If you want to print without any hassle or teach kids about 3d printing then Sculpto pro2 3d printer is here. It comes pre-assembled by the production line. Just add a build plate and you ready to go. It is completely wireless you so you can use your mobile, tablet, or PC through Sculpto App to interface with the printer. In the Sculpto app, you get access to 1,00,000+ designs.
Your conventional 3D printers come with a fixed bed over which the extruder moves in the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis. You may have also seen 3D printers with beds moving back and forth. But, this Sculpto Pro2 has a rotating bed, yes a rotating bed.
The Sculpto pro2 3d printer has a double rotating axis. One for the build plate and one for the extruder. It is an upgraded version of Sculpto+. Both versions of the sculpto Printer have the best safety measures, which everyone wants to be looked at.

Print Performance
Sculpto Pro2 3d Printer has TMC2208 -LA under the base thus it produces very low noise through the stepper motors. It is said by the company that its noise level is lower than 45dB while printing. So you can use this printer even in your bedroom. You can give printing instructions and go to sleep.
The swivel mechanism of Sculpto Pro2 makes it different from other FDM printers. These dual rotating mechanisms make printers fast and reduce print time. Sculpto pro2 does not have any weight on the hot-end so the hot-end can move speedily in any direction.

Body Construction
Overall printer build quality is rigid. The bottom part of the printer is made of Industrial plastic. The z-axis build is also rigid and works pretty fine. Also, the Extruder and hot-end part also made of plastic. The linear Bearing of the z-axis is smooth and the threaded rod did not bubble.
Print Options
Sculpto app gives you three print quality options Fast, Normal, and Fine. While observing the print of each quality, the Fine option gives you the best result. This printer is for kids and beginners so you have to compensate a little bit with quality.
Fexible Build Platform
The Build-platform of the Sculpto Pro2 3D printer has a flexible magnetic sheet that attracts the base plate. So you do not require to remove the entire build plate from the printer to remove the print. You only need to remove the upper flexible sheet to take your print. Flexible Sheets allow users to remove print without the use of any force. Just bend the sheet and your print gets removed from the build sheet.

Conclusion
Sculpto Pro2 3D printers are simple and easy to use. It is best for educational purposes for kids and also useful for beginners. It has many Safety levels and it is friendly to work with as it is very quiet.
The printer Build Quality is good. But if any hobbyists want to use this printer so it is difficult for it because of the absence of another interface. Also upgrading the parts of the printer little tedious due to its compact design.
Yes, the heat bed of the Slupto Pro2 3d printer is kept in place with the help of magnets. Thus, it becomes very easy to remove the bed after printing is finished.
In my opinion, the extruder part of Sculpto Pro2 is the weakest part of the printer. As it is made of plastic it can’t reach higher printing temperatures i.e. 210-220. You have to use low-temperature filaments for printing.
