spools.
The reason I wanted to buy this one, is the fact that I need a small printer on my desktop to print tiny stuff. The other printers, my Artillery Sidewinder 2 pro, and an old Flash Forge Finder 2 does the heavy work, printing 24/7 at times. I love having at least on printer set up and dedicated to special types of jobs, and one for everything else.
Doing this, you avoid a lot of adjustments before starting the next job, and you know it works straight away.
I'd kinda like to know about more tips for making quality 3D prints. I'd also kinda like to know more about the kinds of features you'd look for in a 3D printer, especially if you wanted a printer with an emphases on speed, consistency or higher detail. I'm guessing there are some things that would require compromise as well, but I wouldn't even know what those are.
i bought a Kingroon KP3S a few months ago, 169 shipped amazon prime and it's an amazing printer for the price, only 180mmx180mm buildplate but it's so easy to use and prints perfectly everytime
The ender 2 comes in at about the same price and seems a lot more capable, might be worth checking out for a comparison
It's not plug and play though.
@@neatt3815 "Easy DIY assembly in only 4 steps
In order to simplify the setup, especially for beginners, the printer is delivered 90% pre-assembled. You only have to tighten 7 screws to start printing." Well that is not that bad either tbh. Took out of ender website.
@Neat t also while I get ideally its simple, the set up and building etc is part of the fun. Build it with them. Teach them how it works and how to use it. It's a great way to bond over something or get interested in something together
@@VinayVarsani i bought an Ender 3 last year. Assembling it was easy. Troubleshooting was a massive pain. Took me a few months to be able to print something that wasn't garbage. My bed is warped to hell and the glass isn't flat. I'm printing on it okish now, but honestly? I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner.
@@neatt3815 I'm not saying they're perfect.. far from it. But they don't usually come like that. Mine came pretty much spot on but there were some issues that I researched how to fix and now it prints fine 🤷🏾♂️ you can replace the bed and individual parts which is why it's such a good mod printer too
I think a good video might be on how to best 3d print objects that are too big for the build plate, for instance a 10x10 inch flat panel (or anything bigger than the size of the build plate) for screwing a motherboard to... For those who can't afford a model with a bigger build plate, for instance.
I do it like that: Open the model in Fusion 360, convert it to a volumetric body, cut it up into appropriately sized pieces with taps for easier allignment (don't forget some clearance!) and glue them together with epoxy/CA glue.
@@Donnerwamp I'm actually thinking about doing something like that, but slightly different, as in, gluing pieces together, then adding more pieces on top overlapping the joints, so I have a flat bed, so to speak, the size of what I'm mounting, eg: motherboard, and a flat layer underneath as well, for the custom case mounting location, in my 1998 iMac for instance...
Also, I'm pretty new to CAD apps, so I'm still learning...
@@northwiebesick7136 By flaps I mean it similar to puzzle pieces, but going bigger after half the thickness of the parts, so it's kind of a lite version of what you want to so. That way I still keep things mostly flat. A tiny bit of warping will always be there on flat parts, even with PLA. By adding multiple layers this will be multiplied, similar to pressing a bunch of Lego plates on top of each other.
"Yoda"....
You're supposed to leave the white tape on the build plate to protect it, that's why they added two extra ones in the box
How do this have no reply’s
I might buy this but I might get it just to make a few necessities. Like wall hangers or perhaps some miner replacement parts.
I deeply regret buying this unit as a first printer due to the positive reviews on it--especially this one. It's an "easy beginner printer" in the same way a netbook is an "easy beginner computer." It's small and cute, but that's where "beginner" and "kid-friendly" ends. I had nothing but mechanical axis problems thanks to the poor bed-levelling physically knocking everything out of whack. It has only the most primitive adjustment options, and everything constantly works loose. I'll try 3d printing again another decade or two, since this is such a waste of time, money and space.
Just get a Voxelab Aquila for $10 more. It's as good as the Ender 3 v2.
ABL at that price is pretty insane. I'd have a hard time recommending this over the Ender 2 Pro for a beginner. You don't get ABL, but you do get a bigger print volume. Plus the support community is much larger. It's already been on sale for around $150 (or less) and is currently $160 at my local Micro Center.
