TEVO Tornado 3D Printer, DIY Printer 3D Printing impresora 3D Printer with Titan Extruder for PLA, ABS, TPU, Copper, Wood, and Flexible Filaments, 300 x 300 x 400mm Gold and Black

In my opinion this is hands down the best choice for a large format printer under $600. Perfect PETG Bed, Excellent MKS Gen L control board, and fully upgradable without the hassle of control board swaps. Wish I'd looked at the Tevo Flash prior to my Ender 3 purchase. Being new to the game the Ender 3 was an excellent printer at the price point but soon learned that firmware updates are a hassle and upgrading is costly. If you're looking for a quiet Marlin firmware machine with room to expand while producing leading quality prints this is the one. Checkout the picture of PETG bridging at 235C and 85C with a .6 nozzle and a .4 layer height (stock cooling). A .4 nozzle at .2 layer height prints an almost perfect Benchy. Truthfully though I did upgrade the power supply to a 150W Meanwell and exchanged the solid state AC heated bed relay for a Mager ($65 total). This did not improve performance or print quality but does provide rock solid power for future upgrades. On the down side you need to print the spool holder (Come on Tevo...) and cable management could use some improvement. Can't understand why an engineer at Tevo doesn't take a day to sort this out. Took me awhile to properly organize and tie wrap the wiring harness while ensuring Z axis and Y axis movement didn't interfere with the wiring. For safety reasons I immediately printed and installed a strain relief for the AC Bed cabling. With a little more effort on Tevo's part this printer could be the leader in high value economical 3D printers.Well worth the extra effort.. I'm sold on Tevo! May even replace my Ender 3 with a Tevo Flash.https://www.amazon.com/TEVO-Assembled-Aluminum-Filaments-300x300x400mm/dp/B07F73CV9V/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=tevo+tornado&qid=1551580060&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

Installation: This is my first 3D printer, it's easy to assemble it with the tool kit in the package(a couple of notes that may help others during the build / setup). After the printer been assembled, I make the heating bed in horizontal position, and my first piece of 3D print work come out successfully!Print&Quality: I used the Repetier-Host (included) to convert .STL into Gcode, and sent the picture to printer via SD card(or PC connecting cable). And the results as you see is awesome!Conclusion: I would highly recommend this printer for anyone.

This is my first 3d printer and I can say with confidence that I really love this product. I had done a lot of research before purchasing my first printer and this one was the best I could find for my price range. The assembly was really easy and once assembled it has a SD card with some test prints on it. Things I have learned that I will pass on to you. Level out the bed first. Get a level make sure it is a level surface before you begin. Make sure the table you are using is level. When leveling / fine tuning the bed get a Feeler's Gauge and go with a .7mm feeler for testing the nozzle point to the bed. Use the feeler at each point front right/left and back right/left to level out the bed. Print the Spool Holder from the SD card after you have printed a test print. The spool holder is ok but will do for you immediate needs. You can find fancy spool holders after you get some experience. Have fun!

So let me start this off by saying I am completely satisfied with my Tornado. My print quality is great and it is everything I was looking for in my first 3d printer. The printer can build a nice model, it can build what I want correctly.Replacement test:I printed some replacement, can match it precisely.Model test:I try to print Obama, Trump and Putin, both can printed nice. But the Putin one had some issue, that was my fault when I moved it when it printing. PS: The Obama model is the largest I can found in internet, hahhh!Accurate Gear & Hollow Vase:I try to print a gear set. it can turn smoothly when I combined. The vase also nice too! The machine's accuracy is out of my expectation.The most satisfied product I built is the Moon Light. I used the ramp materials, make it not like the usual. it can printed the concave correctly, make it really like the Moon.Choice it will not make you disappointment.
