i have over 60 hours on this little priter the only issue i had was the stringing everywhere ended up being the cheap nozzel they put on it! after picking up a quality nozzle its been doing great..this is my first 3d printer and its super easy to use and changing the nozle was easy. auto leveling works best if you manually level first than auto level. the slicer comes on the SD card so you have to install it on you pc was easy to use as well. only down side to this printer is the sd card slot is in the back of the printer instead of the front.

 This is a good, but not great, printer.First, the positives:* It has a larger than average build surface of 255x255x 245mm.* It comes with a Titan dual-gear extruder (although it’s made of plastic). It worked very well with TPU on my test print.* It also has a form of rudimentary bed leveling system, although it’s not a true ABL. More of a bed leveling measurement system.* It is VERY easy to assemble, with only one ribbon cable, and one wire connector to hook up, and 4 bolts to insert and tighten. Took me maybe 10 minutes.* The control panel is a color touchscreen.* If you use the Tronxy-provided slicer, you get an image of your print on the screen.* The is a filament runout sensor.The negatives:* The Tronxy UI is confusing, at best, and the included manual did little to help out.* The SD card slot is in the back. Why would they do this?* The adjustment wheels for bed leveling are tiny.* Spring clips to hold the build surface to the heated bed are multi-colored. Just looks childish.* The bed springs are weak.* It seems the inlet to the extruder has an adaptor to allow for 2.85mm or 1.75mm filament, but whatever this black plastic cone is, it kept coming out whenever I changed filament. DON'T LOSE THIS!* They provided a flexible build plate and a greenish fiberglass plate, but didn’t say what to do with either of these. Turns out the fiberglas goes between the heated bed and the build surface, but I only learned this on the Tronxy FaceBook group.* There is no obvious way to adjust eSteps, zSteps, xSteps or ySteps. I believe you can if you flash Marlin into the machine.The filament roll holder is just a flat piece or metal. Not exactly smooth.Thoughts:The white elephant test print came out surprisingly well. I also printed out a blue TPU device to allow me to re-spool filament using a cordless drill, and I have to say, this is the best out-of-the-box TPU print I’ve ever done. I used the generic TPU (95A) material in Cura.I haven’t tried the Tronxy slicer, as I’m a long-time Cura user. Cura had a profile already available, and it worked well.This is a simple and elegant design, and for the money, it's a very good deal. I’m probably going to move to Marlin fairly quickly. I guess if I had never seen another printer I would learn the Tronxy UI, and it would be ok, but it seems too many things I need to do quickly aren’t obvious, and I need to get beyond learning the XY-2 and start using it ASAP.For the price, this is a good unit, and I recommend it. See the video and photo’s.

 I love this printer however, two things I am likely to change to my personal tastes:1) Autolevel2) BMG extruder over the Titan.Thats about it for this silky smooth printer!!

I bought this so I could make deck boxes, and these have been perfect! very smooth almost perfect, there is some overhang but its 99% perfect. That's without changing the nozzle fan airflow that a lot of 3d printer engineers do, so im sure this could be made better, but for the price I'm more than happy and am glad I bought this over a more expensive 3d printer.The green Deck boxes I made first, and the blue was after some tweaking in my slicerTIPS?: (might just work with smaller objects and even then maybe just to me)1. Don't trust the computer, trust the first layer. Use it to get a good estimate but if its not sticking give up on having a nice surface stop and save the plastic if thats what you want.2. to get the plastic to stick, the flimsy sheet sticks much better, but if the nozzle isn't close enough and the first layer is stringy, stop it, and make sure to use a brim or something similar3. Combing mode was my savior, if your printer goes over a lot of open space and you notice a lot of string, combining mode not only made my prints better but cut down the time by 44%. The green decks were made without combining mode all, and they took 11 to 12 hours to print when the blue only took 7if the printer gets bad in the future ill update how long it lasted and if my opinion changed

Works better than most printers. Haven’t had a single problem with this masterpiece. Love it

This is the easiest printer I have ever put together, level, and get going. Seriously, there are only 8 screws you have to adjust, connect a few wires, and maybe tighten a roller (it comes with all the tools for setup and a micro sd card and usb micro sd card reader/writer). The motors are super quiet and has many features that you would expect in a printer that cost over 3x what this one does. This thing has exceeded my expectations!

very easy to assemble and setup and whisper quiet ,,, would buy again,,, time from out of box to printing 1/2 hr.......