Or a ender 3 like everyone has it and its $100 and is pretty good with a lot of Community with it
@@hexidev Where can you get an ender 3 for 100 bucks?
@@mcyclonegt microcenter
I do believe it's relatively inexpensive to slap ABL on an ender 3 too, is it not?
Having ABL at such a small print volume but no filament cooling fan is just plain stupid tho.
Voxelab Aquila 3D Printer and the Voxelab Aquila x2 are both under 200$ right now and insanely good! Check Amazon
To use a bigger filament roll, you could place the printer on some old books or something.

You are a life saver I spent 50 pounds on extra fillament and I didn’t know how to put it since it was 1kg
Have you considered getting a boom mic that sits over your head on your set? I've noticed that you're usually working right there at your desk on the set, and I promise you once you hear the difference in quality, as well as not having to wear a mic, you'll never look back.
I have no experience with 3d printers and my assembly experience is Legos. I got the Ender 3 Pro from MicroCenter for $100 on sale and it’s been amazing. Building was easy. I’ve had it running almost constantly since I got it.
at the end you can hear how loud the stepper drivers are.. i did some reading.. because I think a small printer like that has a place on the office desk.. no way!!! it seems it has the old loud stepperdrivers you cant replace because they are directly soldered on the mainboard 😞.for that price you can get a decent printer with a silent motherboard... (classic ender 3 -$100 plus 40$ for a silent motherboard... and you get the bigger heated bed and the partcooling fan for free... also all the prints i have seen have clear underextrusion,,, so its not working out of the box. and you have to do lots of tuning without the support of a big community.

Endrer 3 300$
Endre3 V2 400$
Man, I do not miss the complete lack of stepper noise on my Ender 3v2. When I first fired it up after decommissioning my old i3 clone and CR-10S, the difference was night and day.
That looks like a much better entry to the market than the Mini Delta was. It was a great concept, but poorly executed, even for that price point.
My first 3D printer was a generic off-brand that I got for $125. I now have a any cubic mega zero. For 170 bucks it aint terrible
Sounds like it's the best option for someone who wants to crank out miniatures.
I appreciate the bit at the end because the whole time I was wondering just how loud it was while printing. If I were to get this I might still put it in the basement even though it's not loud just to keep it where it can't be disturbed while printing and at that point the wifi would probably be of great use. As for the size I keep thinking it wouldn't be so bad if you can learn to cut your prints into smaller pieces and then you can assemble them later, kinda like Lego. Still onl the fense between this and a Monoprice, but I kinda like the fit and finish on this more despite the lack of cooling.
Noisy and no filament fan... I'll pass. Cool looking little printer.
😊👍
You mean hot? It still doesn't have an Fan, or are you the Fan now? #dadjokes
Not gonna lie, I'm buying one. Would never have given a 3d printer that cheap a single thought, but your resumé tells me that I can trust you, Mr fan printer guy.
I just ordered this one today before finding this video, my first printer. My brother is thinking of starting with a $400 printer lol. Total price was $224 with 1 black and 4 colored spools.
One day I will be able to afford a SLS printer... one day. Well probably not but they are cool
We gon get it one day😂
Funny fact:
This is the 4th company I see selling an identical printer under a different name. I bought mine as Gembird Gemma 3D Printer.
As for the printer itself, it was my first one, it works great, despite actively using larger and more efficient printers, this little one still sits on my desk and prints test small models before its bigger brothers start mass production :D
A cheap spool holder you can even by at walmart, if they have it, is a papertowel holder that spins and if you find a vertical one you can but 3-4 spools on it
You can just print one...
I just got my first 3d printer yesterday. Went with the artillery sidewinder x2. Mainly because size. I wanted a larger bed.
Good choice, I use 2 and never had any trouble with either of them.
I just got one for $105. Well worth that, for sure. Great for the kids.
You can get an Ender 3 for $149 now. Hands down the best value for any 3D printer out there.
Grogu. That is all. :)
save the money and do a ender 3
I'm considering picking something like this up for traveling with (I tour with a band and would love something to bring with me to build stuff on the road. How durable does this feel for such a purpose?
