After experimenting with a Prusa kit a few years ago which never really worked, I decided to go for a prebuilt model.
I’m very happy with it. It was initially a little frustrating as the supplied SD card was not formatted correctly meaning the printer would just keep rebooting. A search on Reddit solved this issue and a spare card worked just fine. Worth mentioning here that the manufacturer emailed me a couple of days after delivery apologising for the issue and supplying the correct files.
I am an experienced CAD designer so creating the STL and GCODE files was no problem. In the first week of ownership I have designed and printed a set of extended landing gear for my drone.
Decent quality product at a sensible price with exceptional print quality.
The only downside would be the small print volume, but this can be creatively solved by splitting the prints into smaller parts.
In sintesi:

Contro:
– nel gancio laterale non vengono supportate bobine da 1kg, ma solo quelle pi piccole. Problema facilmente risolvibile comprando bobine pi piccole oppure costruendo un supporto per filamenti esterno.
Just received this printer in last couple of days. Very simple to use straight out of the box. Sample amount of filament could have been a bit more, but is enough to get the hang of things, though because it was on a reel, got tangled up a lot while printing. Simply auto-feed filament, choose your file and the printer does the rest. First project was to download and print a reel holder as the one supplied too small for 1kg reels. The one I received had no guard to stop user from touching the head whilst printing.
On the whole, a great little printer, no problem using it out of the box.
I have always been very interested in 3d printers and as soon as I seen this I was excited. At the time of purchase this item was 139.99 which i thought was very reasonable for this item. It came well boxed bigger than I thought it comes with everything you need for a beginner.
So first of all the instructions aren’t the best. I found them extremely hard to follow and understand. I tried looking online for some help on this item but I couldn’t really find anything. I did however manage to download the software pretty easily and it worked straight away very well.
I must say I did NOT make anything with the printer I have just set it up. It comes with only a small amount of plastic to do you’re 3D printing. You will need to purchase more for bigger products I am unsure how much this will set you back but could become quite costly. The 3rd printer it’s self is well made. Feels excellent quality, heavier than expected. Comes with a good decent length power cable so you can sit this anywhere. As far as I am aware it has a pause and resume if you are in the middle of a project. The printer is fully assembled so you can literally just get straight into printing. As I say I haven’t started making anything but I am not computer savvy at all and this was difficult for me to set up. I definitely think if you know what you are doing then you will find this easy but if you are like me and you don’t you will find this difficult.
This is ideal if you are curious about 3D printing this is ideal for you this is an ideal beginners pack. The printer is small enough for office or even at home. Small enough to be moved around and stored away. You do get everything you need you may as I say need to invest in more lace for the printer but that is to expected.
Overall good product not as easy as I thought setting it up but if you know what you are doing this should be okay for you. The software was difficult at first but once I got the hang of it it was easy to use. Great value for money if you are curious about 3D printing.
First printer I couldn’t get to work was returned a replacement sent, second had the same problem I then found that the company had supplied incompatible software with the printer, this was resolved by downloading from their website, then the printer kept shutting down momentarily and several prints were ruined despite it having a resume mode. It all seems to have settled down now and the company has done it’s best to resolve the issues. I have made a few prints now and happy with the results for a budget printer. If you are new to this like me then this seems like a great entry into 3d printing
This is a very good printer. It is so easy to use and set up. It had the least amount of set up I have had to do with a 3d printer of this price range and worked straight out of the box.
It is all enclosed in its own case and compact. I have it hooked up to Octoprint using a raspberry pi that works flawlessly.
Overall I am delighted with this product and would highly recommend it.
There is not much in the box, the printer out of the box, went into Weedo’s website to download the correct software, update the software and off I went started printing.
There are quite a bit of stringing and drooling on the first few prints but not a big problem, easy to sand them off. I was not expecting a perfect sculpture from a printer of this price range.
The printer only prints with PLA material and it does not come with a heated bed. The bed is removeable plate. You do need to secure it down with some glue on top so that your print does not slide around. You could use some painter’s tape to wrap around the bed plate to reduce the damages from pulling your print off every time.
