Had to exchange the first one. Second works great. I'm a first time user, did have some difficulty. But did figure things out. There is a Facebook group that also helps.

Have used this printer to print several successful parts so far

Pros: sturdy frame, heated bed, pretty decent print quality right out of the box as long as you dont print fast, fairly accurate.

Cons: board and firmware is very limited so dont expect much expansion without upgrading the board, so far it has done pretty well its comparable to a much more expensive machine once you get it dialed in, however you have to print fairly slow to achieve those results

Overall i am very satisfied with this machine and would definitely recommend to someone new to the market of 3d printers

This is my first 3d printer and let me tell you how amazing this machine is..
First, I'm not super handy with electronics or computer and I'm still able to manage this 3D printer without any problems. just make sure to go over the manual before operating.in conclusion, you'll find this simple. If you're not mechanically or electrically inclined, it will take you longer because you're surely being overly cautious.
The other thing that I was attracted to this printer was the value is just right not too expensive not too cheap.

Goes together easily, and prints really well. The only problem I've had, was adjusting the nozzle smashing into the buildplate, but that was an easy fix of adjusting the auto level sensor and z offset

Don't let the mistranslated product description fool you, Tronxy is very helpful with their products and everything is easy to understand. This printer is great for the price, It's consistent, and I've done mutable 10+hour prints flawlessly. My only issues are the touch screen GUI is cheap looking, the power supply fan is always on when switched on, (I think this was fixed with the updated silent board), and it has no auto off feature to shut off when the print is done. But it does have a filament sensor and if the power goes out at any point, the printer 'save states' where it last was, and when power is restored, you'll be prompted to resume your print, which has saved me on a 8 hour print.
Overall, it takes knowlage to use any 3D printer that isn't an expensive What you see is what you get printer, but TRONXY makes this great printer and cheap replacement parts if something breaks or even adding things like the bed leveler, and I love my XY2, If I need another printer, I'll look to TRONXY. Thanks!

This is my first 3D printer, have been on the fence about getting one of these for years. I have seen the pros and cons videos and comments online and youtube about 3D printers in general and waited. Glad I did! Got this TronXY-2 pro and LOVE it. It doesn't seem to have any of the problems people had with these things in the past. I don't know if it will do everything everyone wants, but it does EXACTLY what I need it for and it WORKS with my old 3D modeling software from the 90's! I was worried that old obj files weren't going to be backward compatible with new tech, but it TOTALLY works with the included slicing program that comes WITH the unit. Everything was in the box. The parts, the print bed, spare parts, the tools, a WHOLE spool of white PLA plastic, different nozzles, an SD card with drivers and slicing program and test models on it. Everything. As I'm writing this review, it's printing quietly in the corner small objects to be painted to go on my daughter's hat. After this, a new cell phone case for me, and who knows what after that. I'm LOVING it.

I could not give this unit a 5 star on beginners, as it had a couple of little hiccups upon setup. Nothing that could not be repaired with the included tools, but a little irritating none the less. The table would sometimes let me auto level the bed, and sometimes lock up making a terrible noise. I would have to turn it off, move the table by hand which would move fine then run it again. Later the table would lock up again. I found the belt was not tracking perfectly and had to adjust the front tensioner a tiny bit and has been running flawlessly since. I give TronXY-2 pro a BIG thumbs up!

It’s a nice printer! Great value.

A good design.

I’ve built 4 others Flsun Cube, A8, AM8 and He3d K200. So I have some experience with other builds and this printer build was enjoyable to put together and easy to use. Time to assemble and checkout about 3 hrs.

The things I like about this 3D printer:

It comes with a Printed illustrated manual the manual is also on the MicroSD card provided , there are a few minor details In the manual that could be improved, but very good overall! The biggest issue in the manual, is that before you mount the power supply make sure the 110/220 switch is in the right position! Mine was in the correct position 110v from the factory.

This printer has a good solid design almost all the parts are metal and sturdy. Assembly was straight forward and fairly simple. All parts fit as expected, many of the more complicated parts were pre assembled. There is plenty of extra hardware included.

Many of the upgrades I’ve added to other printers are already included in the design, it has power fail recovery , auto leveling, filament runout sensor, Full Color touch screen, removable PEI print sheet and some nice finishing touches.

Most of the wiring is done, all the cabling is labeled. It comes with a 24v 15Amp power Supply capable enough to heat the bed to 90c in about 10m. The heat bed comes with insulation pre installed.

