Very simple to put together. Great for a first timer like our family.
The program it came with is easy to use.

 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.

 Great machine for beginners. You can bolt it together level the bed and print. With some mods I am getting fantastic results with the xy2pro. Am even able to print flexible filament .
I always just ditch abl and add a z limit switch and glass bed to my printers but the abl feature did seam to work the 1 time I let it run. This type of sensor does not work reliably with a glass bed.

The machine showed signs of being tested at the factory( filament in hotend) which is very rare for a Chinese company.
The stock hotend cooler is less than optimal as it blows on the hotend also but just about any can duct for an ender 3 or x5s on thingiverse will work. Also print yourself some bigger knobs for the bed level screws and save the hasstle of the stock ones. The left rear is especially difficult to reach.

The chassis is all 20/40 and 40/40 extrusion and is very rigid. The rubber feet are quite stout too.

A very competent printer for the price point for sure with a few mods and very little money can be a great printer

There are also a few Facebook groups with fantastic members that can help out with any questions that may arrise

 this printer took me less than 30 minutes to assemble and start printing. i was surprised at how quiet it is. i did have to adjust the titan extruder to print with tpu and it was able to give me a good print with tpu at 60mm/sec which is twice as fast as my xy-2 pro with the standard extruder. Well worth the extra money for the upgraded version.

I am very happy with this filament. I like functional prints, so this first set of speaker mounts were a good test. They are nice and strong, good layering, and printed without any real noticeable issues at all. These are printed on my Geeetech A10M with Cura 4 settings as follows. Layer height 0.15 Wall thickness 1, 60% Cubic infill subdivision, speed 60, and a brim (although entirely unnecessary.

Great printer had I out of box printing in about an hour this is my fourth printer. Assembly on took about 30 mins. I like the quick setup the only thing I didn't like was that there is only one z motor but that doesnt seem to hinder performance. Other than that I would say it would be great for beginner or people who hate alot of assembly and adjustment.

This Silver silk filament was quite easy to print on my Ender 3 Pro. Didn’t have any adhesion or stringing issues. It has a very bright metallic shine to it, very light silver as oppose to darker silver on other silk filaments. Looks great, highly recommended.