Nice sound example at the end, good for prospective buyers watching the video.
That was surprisingly silent!
I was half expecting something closer to a 9 pin printer in sound level, that 3D printer was practically whispering in comparison!
Marvelous video, should possibly be labeled as a sponsored video?
Take care and stay safe!
That thing is quieter than the coil whine from my gpu.
Those first gen 9 pin printers were loud! Had one for the C64.
And when you had to pull the covers to check ribbon advance, they were an order of magnitude louder.
I have yet to find a purpose for the USB cable...Windows makes a noise when you plug it in...but shows and does nothing else 🤷♂
Looked up Weedo Tina 2 3D printer in Canada it cost $449 wth a 400% mark up. That’s not very good business for the US’s closets neighbours and the second largest market in North American
I think WEEDO is making their money up in other countries. It's $468 before taxes in Canada. My Ender 3 Pro was cheaper.
Oh, she’s a noisy girl. The Creality Ender 2 Pro is $175 and comes with a more complete feature set with a heated bed, runout sensor, and silent drivers. Seems like a much friendlier 3d printer for some just starting out. Or as a smaller 2nd printer.
I would NEVER suggest a delta printer as a first... Jesus.
Most people with brains recommend Ender 3 V2 or something because they are easy to upgrade and the parts are cheap. For a start you can buy the upgrade kit to make it dual driver...
spedn like... $30 more and get effectively an ender 3V2 but with better quality . The Neptune 2 is hands down the best budget printer, and is better than this printer in every way
Awesome video though!
Legit reviewers teardown the products to show the viewer key component's quality and characteristics, such as the mainboard, sensors, stepper-motor drivers, etc ,etc. Im not angry at you, just sad and disappointed.
As much pain as i had with my ender 3 bog standard version, i'd still pick that over the tina2.
I have a Weedo Tina2... It printed for one day... After that it's been a nightmare. There is literally NO support for the printer. I went around and around with Weedo and never got any resolution. It's a piece of crap.
I've downloaded files for my tina 2 from cult3d, Ive transferred the files to the sd card but can't find the files when I put the sd card back into the machine.
I can get a kingroon kp3s for as low as 135 on ebay if I waited and hunted for a deal and 160ish at all times. So of course you can get a serviceable printer at this price.
and you didn't tell us it's not silent steppers at 10:34? that's a huge con lol
Every single job I upload via wifi. RepRap firmware with Duet DWC all the way.
How is this a YT comment section and nobody is enraged about him saying 'baby Yoda'? That can't be right! 🤔😆
is every comment held for review or is it only me and others that also try to help others be informed about a older product that is 100% the same as this and reminding them to do their own research before buying anything?
Does he even check the comments? Lol anyways I always wondered if a filament printed fan performs different from a rein printed fan. I see some fans that have intricate details on them that might affect it differently
If someone was experienced, why would they ask for advice?
Give me a like if you think he should put this in his car with a power inverter? Just to see if he can go on a small road trip and print something lol PS it’s never been done before
I mean you can 3D print an adapter for 2KG rolls with your 200g roll. Big brain.
Boring, boring, boring. Non sense there is of course cooling. Get another hobby as you even do not bother to cut out you dropping your rendeer ....
That first boat was hilarious. Great video.
I accidentally deleted all the files on it and I don't know how to restore them and I also dont know how to put files on them bc I don't have a computer all I got is a phone so if you could show me that would be great 👍
F ing weeds....
that's grogu
What’s the power supply details, i need to buy one and I don’t know the amp and voltage
Question can you use bottle filament on this thing
this piece of trash is actually a generic printer that has gone by several names since the original release like four years ago. for this price, grab an ender 2
I'm sorry thought I was subbed to you already been watching for over a year sooo weird any who fixed
bruh you can buy a ender 3 for about 150 dollar with discount.....
Which 3D printer is good for DIY? Like cosplay
It's not Yoda, it's Grogu.
Also the race its Dosen't called eather Yoda.
Sounds solid if you want to make figurines easily tho.
Too small to be useful. Better a Magna II, which is more or less the same price.
I've had mine for like a week and now I'm getting Thermal Runaway
If the other version you were talking about is tina2s, it also has a heated bed.
