This was easier to assemble than I expected.

My Tronxy x5sa is very nice and is very bug size for big prints. Easy to set up and I say this I have a huge technical knowledge but I never set up a 3D printer in my life. The only thing that I am disappointed is the bed. It has a bed that is all sort of jacked up. The metal bed is higher in the middle and low on all corners so if I make something that will stay in the middle it works great, anything big or multiple prints is will mess up and you will find some plastic wool. Which it leads me to another thing thw sticking to the bed. Most things won't stick to the bed. So I am looking for a solution to the problem, which I got a glass, the kind is for this items and the glass kept moving out of place even with clips, the finally got it to stay and the pla was getting spread, I need to set it up higher. I'm going to try PEI to see how it works. I wish I would have spent a bit more money and save me these issues. But I have time I'm just Essington with it.

Ok people, here's my review. I start with the bad but please also read the good.

The Bad:

Ok. Its been a week since I received this printer. First observation during the assembly wasn't that great for the QC department. Packaging on mine was good but they put the logo on my touch screen totally upside down. I have emailed them but have not heard anything back as of yet. Also I noticed that the Home micro switch for the X-Y plane was mounted in a Its almost my lunch time fashion and should have included some stand off spacers. It is in there at an angle because the switch protrudes from the circuit board. Because of this, Home is a little to the left of the platter than it should be. Not a biggie. Other than that and the logo upside down, I have not had any issues with the mechanics.

The software on the other hand is another situation. Software is included on the SD but I wouldn't waste your time installing it unless you already know how to use it. Its in depth and not that user friendly for beginners. Again, not their fault as they didn't make it. Also, you will not find this printer in any 3d software settings as a preset. Or at least I haven't as of yet. Correct me if someone has please but honestly really expected this due to the price. Because of this you will need to setup a generic printer device and put in as much information as you can. This brings me to another issue.
Other than the specs they give you on Amazon, no other in depth specifications are given in the box. A lot of which you really need to setup this printer in software. Personally I used the closed eyes, dart on the wall, method and it has worked out ok so far. I have found that checking the heat temp settings for the extruder and bed as well as the bed size will get you by. Or has me anyway. I think the Gcode these printers use is pretty generic. Their are a lot of other settings for 3D printers in the slicing software that will effect your print but it applies really to all of them so learn as fast as you can.

The wiring is a mess. Mismatched lengths cause hard to do wire management. As far as knowing what goes where, that is pretty straight forward, just don't expect it to look pretty unless you want to spend some time at it.

The Good:

Now to stop knocking it and talk about the good things. It prints. Just as well as a lot of the printers I've watched on YouTube. I've had several good prints and the normal bad ones. To fix the Software issue and get success, I use IceSL now and for my design I use FreeCad. Both are freeware. Hope I didn't just Jinx it. Again, if you get this printer, visit YouTube and search channels that are for 3D printing. You will find that not all of the issues are specific to this device. A lot of the issues you will experience happen to most “personal use” printers. Also, 3D printers in general are not really plug and play and do take some time to get used to.
I could sit here and nitpick everything about this printer but I'm not going to. It is my first printer and so far am happy with its results and because its my first, do not have enough knowledge in the craft as a whole to down it much. Their QC could use some work on the small components and small details. Even though may not effect performance, it can effect the overall vibe of the product.

Overall:

I think, so far, its a decent printer for what I've poured into it. Sure, I could have can spent more $$$, but this one does work for what I wanted and does work well once you get it dialed in. If I find I outgrow it, I’ll just invest in better model.

Oh and ya, I'll be editing this review if it craps out on me anytime soon. Longevity is also key to a good product.

Overall really happy with this printer and especially happy for the price point. When I 1st set it up the z axis end stop wasnt working, after a few minutes of diagnosing I found that the pin was loose in the main harness clip. Popped it back in and have been printing perfectly since.

I did decide to upgrade the spool real as the original either got in the way of my z screw nob or if it was mounted on top it was too sharp of an angle to go into the run put sensor. Also I immediately went to glass so I cannot speak on the included pei sheet.
