Excellent review! Are you giving this one away or one like it? If so please enter me too I'm singe dad with 2 babies and could think of about a million things I could 3d print to make life easier!!
Quick tip. I usually do all my screwing with one of those tiny drills that cost very little money are much easier to handle both due to their smaller size and weight. The big heavy battery drill are usually reserved for construction work or drilling holes. Try it, you wont go back to using a big battery drill most of your screwing tasks.
Let me just say that the shot from inside the rocket was very clever. I enjoyed the whole video but that shot just spoke to me about how creative you are with your editing and filming
... to hell with the CR10 >_> I'm getting THIS! Come ooooon tax season! :D Thank you for the in-depth review on this! I'm glad I waited before making a move on the CR10; I see I would have regretted it! This thing seems to have EVERYTHING I want in a budget 3D printer. Thank you again for your review! 5/5! It's absoluteloy massive but if my math is correct, the radial build area is 13in, ja?
I can tell you that it is not printing anywhere near 300ms. Without changing the acceleration and jerk in the firmware it will not achieve those speeds.
I wrote this to another comment: "It's because it probably is. Whenever someone says a certain speed, it's from the slicer (Simplify3D) and not the true speed. In fact, we can easily calculate this by measuring the diameter of the rocket and observe the number of revolutions during those 25 frames. However, at 300mm/s the true speed might only be 150-200mm/s, but this is still very impressive! The jerk and acceleration settings differs from all printers, that's why different printers will never have the same actual speed compared to the speed according to the slicer."
arbit3r I'm with you. Furthermore the mechanics wont be sturdy enough to handle huge accel. And this is what you need to come up with when you want to gain an effect of higher speeds. @video owner Firmware settings are just a few digits to edit... thats nothing this printer gains a major edge with.
Exactly, but it's not because of the acceleration since it's printing in vase mode at constant speed. The bit with the clock at 100mm/s actually looks like 40mm/s if you try to estimate the length the head travels during one second. He probably had cooling settings limiting the speed.. So any later speed claim is also wrong since he speeded it up in the firmware which is an increase from the base speed in percentage, not a speed setting per se. I own a delta printer and I can say 100mm/s is waaaay faster.
Im sure you have better things to do but is there a profile for Cura for the little monster somewhere? what are your settings? Im having a hard time getting it to connect to cura on the computer and it is having all kinds of weird behavior.
Those vase prints look horrible but then that benchy and rocket. WOW. Gorgeous. just need to work on the ringing/salmoning but wow is it nice. I would kill to get one of these.
Great review! Thank you for covering the assembly and demonstrating the speed of this printer. With this being a Delta format printer, is the G-code generation different? What slicer do you use? What CAD software too?
Excellent reviews. Cover all the important things without a bunch a useless stuff in between. Quick and to the point. Keep up the good work. You have been very helpful in this new to 3d printers search for the right one. Will be using mainly to mock up Scale RC rig parts before machining. Thank you.
Remember when printing fast like the 350, you might need to raise the hotend temp and may need to increase the flow rate. That will ensure you are putting out enough filament at the higher speeds.
Is the angle of the upright aluminium extrusions in relation to the base and each other important enough for you to have used a steel square or protractor to check them.
Did you have any mechanical issues that you had to go back and adjust later? How is it doing now and has it been working well for a while? What are some tips for someone that has never built a 3d printer before? Thanks.
FYI, they're not using a genuine E3D hotend, nor the Titan extruder. According to Sanjay (Director of Communications & R&D at E3D), TEVO hasn't made any bulk purchases for those items from E3D.
Please can you explain well if you have to enter 2 TL SMOOTHERS for each X - Y driver and extruder or just one. How many TL SMOOTHERS is right to put and on which drivers ?. Maybe you already explained it in the video but. unfortunately, I speak Italian and I do not understand English spoken, for that written I use the Google translator. Thank you very much for your help and I greet you very cordially.
Which one this or the predator? I have a huge Mingda printer now. It’s 300x200x600 mm. It’s awesome. But after seeing this, I want a delta now. My mingda is industrial and all steel construction. I paid 1600 for it. It’s low hours. If anybody wants to buy it, I will give it away. Very low hours. The thing is I love my printer. But what I really want is dual extruder single nozzle able to printer at least a 300mm in diameter part. And nobody seems to have one to be able to print this large. I want a dual to be able to wash away support to make my parts.