Somebody get this man a Voron
I have looked at these kits but then ran away
@@MajorHardware they're not as scary as they look, I've kit built a v0 and v2.4 and have a legacy (lesser known voron build) that I scratch built using spare parts. You seem pretty savvy, I don't think you'd have any issues.
A 250mm^3 v2.4 would be a great addition to your capabilities (at least that I've seen). Printing at 240mm/s and 10k acceleration is awesome.
But _could I do it,_ is the real question.
What I want to know about these little printers is if they can use little nozzles.
I wanted to get this for my desk at the office. wondering how loud this is?
I just ordered the Weefun version of this for $86 + change. I already have 3 Enders, a 3 Pro, 3 Max and 6. I thought this would be neat to see what it can do. If it ends up being crap I can always send it back.
How was it?
@@ZrbdMc I never got it. I read more reviews and decided to refuse the delivery.
Kratos, it's that you?
"Indeed"
Why is my tina 2 not working it says resume printing and does not do anything
Microcenter has a ender 2 pro for $159...
It's bigger but doesn't come with auto bed level but has a build fan and heated bed.
The q5 is a solid first printer.
Wow, wish I had a microcenter around me. Nothing that cheap around here.
@@JonathanWellskcender creality has it on site for $169 before tax and shipping.
I actually went to microcenter today, got an Ender 3 pro for $100(coupon) and the ender 2 pro for the $159. So 2 3d printers for $259+7.5%tax. Sometimes microcenter is awesome price wise, 2 printers under $300.
@@bleach_drink_me Thanks for the info. Unfortunately Creality doesn't seem to ship to my country/region.
@@JonathanWellskcender thats unfortunate. Sorry about that.
im bias because i got an ender 3 for £100 but id just get that if you can
Quintessential product dump infomercial.
We're you drunk? I am. Just wondering if you are too
Can this model print directly from the polo print app?
I am confused is this the same as the entina tina2s. It looks identical
3:12 *slaps 3d printer* this bad boy can do so many model designs prints
I so want to soup something like this up LOL 48 volts LOL
Why does the front look like it’s the back?
I decided to order one of these after struggling with an Ender 3 (which I will be returning). The automatic bed leveling alone is worth it after dealing with Ender 3's often "unique" leveling, bed shape, and bed cover.
I am in the same boat. I didn’t have a ton of time to mess around with ender 3, but am giving up on it. I got a few things to print right, but felt like I was constantly calibrating to get it right.
@@pbatch21 I've been using the Tina2 for a minute now and gotten some good prints out of it. The only issue is that the print size is very limited. Other than that, it's a really easy to use and learn printer.
An ender 3 is only $50 more, it might be better to spend the extra money
Would it be pretty easy to throw a 40mm fan on it for cooling?
Probably wouldn’t be difficult to rig something onto it for cooling.
This actually inspires me to get that one super tiny $100 resin 3d printer kit
I bought an Anycubic Photon. Small build plate, and even low odor resin smells awful, but it's worked well so far tbh.
What is the "best" (mixture of price and quality, ease of use and features (heated bed, bed levelling etc)) that will print ~300mm prints, minimum 220mm.
.
I have looked at several models for a project that I want to undertake that cannot be broken down into smaller prints to be assembled. There are cheap models available, but seem crap, and the good models that will do the size I need cost a lot.! And then there is the question of the filament, I am not sure what I will need for the final product, so I would like options... Options cost money.! I can of course skip these "options" to save money and upgrade to another 3D printer later when I have a much better understanding of my requirements, plus have experience etc.
.
For now though, I would like recommendations for the "best" (mixture of price and quality, ease of use and features (heated bed, bed levelling etc)) that will print ~300mm prints, minimum 220mm.
.
Many thanks :D
I bought the Tina2 (basic model) a few months ago, and it prints fine. However, it does have a few differences:
-No WiFi
-No more metal guard in front
-Printbed is be slightly longer, at 120 mm long. (Other dimensions are the same)
This printer also came with 200g of filament and a few stickers to go on the printbed to help with adhesion, which I found useless, but this printer is really great. Once I ran out of the 200g filament, I just bought a 1kg spool and had it sit there, and it still works fine.
