Tenlog Hands 2 Dual Extruder 3D Printer

 The Tenlog Hands 2 3D printer is a great compact Dual Extruder Printer. The nice feature of the Tenlog Hands 2 is that each extruder functions independently from the other. This means that you can print with two different color filaments, print in Duplicate Mode and in Mirror Mode. This gives you many more options over the single Extruder printers.




For a size comparison, the Ender 3 is the closest in overall size and build area. The Hands 2 bed is slightly smaller than the Ender 3 and comes in at 8.6” X 8.6” X 9.8” which seems small but it is actually bigger than most of the Dual Extruder printers on the market today. If you are looking for a larger build area I suggest the Tenlog TL-D3 which has a build area of 11.8” X 11.8” X 13.8” – quite larger than the Hands 2.

My son uses these printers for his 3D printing business. He currently has the Ender 3, Flashforge Finder, Anycubic Chiron, Tenlog TL-D3, and now the Tenlog Hands 2. Here is his Etsy storefront if you are interested in any of his prints.

Here is more on the Hands 2:
INDEPENDENT DUAL EXTRUDER DESIGN Our Hands 2 Dual Extruder 3D Printer has double nozzles that are independent of each other, allowing you to print in duplication and mirror mode. You can also choose two different colors or materials to create at the same time or print with soluble support (such as PVA) to precisely implement models that are difficult to lay down.

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 filament,such as TPU,PVA,PLA,ABS,HIPS,WOOD,PETG,flexible.

3.5'' TOUCH COLOR SCREEN Tenlog Hands 2 3.5”’s Touch Screen is easy to operate with its brand new friendly UI. Preview the model and printing process onscreen, allowing offline printing. Say goodbye to the traditional manual knob screen.

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

WARRANTY AND SERVICE We provide a 1-year warranty for the 3D printer and a 3-month warranty for the extruder. With lifetime technical support as well. If you have any questions about the product, you can send an email to amazon@tenlog3d.com and we will reply within 24 hours!

The Hands 2 has many great features that are listed above. Since my son prints, lots of small parts the Duplicate mode is the best feature since it is liking having 2 printers working at once. Two prints that would take 4 hours to complete now take 2 hours. This really helps to maximize his production and since he mainly prints small objects the build area is more than sufficient. To be honest he has yet to use up the build area on his TL-D3 or Anycubic Chiron. So nothing is really lost with he Hands 2 size.

The only negative I can think of is that the bed leveling takes some work. Not only do you need to level Extruder 1 but you also need to manually adjust Extruder 2 so that it prints correctly. A bit of a chore and one that needs to be repeated as the bed gets out of level. But minor compared to all of the overall great features of the Hands 2.

We purchased both printers on Amazon and here are the links for you:

Can I Use Clorox Bleach in my Pool?

Image
Regular Unscented Bleach I started doing pool service when I was 16 years old back in 1988. I took a break from the industry and did some Real Estate Investing and ran a small business for awhile. But I always loved working outdoors and so I decided to do pool service again. So I have about 15 years of practical experience in the field. My specialty has always been water chemistry as I was formally trained by an experts in the field. So I am well versed in most of the chemicals that are on the market today and I have used and tested a lot of different products. So when you hear those in the industry discourage and even slander anyone who uses bleach in their pool, you may think that it is not a product that you should use. In fact as you read this article you will find that using bleach and only bleach is a safe and smart choice. There is a lot of ignorance surrounding household bleach and the use of bleach in a swimming pool. Here is a video I made that goes in more detail on usin

Mr. Pen Non-contact Voltage Meter - Don't Get Electrocuted!

Image
One of the biggest issues you will run into with anything connected to an AC power is if that device or equipment is receiving power. In the pool service industry, this often is the case when you find that a pool pump won’t turn on. Or if a pool timer doesn't on, is it receiving power? Also for repairs with so many breakers being unmarked, how do you know you turned off the right breaker. Bottom line, a non-contact detector like the Mr. Pen is an easy way to see if power is going to the equipment/device and the line is active. A non-contact voltage detector is just that. You don’t need to make contact with the line like with a Multimeter. Plus you don’t need to adjust any settings or knobs to get a voltage reading. Simply hold the Mr. Pen over a cord or wire whip and if there is AC power a red light will turn on and an audible beep will come out of the device. A very easy way to tell if power or a current is present.  To order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092LFYTG5?&_encoding=UT
