We have this one, its great!

If you want to learn the basics, this is a good buy. All you need is a spool of PLA Filament. and this (optional) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B...dt_b_product_details

It uses an app, so no pc required.

Doesnt ship to Canada and not listed on the Ebay.ca site.

Neat concept though. These are in the same price range right now too.

Do I have to use their Filament with it, or any I want?

On the box it says it uses Sculpo Filament.

I was wondering the same thing. If it is the same material (PLA) and same size, what difference is there?

I'm confused, as the Ebay link shows a Sculpto 2 3D printer for $89 and it just shows a box.

Amazon link is for 3D heated printer surface.

The listing had 15% off, guess it was a limited time thing?


You can use pretty much any PLA as along as its 1.75 mm

We've used a few brands and they all worked fine.


The amazon link is for magnetic bed. (two sheets of magnetic material, you trim it to fit the bed, then make a notch so it s easy to line the sheets up

makes removal so much easier, and keeps the bed in good shape.

So, you have two now?

Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow, and is now west of Amarillo, but it is FedEx so it is anybody's guess.

I installed Cura yesterday and am trying to figure it out.

Does your phone/tablet app talk to the printer directly or through Sculpto's servers? In other words, if their servers or the internet go down, can I still upload an .stl and control the machine?

I got this one to do a few quick videos about the printer, initial setup, setting up the app, common issues, etc.
The app is limited in that you can't rotate or change the infill percentage. But, it does 'magically' add the necessary supports. (although I sometimes turn that off if the part doesn't require supports)

I also usually turn off the raft.


You open the app. It asks for you to log into Thingiverse - you just click the printer icon on the bottom to get past that. The app connects to the printer. You import the file, you can resize it and move it around on the bed. Once it starts printing, it tells you that you can close the app. I do think you need to use the app to cancel a print.

I usually use the good or best print setting.

Before you print , it asks you to click the correct colors (the printer flashes colors to make sure you are actually physically there.
