Tenlog TL-D3 Pro 3D Printer, Dual Independent Extruder, Duplicate and Mirror Mode, Print in 2-Colors

My son has been 3D printing now for the past 2-years and recently decided to get a Dual Extruder 3D printer so he can print in 2 different colors for hos key chain business. We tried 2 other printers before we settled on the Tenlog TL-D3 printer. If you are interested in some of the 3D prints that you see in this video you can purchase them on my son Caleb’s ETSY storefront.

Currently, he has these key chains available:
Riptide, PoolRX, Bottom Feeder, Primate Pole, Spin Touch, ColorQ, HASA Chlorine, HASA Acid, MX8, CuLator, Multi-Tork.

You can see all of his prints here:

Note: I purchased this printer on Amazon when they had a coupon with $90 off so it was under $600 which is a real bargain! Unlike others, I was not given a free printer from Tenlog. This is a real review.

I am learning about 3D printers and my son knows quite a bit about them since he has purchased 3 other printers and now this is his 4th printer. He started by buying the Ender 3 and then used the money from the prints he sold to buy the FlashForge Finder and then from that he purchased the AnyCubic Chiron and then the latest was the Tenlog TL-D3.

Here is some more about the TL-D3:
Tenlog TL-D3 Pro 3D Printer, Independent Dual Extruder 3D Printer with 4.3'' Touch Color Screen,Silent Mainboards TMC2208 Drive Support PVA TPU ABS PLA,Direct Feed FDM 3D Printer 11.8''x11.8''x13.8''. To order or to check it out:

INDEPENDENT DUAL EXTRUDER DESIGN: The TL-D3 Pro dual extruder 3D printer has dual nozzles independent of each other, so you can print in dual material/duplication/mirror mode. With dual-material printing mode, you can get two-color models. Choose duplication or mirror mode, you can get two models of the same color or different colors.

SUPPORT MULTIPLE FILAMENTS: The Tenlog TL-3 Pro 3D Printer is suitable for various filaments like 1.75mm PLA, TPU, PVA, HIPS ABS, wood, etc. You can choose a filament that suits your needs according to the filament you need to print the perfect model.

4.3'' TOUCH COLOR SCREEN: Tenlog TL-3 Pro 4.3”’s Touch Screen is easy to operate with its brand new friendly UI. Preview the model and printing process on screen, allowing offline printing. Say goodbye to the traditional manual knob screen.

EASY TO ASSEMBLE: It comes with several assembled parts. You can assemble the 3D printer in 3 steps, with its user manual, in about 5 minutes.

Dual Material Printing
You can use two colored filaments to print on the model to obtain two-color models or use two different filaments to print soluble supports (such as PVA) to accurately achieve difficult-to-place models.

Duplication Mode Printing
You can print two identical models of filaments (or the same or different filaments) of the same color or different colors on the Tenlog 3D printer at the same time, thereby doubling the printing efficiency and saving you time!

Mirror Mode Printing
You can print two symmetrical models of filaments (or the same or different filaments) of the same color or different colors on the Tenlog 3D printer at the same time, the two nozzles are dual-driven at all times for printing, and the two models are immediately aligned with the mirror.

Resume Printing Function
In the event of an unexpected power outage or surge, the control board will remember the last recorded position of the extruder. After the power is restored, The 3D printer will resume printing from the last recorded position.

Filament Runout Detection
When the filament runout detection detects that the filament such as PLA or ABS are used up or broken, the 3D printer will save the information and suspend printing, waiting for the 3D printer to feed the filament again to continue printing.

Unique near-end and direct-drive design
Tenlog 3D Printer uses a direct drive extruder and a powerful near-end silent motor design so that it can print various filaments, such as TPU, PVA, PLA, ABS, HIPS, WOOD, PETG, flexible.

I think the duplicator mode is not at all a good reason to purchase this thing. It is a nice feature if you are purchasing it regardless, but you dont purchase this printer for that feature alone. If that is the main reason for purchasing this printer, then you purchase 3 or so Ender 3s and get just as quick print time with less of a chance of failure.

With that said, I am NOT at all bashing this printer or most of what you said in the video. I just disagree with that specific statement. You purchase this printer if you want to print multiple colors at once, that is where it shines. If you happen to use the duplication feature then great, just dont make that a primary reason for getting this machine.

I just picked the same printer, but cannot get the speed up. I am using Cura and factory included files. From the video, the machine appears to be traveling faster. Would care to provide your settings? tks. Great video, by the way.

Does this printer have thermal runaway?

How did you adjust the belt tension for the x-axis belts? I can't find any adjustment on mine, and the belts are a little loose as was with yours.

Great video, But how do you slice for the mirror prints? do you have to tweak your printer setting in Cura or Simplify3d? Neither seems to work for me. do you have any suggestions?

[ducktective]

how does the accuracy compare to other printers. all reviews on this product seem to skip over that not showing detail differences or even printing a benchy.

Quick question on the Duplicate mode. When slicing do you just place the model int he center of the slicer or do you need to move it off to the side? I ask because I just tried the Dulpicate mode and with the model in the center of the slicer when I sliced it my second extruder started slicing half off the bed. I have to move the print over to the left a bit when I slice it. Is that the same for you? Just curious.

[OutdoorsmenLee]

how is the quality of the prints compared to a single? Looks like the quality isn't as good.

[shanyin]

Would you forsee any difficulties using PVA filament for supports with this printer?

Hola, consulta no hay perdidas de temperatura? Si lo pongo a 220 de temp no baja a 210temp y sigue imprimiendo?, llega a imprimir a 240 de temp

Can your son print us some trichlor tabs ? We are in need here...

[turtleguy]

How can I dual extrude on the printer with cura

[balancenoptions]

Do you use simplify 3D with this printer?