I just got one of these printers a few days ago and im trying to print something and it has a few issues 1. The model keeps unsticking from the heating bed, im using abs filament and ive got all the settings correct ( no fans, extruder temp 230 degrees celcius, heating bed 115 degrees celcius), but it still doesnt want to stick onto the bed. 2. What slicer software do u use? I tried my own model with the defualt sclicer that comes with the program( i think its sli3r or something like that) but the nozzle hangs nearly 10mm above the board for some reason. Im new to 3d printing, so i dont know that much
This review seemed a little bit like a commercial ... sry. Why didn´t you show the large rocket or tell anything about it? Anyway thanks for all your output. I am on my way to my first 3D printer and your channel seems to be a very good source of information! Best regards
Hey. I have a question about the 3d printer Tevo little monster. Does this printer have a resume after losing power? I ask my father in the area, they often turn off the electricity and I have so many times interrupted the printout on anycubic kossel that I have had enough and I want to buy a bigger printer but I do not know if it has a resumption. I apologize for misspellings of a used translator because I do not know English well
PLEASE HELP ME, i am using repetier host and for some reason my little monster will not make a solid bottom layer, i calibrated it and everything but for some reason my bottom layer is always loose. is there something i can do to help this!!!
I saw this original build by Tom and it didn't look like it came as assembled as yours. I wonder if they saw his video and changed it for future kits. It looks like it went together fairly easily and results look good.
Hi, thanks for review. I like it a lot but there are 2 things I would like to pint out: 1. This is not a E3D titan but a fake. 2. Your speed test does not seem to be right. This does not look like 100mm a second. More like 30mm/s. And as expected you can't go more than 100mm without changing extrusion multiplier. Check your slicer for percentage slow down for vase mode or/or outwall.
Very nicely put together video! Nice job. Do you have any updated comments about the Tevo Little Monster Printer? Any changes you felt you needed to make? Using your video and a few others, I've decided to order one. Thank you for your input!
hey , great vids, and I recenlty subscribed to your channel, I recently purchased and am awaiting delivery on a FLSUN QQ ,, its 260 X 370 anyway, any thoughts on that one? seems to be getting decent reviews, but I noticed you dont have that one,,, just curious
i dont understand why the fuse is important for "safety" ... the fuse is there to protect the wires and the equipment, its not made to protect people from getting shocked.
when u calibrate wih th bl touch this monster i have seen u done it direct on the glas, a minute later there was a coat on the glas - how does this work ? whats the trick ?
can you tell me, kindly, where can I download the new config and firmware.bin files ?. On the TEVO.com website I can not find it there just for TORNADO and BLACK WIDOW. Thanks for a prompt reply, I greet you dearly,
RCLifeOn, I recently purchased a Tevo Little Monster after watching your vids. I'm loving the printer, but my beginning layers adhesion using stock setting are giving me a lot of trouble. What configuration settings worked best for you with PLA?
8:31 reduced inertia good speed & response so no need of control theory just reduce inertia for good response thats good a liberation from control theory
I have to ask you one thing: Is it dangerous to have a heatbed supplied with AC power without any safety system? I'm asking you this, because both the tevo little monster than tevo tornado have an AC bed. Mostly, the Tornado has a moving bed and this can cause the break of the wires due to fatigue and, if we have contact with the printer structure we can have a mortal shock. So, finally, are these tevo printers safe for you? Thanks
I wouldn't touch Tevo/Homers with a 100 foot pole. The company cannot be trusted. Currently I am dealing with an employee and the company CEO who have ignored requests to provide a refund after repeated delays, lies and excuses for a printer that never shipped. Their solution is to take your money and pretend you don't exist. Sadly I now have to deal with the local Zhanjiang police and an attorney to hold these assholes accountable. If that's the sort of bullshit you want to deal with, go for it. But I would recommend that you spend your hard earned cash with a company that is more easily held accountable when it decides to play games.
Hi, when did you made the order? I did February 10, by this time, I would got the printer if they were a serious company! Sadly they don’t reply and I can’t even track the package!
Thank you Simon, your videos are very informative. Could you make a video about raspberry pi or arduino to build rc aircraft, boat or cars that that we can control with computer via live FPV system. It is possible and very easy to build, but I don't have time to make one. If you are interested let me know please. Dan
Excellent product review! I want to buy one now :) and I just bought the Tevo Tarantula DIY kit with all of the upgrades (dual pro metal extruders, larger print bed, auto bed level)..The fact that the Delta doesn't require mains wiring and has a lot of pre-assembled pieces, not to mention the Speed and Size of the machine, makes it very appealling
Hi , i enjoyed your video , good filming , good explain , realy good video . I have a question for u , i want to buy my first 3d printer, i see so many printer and i don't know how to choose. i'm very interested to buy the little monster, cos have a nice price and seems very good. i also see the delta flux + what do u think about?
Hey Simon. This review was a great one and I appreciate the hard work you do on your video's giving as much information as you can. I viewed your other video where you suggested to put the TL Smoothers on the TEVO Little Monster. Can you do a before and after video on it to show if the smoothers actually resolve the issue with the artifact look? I've seen this video and it looks like it does, I just find your video's more entertaining and insightful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZmEueYKwkcg.html. I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy this printer.
It's $800 now, but I'm still too broke for it lol. For that price and build volume is great. I'm not too familiar with the electronics in 3D printers, but isn't that board that allows it to print that fast?
Out of curiosity, when you were assembling the printer, I noticed the wiring has flags on them to organize or identify. Was this your doing or did those flags comewith the kit?