It comes with automatic bed levelling and automatic resume if you had to go out in a rush, just switch the power off, and it will resume where it left off once power is back on.
To me, the best value of this printer is the WiFi function which allows me to put it anywhere in the house. It is quite noisy and can be disturbing the others in the house so I have the flexibility to put this out of the way.
The print volume is pretty small at 100x120x100mm, but it is good enough for beginners to try out on keychains, toys or small tools.
Another downside is the spool holder can only hold a small (500g) spool, but there is a 1kg holder which you may find on the internet and can be printed off with this printer to replace the spool holder to make it hold 1kg spools.
Overall, there are a lot of good features in this printer and at a very affordable price. Great as the first printer for anyone wants to try out 3D printing, if you did not like it you have not broken your bank to a regrettable level.
I’ve been curious about 3d printing for some time and the amazing possibilities that go with it, but i’ve always shied away from it because of the cost and perception of how tricky it can be…. But this 3d printer has blown all of that out of the water.
This really is a piece of cake to use, even if you have no clue how to 3d print. It does all of the auto leveling and calibrating for you all you really need to do is load it with a coil of material and feed it through then tap a few buttons and watch the magic.
The ability to print from a card or attach a cable is fantastic. I’m no CAD wizkid and the fact that there are thousands of free designs for all kinds of items out there is incredible. Just save the file onto the card and load it up and let it print. The printer wizzard is very easy to follow and will even give you an estimate of how long it will take so you can crack on with other things and come back later.
I’ve printed a few jokey items as testers and the quality is very impressive. Yes this is not the largest printer, but it is big enough to print items that would be useful for most people, and do it to a very high standard.
Value wise this is a bargain. If you are curious about 3d printing get this printer. It’s very easy to use, learn and best of all isn’t expensive so if it’s not for you you haven’t remortgaged for a gadget.
Perfect for beginners. I hadn’t used a 3D printer before and really wanted to try one out. From taking it out of the box and reading the instructions, it was really easy to set up. This is great for printing out small items that aren’t very complex. The printed items are excellent quality and the printer is really compact, smart and easy to use. I like how it is great for teaching young children about technology and it is really fun. I’d really recommend this for people interested in 3D printing but unsure where to start.
Amazing printer – I completely recommend this as an intro into the world of 3D printing. The compact size and ease of putting together – makes it simple to setup. The Manual makes sense; and is not too complex to understand. The price is reasonable too – which makes it value for money for model-making or teaching students. This would be great for a school teacher to purchase as a teaching tool for engineering or design classes. The sheer fun in watching the shapes build-up – is worth the effort in taking time to learn how it all works. It’s exciting for a first-time user. Welcome to the world of 3D printing!
Downside: there seems to be limited practical use for the device beyond model-making. The “slicing” software needs some IT skill to use.
I can recommend 100%
If you’re planning on getting into the 3D printing world but don’t want to spend a fortune on a setup straight away, this is a really good starting kit. The printer itself arrived in lovely condition which could make a great gift and clear instructions, along with everything to setup was provided. The printer itself isn’t too bulky but will still make fairly large prints. It connects with ease to the software and will get to work right away upon clicking print. Very cool to watch with really accurate results. It arrived fully assembled and has features built in to auto level which is great for beginners too! Has a removable magnetic platform which is good for cleaning and will work with a selection for items. Very simple to function unit which makes great fun for adults and teens alike. Just shows how much technology has improved over the years 🙂 I would most definitely recommend this unit!
I’m an old guy who has only heard about 3d printers in news items, so when this came up saying it’s for beginners and kids, I thought I’d have a go.
HmmHand book is ok except that the descriptions expect the user to fully understand what they are talking about and show photos of the printer with arrows pointing in a general direction.
So, it took me quite a while to get it set up. Then I find that the software only runs on a Windows pc not on a Mac, so off to the internet. I have found a few but the adverts all talk in gobbledegook so I’ll have to wait until I know more.