My entina mini 3d printers tina 2 is not reading the g code.
So before I went to go find any review videos, I looked at the Amazon page for this. It says the $200 Tina2S has a lot more upgrades including a heated bed
And if that's the case then it is definitely a very high consideration to get the $200 version over 150 version
Hey i just ordered a Ender 3 V2 for my first 3D printer, I ordered Creality All Metal MK-8 Extruder Feeder Drive, Micro Swiss All Metal Hotend Kit for Creality, so I can printer just about any thing i might want too..
Would this be good for Raspberry Pi Cases,Other SBC Plates,Cases,etc Small C64,Amiga Case Add-ons,mounts too?
If you need high detail, yet mostly small prints then get a Resin printer. I picked up a Elegoo Mars 3 resin printer as well as a wash/cure station for $430. Add in 1 liter bottles of resin for $34 and 4 32oz bottles of 91% IPA. A small sealed container with a basket in it to use as a pre-wash will save the alcohol in the wash station from getting dirty so fast. Gloves, mask, plastic putty knife, paper towels, and trays will help. Download Lychee Slicer (free) for software and search cults3D for STL files. I use mine for printing mostly 28mm miniatures for games like Warhammer and D&D and the details are CRAZY good. The layers are .5mm thick and the dots are 4kfor a 3.5"x5.5" screen. Think 20x better detail than a filament printer. You do not want to print large objects, but you can print 5 miniatures and 5 bases easy and it will cost a few dollars for resin and take a few hours to print.
The reason I say to get this printer... at least for most... is because most do not really need a 3D printer unless you want it for specific things. For mew it was miniatures and there are a lot of people out there that want the same and filament printers can not do miniatures. Miniatures for Warhammer are around $5-10 each and 3D printing on average has cost 1/6th that price to print. It took me only 3 bottles of resin to pay for the printer. I am on bottle 7 right now and I just got the printer 2 months ago. All your friends will want stuff printed. Not only can you find many miniatures for these games (most are free), but also variants, themes, custom ideas... and you can scale them or mirror them is seconds in Lychee.
I never used a 3D printer before. It took me about 6 attempted prints and several re-leveling of the table to figure things out and now I rarely get any printing errors. The trick to level it was to use 2 strips of paper so you can see if it is leveled in the front and back. The back kept being too high. After that I usually can run at least 10-20 plates before I need to re-level it. If you know how to use Blender you can modify or make your own STL files. I can not do this yet. There is a little odor Elegoo plant based resin that is good, but the Elegoo ABS-Like is probably the best as it is not as brittle an seems to print a little better. There is some odor, but not too bad... think latex house paint... not after painting the walls, but just having an open can. The printer is quiet too. For those Warhammer players out there I can fit an entire Armiger Helverins/Armiger Warglaives on one plate with all the options and it probably costs about $3 for each one. I printed 2 flawless with pretty much the same detail level as GW does.
The one issue I have found is MANY of the STL files are solid. The larger bodies on things like scenery, vehicles, monsters... that have large bodies are not hollowed at all and this wastes a ton of resin. Lychee does let you add cylinder cavities into a model though. I did this with an Aldar Warp Gate and probably cut the amount of resin for the print in half. You have to have an open end though. Yo can not hollow it out and seal it as it will fill with resin when printing. This is bad because it still wastes the resin, the resin trapped inside will never cure, and it can supposedly cause the model to crack or even pop from temp changes and leak the resin out.
You got a link to the FLsun printer too?
edit: I said screw it and picked one up on amazon using your link and it was an additional $20 off the basic model ($130 got me). I'm hoping to use it with my 8 year old this summer to get her into some fun stem focused projects.
Limited printer because there is no heated build plate. More like a toy for your kids to play with and get bored with quickly. You can only print using PLA. A printer like the Ender 3 Pro or similar one might be a better choice for what you get and the quality of the prints you get off it. Plus you can use other types materials. Older, non silent, printer drivers used with this printer.
Ender ended competition in budget market imo.
Is this machine capable of printing off fantasy/sci-fi miniatures to a reasonable standard?
