Hello, all. Apologies if this post is redundant or goes against any community guidelines or general best practices. I’m looking to buy my first ever 3D printer, and I came across some listings for the Entina Tina2 and its variants. It seems like an attractive option for me because of the price and the minimal setup required. I should also add that I don’t plan on doing any very serious printing; I’m talking about fairly light usage. So I am fully aware that this printer is quite limited and basic. I don’t mind that. What I’m asking is this: is it a complete waste of money? Does it do what it says on the box, or is it all scammy marketing? What red flags am I missing? Thank you in advance for your responses, and again, apologies if this post is inappropriate in some way.

    Thank you for the feedback. I don’t mind spending a few extra dollars, so I’ll definitely consider the Creality models. You’re completely right; vendor lock-in should be avoided.