This is a really reliable printer, it's pretty quiet and works really well. It's built solid and super easy to assemble, just 4 screws and you're done. I actually bought 3 of these printers over Christmas for my 3d printing business as workhorse printers and they haven't failed me yet. The auto bed level works great and the LCD touch interface is very fast and responsive I was really impressed actually. The Heating bed and Nozzle heat super fast, like impressively fast, the bed especially, like within 30 seconds fast. One more thing, DONT use this for ABS filament, it will print, but you will destroy the heating pad (The flexible pad is great as well). I bought 3 of these so I'll leave the same review for the other two.

For a little bit over $200 it’s a nice 3D printer, perfect for a beginner. It also come just as describe.

This printer has thoroughly impressed me, it printed extremely well with minimal setup, and after throwing on an all metal hotend, a brass e3d volcano heater block, a hardened steel nozzle, a dual drive extruder, and a custom firmware (most of which were very easy mods to do), it prints almost perfectly.The only downside i found with the stock printer is there is no live Z offset adjustment (i use this feature a lot on my ender 3, your mileage may vary)

This is a substantial upgrade from the Ender 3. Auto Leveling is a godsend. I had a few stringy prints but I haven’t tinkered with the parameters much I’m sure it can be refined. Great machine for the price. Would definitely recommend this over the Ender 3.

This is the first 3d printer that I've bought and I have had a lot fun with it. It is a bit of a learn as you go kind of deal if you've never done it before but I'm happy I bought this.

Nothing motivates a Dad like making a his son's dreams come true. Four year olds dream big and my son wanted a chain garbage truck . I found one made by Tonka ages ago but all of them were missing parts and parts aren't available. It left me with the need to create parts. That's what motivated me learn TinkerCAD and to watch 2 days of 3D printer reviews and what I learned from that was what features and price point I wanted to be at. I was ready to buy an Ender 3 and do extensive modification. The budget was getting blown quickly. Then I saw this printer. I watched from reviews and frankly you can geek out on specs and stuff but what I found is that this printer might not be the youtube favorite it would do the job. It far exceeded my expectations. The truck is a Christmas gift so it's going to have to wait but I decided to make my son an auger for his Bruder Bob Cat. Another 4 year old dream. It entailed a bracket for the skid steer and the auger. A ball and socket joint connection. 2 parts that would have to fit perfectly together. So basically I started with the most difficult thing you could print. Cantilevered surfaces and parts that needed exact tolerances. Well this printer nailed it out of the box. Couldn't be happier with it. But most importantly it made me Dad the hero who made another 4 year old dream come true.It comes with everything you could need. Plenty of filament. I am so happy with this purchase. Can't go wrong. AND!!! CURA 4.7 has it listed now so slicing settings are ready to go. I do advise that you use Normal print quality as the extra fine print quality slicing settings need tweaking so just start with normal and you'll be off to printing. The auto bed leveling is incredible. It's just a no brainer. Torture free and easy to use. You don't have to overthink this one. I am just an average guy with average knowledge. I am not an expert by any means. I think the pictures say it all.One last thing. I know there are Ford Truck Guys and Chevy Truck Guys. I've had both. I have not had an Ender 3 but this TronXY machine is like my GMC truck it's just eons better for the money than a Ford. :)

For a low priced 3d printer I am VERY pleased with the quality of the print from my new Tronxy. It is also SO MUCH quieter than the one we already own. For someone with experience, it was very easy to get set up and printing.

My husband and I were looking to get into 3d printing. We did quite a bit of research before settling on this one. I don't usually write reviews, but it was so hard finding information on this printer, I want to put some more out there in case someone else is researching which printer to buy. Our criteria were as follows. We wanted decent print quality, room to grow the printer once we got our feet wet and a machine that worked well enough without tinkering for us to get a good start. It also had to be quiet since we were planning on having it in our living space.The things we liked about this printer were ease of setup (we were precise and followed the clear instructions), good prints from the get go, most upgrades already included (auto bed leveling, quieter motherboard, decent bowden couplings, better extruder etc). There is a dearth of information about this printer online relative to other similarly priced printers, but the reliability of the included parts more than made up for it.I recommend this printer for people who like to tinker as there was a bit more footwork required to find out how to calibrate certain aspects of the print where the firmware was involved (Chitu firmware instead of Marlin) and setting up Octoprint needed some extra steps. There was also one problem with the printer out of the box that required us to troubleshoot some bizarre under-extrusion. That ended up being that the hot end side of the bowden tube had not been cut straight and so a plug of plastic developed between the nozzle and the tube. I'm not knocking off any stars for that because this is still a bang up printer and I have been consistently impressed by how well it is performing even while the plug was in place. As with any piece of equipment meant for consumer fiddling, it does have things that need to be checked and maintained so don't expect to print well completely effortlessly. However, even after much research and now that I know what all the points on the box mean, if I had to do it again, I would still buy this one gladly. We have successfully been printing both PLA and ABS for a few weeks now.