The printer itself, is a well made item but with only a small amount of the plastic ‘lace’ stuff from which your item is made. I did manage to print off one of the sample products and it worked well, but now I need to find out how to print off items that I actually want to. Ah welldays of practice ahead, but, I will say that I did manage to print something which, for an old geezer like me who is also a first timer with 3d, then the machine must have a lot going for it. For the price, I honestly think you can’t do wrong.
From opening the box, to starting the first print..it took us 10 minutes, although we were going abit slow.
Put pics of it next to a can of monster… and put a 330ml can of tango (unopened) in the inside to give a kind of size.
Did 2 of the ‘test’ prints that are on the sd card that came with it… had JUST enough PLA to complete them of which you get with it.
They came out really good, much better than we was expecting!
(See pictures)
Noise, a little, but not much.
Full size reel (1kg) will NOT fit on the ‘holder’ on the side, as we tried, and it just sat on the table… but a ‘smaller’ reel fits good. (0.25kg.)
Perfect for beginners, works straight out of the box.
Its limited, as in size..and its not a heated bed… (has masking tape type sticker, which also comes with spares)
(Altho stuck down quite well.)
So it wont print with certain materials.
The plate is magnetic.
With it all together and useable straight out the box, it looks secure enough to not easily break…like my husbands ender3.. even good for kids to use.
It states to use their profile in Cura or wiibuilder for slicing, and that using a different programme could damage the printer…
However.. trying to find their profile on Cura..has been a bit of a headache, even under different name of ‘weedo’ the Tina2 aint listed.
Shall update this when ive made progress…
EDIT..included software on sd card, is not as easy to use as it COULD be.
I sliced a file using it (normally use Cura) some of the settings were harder to find than you would expect.
However, its print time prodiction is pretty acturate.
Testing the printer with a file ive given it, rather than something with 1 included… 6hr 30min print, the bed slipped very early on causing a layer shift.
Even on the high detail setting, there are quite some significant layer lines.
However, its done OK…
for a printer aimed at someone new to the hobby, you can forgive most of these hiccups because of how ‘out of the box’ ready it is…if only they would make a Cura profile compatable (And i dont mean a custom version of cura).
This is a fantastic little 3d printer. I have had a couple of bigger printers and this one has some lovely features I wish they had even if you are sacrificing bed size.
The Main outer unit is much smaller (27cm tall by 20cm deep and wide) than I was expecting but it really is nicely made and well designed with good filament feeder and the motors all move smoothly to ensure great quality printing.
The small 12cm x 10cm heated bed moves around nicely and this is a key feature so it is not just the extruder doing all the moving as that really makes the machine wobble around a lot more.
The other good feature is the auto levelling bed as this is a real pain to do yourself and I am pleased to say that after 12 prints this has done it all on its own perfectly every time.
The left side has a little fold out filament roll holder but this only holds the thin rolls so I was unable to use ones from my bigger printer with it really, and the filament they give you with it while gives a nice white print it gets all tangled up and I had 2 failed prints as I had to untangle it and then pretty much hold it out, this would have been solved by just putting it on a roll.
The speed is really quite good, but you are only printing small things, but I do love the fact it displays time remaining on the display so that’s very handy. The display is nice and clear, so I found it easy to read and the round rotating knob wasn’t too bad to browse through menus and press in to select your options. I like this being on the top especially as it is such a small printer and the SD card is right next to it. The power cables are high up on the right side which is a weird place for them to be, but I like that the power cable has a rocker switch to power it on and off.
Overall, for 134.99 I think it is a good price for a great little starter machine or if you just want a compact small unit to do little print jobs nice and consistently. I found it great for printing some tool hooks where I needed multiples of the same one and this was reliable to get great prints every time, but I would pay the little bit extra to get the Wi-Fi version to make it easier to do quick prints
This 3D printer arrived in its own branded box. Inside, the printer and contents were held in dense, moulded cardboard inserts to protect them in transit.
The box contains:
* The 3D printer itself.
* 3 pin UK power supply (with inline switch).
