TEVO Tornado meest geassembleerde 3D-printer met volledig aluminium frame

This is my first 3D printer, and after deciding I wanted to play with one, I gradually escalated my purchase decision to the Tornado (Steel frame, larger bed, 220V bed etc).
I'm really happy with my choice - it's not quite "the finest printer out there", but don't think anything else can touch it for the price - and after a few weeks of playing with it, don't have any complaints.
I think it's in the sweet spot where you've paid enough to ensure no detrimental shortcuts were made.

Really well packaged - everything in foam inserts in the box.
Semi-assembled - Took maybe 30 mins to bolt the pieces together and fire it up.
Didn't require any adjustment other than the expected bed-levelling. All the belts came perfectly tensioned.
Right from the start I've been getting good prints off it. They get better as your learn and fiddle with it, but even at the start haven't had anything disastrous happen (that wasn't my fault).
Didn't come with filament, but came with SD card, knife, USB lead, spare bed, spare cable-ties, spare nozzle - good package.

Great support - Marlin-based, so works with all software and easy to find help. Has good facebook community with active people helping out.

Suggestie

My only semi-complaint was that they included (which was nice of them) a Euro->UK plug adaptor in the box - which if I'd used it would mean the tornado wasn't earthed (and as it's a chunk of metal that runs on mains-voltage, is not a good thing). I wasn't expecting/promised/wanting the adaptor in the first place, so had got my own lead - but feel it might be better if they just didn't include one (or gave a UK lead option).

Verpackung und Zusammenbau
Der mechanische Aufbau des Tevo Tornado ist durch die gute Anleitung sehr einfach.
Der Tevo Tornado wird in 2 großen Baugruppen geliefert, diese müssen nur mit wenigen Schrauben verbunden werden.
Der gesamte Aufbau dauert also nur wenige Minuten.
Sämtliche Bauteile sind gut geschützt zwischen mehreren Lagen Schaumstoff gesichert.
Die mitgelieferte Bedienungsanleitung bietet nur wenige Informationen.
Da der Zusammenbau aber simpel ist, wird sie auch nicht zwingend benötigt.
Bevor man beginnt sollten zudem noch alle Zahnriemen, Rollen und Achsen gespannt/justiert werden.
Im Lieferumfang war neben dem notwendigen Werkzeug auch noch eine Ersatzbeschichtung für das Hotbed enthalten.
Filament für erste Versuche ist leider nicht enthalten.
Der drucker macht seinen Job so wie er soll.
Ich habe nur einen zweiten Antrieb an die Z-Achse montiert.
Ich würde den Drucker immer wieder weiter empfehlen.

посылка пришла быстро курьером домой, все в целости и сохранности + запечатан принтер на совесть.
Комплектация вся полная немного изменилась от прошлых версий: Датчик стоит уже на Т образной пластине и дополнительно тефлонового покрытия нет. остальное как в обзорах. Печатает пока без проблем и косяков немного поиграться с настройками и все хорошо. Единственный минус на 7 Винде не определяется и не находит драва (можно и без этого печатать, настройки для Репитер Хост есть на оф сайте Tevo, и также пытаюсь найти драйверы на него) . Приходит принтер почти собран, на остальную сборку потратил 20 минут (Это мой первый принтер)

The shipment was fast enough.

Pro: it's very easy to assembly.
If you had installed already everything, you should wait right to make a good job...

Contra: You need to try several settings, angles, materials to get a good job

You need a more better base, because allmost everything adhere, it's very enervant.
Should use it on very slow speed, to a clear design.

I have had this printer for almost a year now. I am please with the most of the prints but have been unsuccessful at printing POM or ABS. but it is great at PLA. the bonding sheet that comes with the printer bubbled after 4 prints and the second sheet did not last much longer. I have since upgraded to a ANYCUBIC Ultrabase 3D Printer Platform Tempered Glass but still need to use a glue stick.
all in all I'm happy with my printer
