Tina2S 3D Printer, Fully Assembled WiFi Cloud Printing Auto Bed Leveling Mini 3D Printer for Beginners, Built in 32-bit Silent Mainboard, Fully Open Source DIY 3D Printers for Home, School

I have a rare genetic disorder that causes severe joint damage. I have to depend on braces and splints to function which gets kind of pricey. I wasn't sure if I would be able to figure this out because I'm not very tech savvy. I really wanted to be able to make some custom splints for my hands. My plan was to practice on this budget model to see if I could even figure out how to make them. I wasn't expecting much because of the low price point. I figured that would need to upgrade to a more expensive model once I got the hang of it. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. The quality is so much better than I had hoped and the end result is amazing. Connecting it to the app is super easy and from there it practically walks you through the process. There are educational videos and free designs available in the app. You can also monitor the progress of your project and see how much time is left before it is complete. It comes with a large amount of filament so you can started right away. Their website also has a lot of resources on projects and even information on how to design a custom piece.

This is the third Tina2s that I have ordered and the second I have ordered for myself. Although I have several bigger 3D printers, including a super fast Bambu Labs Xi Carbon, if I have a part that can be printed on a 100x110 bed and needs to look amazing, the Tina2S is the printer I use most. The Tina2s is sold under 3 different brand names. I have used one of each and they all operate identically. While I gave tech support five stars, I have never had to actually use support for an actual issue. But, when I sent them a message asking about firmware updates I got an immediate and helpful reply. The Scout Pleasure Chest 5-bottle wine carrier fits these printers perfectly. And, they travel well. These little printers are a great place to start in 3D printing and, a valuable portable asset for those of us that have been printing for more than a decade. I have recently added a Tina2 Basic to my fleet of Tina2 printers. While the Tina2 is a great value, it is a bit noisier than the newer Tina2S. The difference in price, for me, is definitely worth getting the Tina2S if you can afford it. But, if you can't, aside from the more noisy print experience, you will still be happy with the Tina Basic.

tl;dr This is a great first printer, would be perfect for someone just starting out, and could easily be used by tweens/teens with very little supervision. It would also make a good school printer because of additional safety features and closed housing. If you're trying to decide between the Tina 2S and the Tina Basic, spend the extra money on the 2S. The Weefun Tina 2S is a great first printer! I purchased it with zero previous 3D printing knowledge and was able to print my first item within an hour after unboxing. Pros: - Compact size, with a footprint roughly the same as my air fryer or instant pot. - Runs almost silently compared to other printers I've been near. - Easy controls that are fairly intuitive. - Lots of controls to fine tune your printing. - Built in LED light. This feels like something optional, but makes a big difference in the closed housing and you miss it when using the Tina Basic. - Great customer service. I had a problem with my nozzle and hot end. The company responded quickly and professionally, sending me a replacement in under a week. It was very easy to swap out and works great again. - Lightweight and compact. I work at a school and have been taking the Tina 2S or the Tina Basic in to work with me nearly every day to use in an educational display for the kids. - Included tools and extra nozzles to get you started. - Built in filament holder that fits 200g and 250g rolls easily. Cons: - The wifi setup runs on 2.4G and was really frustrating to try and set up on our 5G home network. We had to add another wifi at 2.4G and it still will only connect to my phone and not my computer. But since it has a memory card and came with a reader, I just use that method, similar to what I use on the Tina Basic. - Smaller printing area than your more standard printers. The small print bed can be limiting and requires scaling for many print projects. For someone just starting out and experimenting, this can help you learn how to work the various software programs to change models to fit your needs. It can also be frustrating when you have to print things a few times to get the scaling right. - Doesn't fit large filament rolls and requires an extra roller holder (cheap to buy on Amazon).

Every evolution of the Tina 2 (Original Tina 2/Tina 2 “Upgrade”/Tina 2S) adds more features and better quality. The Tina 2S offers the best upgrades for the money. The obvious upgrades are more color choices, LED lighting so it’s easier to see prints, and a heated, metal build plate. After using it for a few weeks, some of the less obvious improvements are better WiFi and app connectivity, better adhesion and removal of prints, no need to replace the tape on the build plate, easier to see prints without thr big, metal guard from the Tina 2 “Upgrade” blocking the view, and slightly faster prints. The biggest improvement, though, is the noise level. The fan is much quieter and the print head is nearly silent. It’s the quietest printer I own by a wide margin. The only gripe I’ve had since the original Tina is the spool holder. The built in holder only supports 250g spools, not the standard 1kg size. You either need to print a bigger holder and replace the one on the printer, or buy one that sits next to the printer. Definitely not a deal-breaker, but still an annoyance. Other than that, the Tina 2S is an awesome upgrade over previous models.

Got it for a Christmas present for my son it was a disappointment the screen just flashes the app crashed finally got it to print something not even half way threw the printer stop working try to get ahold of the company is a joke there is no number to talk to someone have to go threw emails when they finally emailed back the send me videos of stuff I already tryed the warranty for it is a joke I would not waste your money on it
