Back in 2017, Chinese 3D printer manufacturer Tevo had a sizable share in the budget FDM sector. Though some of its early models had their quirks, overall, the company offered decent FDM machines for a decent price (we especially liked the Tevo Flash and the Tevo Tarantula Pro).
But in early 2020, Tevo went silent. Though their printers could still be bought through various Chinese vendors, the company was MIA for most of the year. The website went offline, support was nonexistent, and Tevo stopped monitoring its Facebook forums.
Fast-forward to today and it looks like the company’s back. A post in Tevo’s official Facebook group announced that they have rebranded as Homers 3D Printer (yes, without an apostrophe).
The company – in an apparent homage to Greek mythology (and not to be confused with Homer Simpson) – seems to have used Homer’s Odyssey as its theme and namesake.
The company’s website sports a shop where you can buy older Tevo stock. As of today, the store offers the following:
- Tevo Little Monster
- Tevo Nereus
- Tevo Michelangelo
- Tevo Tornado
It also announced the following improved versions of older Tevo models:
- Homers Odysseus, a renamed Tevo Tarantula Pro
- Homers Hector, which looks like a revamped Tevo Little Monster Delta 3D printer, sporting a 340 x 500 mm print bed size
- Homers Poseidon, a rebranded Tevo Nereus
- Homers Aeolus, a CR-10-type upscaled Tevo Tornado
- Homers Penelope, a resin 3D printer also known as Tevo Pulsar
The new shop is powered by Shopify; the company shows FCC, CE and RoSH certifications on their website. Although everything looks legit, please be aware that All3DP doesn’t have any experience with Homers 3D Printer so far, so we can’t judge the quality of shipping, support, or the improved printers yet.