 My wife and I decided to purchase a 3D printer for Christmas this year. We are both absolute novices to the technology. We saw it as an investment, being able to make clay cutters for her jewelry business and I was hoping to use it to prototype projects I was interested in building. We did our homework and decided on the Tronxy XY-2 Pro. We have not been disappointed by our decision. This printer is an affordable machine capable of detailed work. It was extremely well packed and all components, including a sizable spool of filament, tools, and spare parts, were organized within. Assembly took less than 60 minutes and that included watching two videos. (One from Tronxy that takes you step by step through the assembly process and another one from an independent reviewer that disassembled the printer to show that it is well made.) The actual assembly process consists of attaching the control panel (prewired and attached to the frame for shipping) with two bolts, mounting the gantry (upper bracket) with 4 bolts, and topping the structure with the filament bracket with two more bolts. That’s it – eight bolts. There are two wiring harnesses to plug in, plus the power cord. I checked out the rest of the preassemble frame, printer bed and other moving components. They were all tight with little to no play. The machine was literally ready to print in less than an hour.In our research, we found that bed leveling was crucial for quality prints, so we spent time both manually leveling the bed with the spring-loaded thumb screws, as well as running the auto leveling program that is part of the system software. Over the dozen prints we have made since purchase the bed has kept its level (I run the auto-level program before each print session to confirm.) The other issue our research pointed out was filament adhesion on the first level. Tronxy included a hot bed “sticker” which is actually a 10 inch by 10 inch piece of fiberglass that you clip onto the hot bed (The XY-2 Pro is capable of printing an object approximately 10” X 10” X 10”). In our research, it was recommended that you use blue painters tape or glue sticks to improve filament adhesion, but we have not used anything but Isopropyl alcohol to clean the print surface between projects, and we have had no issues with our prints popping off the board before they are done.Loading filament is a breeze, and as shared above, Tronxy includes a sizable spool of white filament with the printer. The loading process is simply running the filament into the filament detector (that also warns you when you have run out of material), through the Titan extruder, and on down the feed-pipe to the printing head. Tronxy also includes several pre-sliced projects with the system software. Our first print was the “Rook”, a castle tower, complete with a spiral staircase inside. The bed and nozzle heated quickly as you can watch the temperatures rise in real time on the color touch-screen monitor. It took 8.5 hours to print the 2-inch wide by 3-inch tall model, but the detail was amazing. We had read about “salmon skin” on prints caused by vibration, but as the detail photo shows, the layers were evenly distributed. We then created a clay cutter pattern, sliced it in Cura, and printed it as both a single cutter and as multiple cutters simultaneously. These also came out clean and ready for my wife to used in her Jewelry making. I then changed filament to a dark color (purple), and printed Tronxy’s Octopus. Each arm on the model is linked like a chain allowing the arms to dangle and move. Again, we are very impressed by this machine, especially as novices, and recommend it to anyone planning to jump in and get started quickly.

This was my second attempt at getting into 3D printing. My first was a refurbished Monoprice that I could not get dialed in at all, and after many failures, just gave up. So after reading many reviews for a starter printer that had features I wanted, (auto level, resume print, filament detection) I went with this one. The instruction booklet is great, and takes you step by step through assembly, leveling, and print set up. If you follow the instructions you'll be up and printing within an hour. My first test print of the dino model went off without a hitch. Being a 10 hour print, I was impressed by the pin jointed dino model, and was surprised it printed the joints as the whole model printed. It's a solid little printer with a good build area. The only cons are the location of the SD card port, and the short power cord.

The LCD screen and menus are fantastic, and the leveling functions are awesome. For the price point, this printer is excellent for the beginner/hobbyist.
