Printer Setup
What program is used to create your own 3D designs? Cura program only allows sample files to print but I don’t see any options to create my own design
You need a 3d card program that can save a .stl file. I use Fusion 360 from autodesk.
What setup is needed for BMG extruder on TL Hands 2?
The conversion process is very similar to the D3. In order to change, you will need to change out the mounting blocks on the gantry as well as the E-steps in your printer settings. Then it should be plug and play.
Can one part be made of two different filaments going back and forth between different materials?
Yes. You can load two different filaments to be used how you set up in your design/slice software. The only real hold back is how everything is programmed but this is true with any printer. They are not automatic they must be set-up, programmed, and watched for accuracy.
Can it work with windows 11?
Yes, this unit can work with Windows 11. You may need to download additional drivers which can be accessed through the support tab on our website LNL3D.com
Is extruder bowden tube or direct drive?
This system is fully direct drive using a BMG type extruding mechanism.

Ours has not worked at all. We’ve contacted the company numerous times. They keep sending parts that “I” am supposed to install. I have a $600 paperweight. Don’t waste your money.
What is the measurements of the heat bed?
Hi, the bed measures 310mmx310mm or approximately 12″ x 12″
Bed leveling. Manual or automatic?
Bed leveling is manual. There is a leveling mode which moves the extruders to the four corners and the center in sequence, so you can level manually at those positions on the bed.

What is klipper?
Klipper is a 3D printer firmware that adds a few features different than Marlin. Klipper requires a separate control unit (usually a raspberry pi) that handles all of the gcode interpretation as well as running the web server. What this does is free up your mainboard to just complete simple commands. Usually klipper shines when you have an older unit that can’t really hold up to high speed or high volume of actions. Our customers have seen a huge increase in reliability after switching to Klipper.