* Small reel (10m) of PLA filament.
* Micro SD card (containing slicing software and sample models).
* USB-A Micro SD card reader.
* 2 spare print platform stickers.
* 8mm spanner (for print nozzle).
* 1 spare brass print nozzle.
* 1.5mm, 2mm and 2.5mm hex keys.
* Unpacking guide and instructions.
I’m a complete novice to 3D printing but it’s a technology that I’ve wanted to explore for a while and this machine is ideal.
It works straight out of the box due to its self-levelling and built-in default settings. There is a small amount of filament that comes with the printer so you can get started straight away.
The slicing software (Wiibuilder2) is contained on the supplied Micro SD card and installed on my Windows 10 PC without any problems. I wanted to test the printer as soon as it arrived and there are sample (.gcode) files on the SD card to do this. However, I went down a different route and downloaded a free .stl file from the web that is a model of a hedgehog. I opened the .stl file in Wiibuilder and it generated the .gcode file that the printer needs without a problem. I saved this onto the SD card and inserted it into the printer.
There are two spare pads for the platform (to help the filament adhere) but the machine has one already installed so you can print immediately. You need to feed the filament into the printer until it stops and then you turn the printer on. There is a wizard on the LCD screen that then guides you through the steps to select a model file to print. There are several menus for more advanced settings and to fine tune the printer but none of these are necessary to get started.
The machine started to print straight away and the hedgehog took about an hour to complete. The resolution is excellent and I thought the spines on the hog would be a good test of the machine and they came out perfectly (see pictures).
After I had finished I used the ‘Auto Retract Filament’ option in the on screen menu. This also allows for changing filament mid print so that different colours can be used. Printing can also be paused and saved so that it can be continued later if required.
I haven’t had this printer long enough to comment on its long term durability and performance but I’ll update this review if there’s anything to report.
This really is an outstanding machine at this price (149.99) and has many of the features found on much more expensive 3D printers. I’m really looking forward to experimenting more with this printer. As I mentioned, there are loads of more advanced settings to play around with but the fact that this works so well straight out of the box and is so user friendly makes it an ideal choice for a beginner (like me!) who may consider spending more on a larger machine but wants to get to grips with the technology first. It does everything described in the product description and deserves five stars. Recommended!
Il piano non riscaldato, pertanto adatta alla stampa dei vari PLA e del TPU e altri flex, non di PETG.
La precisione di stampa molto buona dato il prezzo, cosi come la qualit costruttiva che, dato il case esterno, la fa sembrare un prodotto di fascia superiore. Non emana cattivi odori se non quello dolciastro di alcuni PLA (che dovrebbe essere atossico), ma comunque per le prime 10 – 15 ore di stampa si potrebbe sentire odore di “elettronica”, in quanto necessita di un po’ di funzionamento per scomparire. Il rumore pu risultare fastidioso in un ambiente completamente silenzioso, ma adatto da tenere in soggiorno o
altre aree non adibite al riposo.
Il software incluso limitato ma adatto ai principianti, mentre con Cura si ha accesso a un’infinit di possibilit in pi. Nel pacco incluso tutto quello che adatto per iniziare ed eseguire le eventuali regolazioni (di cui non dovrebbe avere bisogno se non dopo utilizzo prolungato). Il filo da ordinare il prima possibile, in quanto il campione omaggio adatto per metterla subito all’opera, ma poco.
Attenzione perch il porta bobina adatto a bobine piccole, fino a 500 g, mentre per bobine pi grosse necessario stampare un adattatore (consiglio all’azienda di caricarne uno sulla SD inclusa, nonch dei piedini, sarebbe una cosa simpatica da stampare subito per implementare la stampante)
Il venditore ha un ottimo servizio post vendita, mi ha guidato nella risoluzione di alcuni problemi di settaggio via mail e mediante immagini dettagliate, per poi sostituire rapidamente l’articolo in quanto il primo si era starato nel trasporto (il secondo prodotto perfetto e ottimamente tarato).
Stampante e venditore consigliati.