The Hot end appears to be of good quality and come with a silicon sock. I experienced no issues with clogs or stuck filament.

The print quality is very very good.

Tronxy listens to customer feedback and update accordingly.

Things I don’t like, it comes with propriety firmware (there are online resources to flash Martin if you want).. Slicer Software for Windows is provided on the micro SD card, But no Mac sw (the printer works fine with Cura and others).

The control board comes Fixed drivers, it would be nice if you could replace them.

For the price you can’t do better. Many of the thing I don’t like can be a plus for those who don’t have a lot or any experience building printers. They’ve taken a lot of the guesswork out of the build.

Technical support.

I did have a problem, I contacted tech support via email and after verifying the problem they promptly sent a replacement.

TronXY will be a company to pay attention to! They are doing a lot right and make improvements based on feedback and make a great printer!

This is my second 3d printer. Comparatively, this frame is very solid, much less flexible. The instructions were adequate, although in the first step, it references 600mm extrusions which were not part of the kit. This appears to be a typo or something left over from a previous version.

Throughout the instructions, there are pretty poor english translations, but most of the pictures make up for it. I am fairly mechanically oriented and was able to build the kit in about 6 hours time.

The instructions did say to leave the frame loose and there was supposed to be an instruction to tighten it later, but never saw that. You should tighten the frame and square it before putting the power supply/controller box on and certainly before putting the XY motors and pulleys on.

The extruder gear was also not secured, and that was odd since the extruder was fully assembled, so check before you install.

The instructions also do not contain a valid procedure for leveling, which you need in spite of auto-leveling. You should manually level the bed before trying to auto-level it.

This is the first xy core 3D printer I have owned and the third 3D printer overall. My other printers are a Turnigy Mini Fabrikator V1, and a Tronxy 802MA

I decided I wanted a larger build volume than the 802MA and considered building a new printer from scratch, but learned about the X5SA from the Tronxy Facebook page and decided to try it out.

The printer was well packaged. Assembly time was about 5 hrs from opening the box to starting the first print. For the most part, the instructions were clear and easy to understand.
One issue I ran into was that the instructions show the rubber feet fully assembled and ready to install. The feet on my printer were not assembled, nor was there a hole in the base for the screw. It was pretty easy to figure out so I was able to move forward.
Another area that could be a bit clearer in the instructions would be to point out that the aluminum extrusions will only allow the screws to seat fully in the groove from one side, the screws sit on top of the rails if the extrusions are positioned incorrectly.

Assembly tools are included (screwdriver, wrench, and Allen wrenches). I would recommend using a small carpenter’s square or a roofing square and check the squareness of the frame many times during assembly. If the frame is not square and plumb, it will be very difficult to print with any accuracy and the error will get larger as the part size increases.

The fact that the wiring is already connected to the main board and routed through cable guides made the electrical installation fast and easy. All of the connectors are labeled so this step is simply a matter of plug and play.

The color control panel is bright and clear although the text is a little on the small size. The setup procedure in the instruction manual is easy to understand and the most difficult part is the initial auto leveling setup.

Auto leveling requires that the maximum difference between any two of the twelve reference points be less than 0.8 mm. This is accomplished by running the auto level procedure and then making adjustments to the bed level thumb wheels and running the procedure again until all of the measurements meet the 0.8 mm criteria.

Once the bed is leveled, it is time to print. For the first print, I used the 20 mm calibration file and the short length of PLA included with the printer. The calibration was very close on my printer out of the box. The 20 x 20 x 20 mm calibration part measured 20.2 x 20.1 x 19.7 mm, roughly 2% error. I still need to verify repeatability and do the fine calibration on each axis, but I am pretty happy with it at this point.

Other reviewers have said that this is not a good first 3D printer, but I’m not sure I agree completely with this assessment.
If you are a detail oriented person and take your time, this could be a good first printer. I would recommend this printer.

The printer came in a fairly large box that weight in the neighborhood of 30 lbs. I opened it and was pleasantly surprised in the way everything was packaged. Wow, TronXY went to a lot of trouble to keep everything separated and easy to find.
I laid everything out in their own groups, the beautifully painted frame, Z carriage pieces, gantry and hotend, power supplies, switches, a USB stick with a Micro SD card inserted, etc.
I found beautifully illustrated manual inside the box with step by step instructions, which I opened and got ready to assemble the frame. Everything is laid out in millimeters and, other than my calipers, all my measuring tools are in inches, so I had to do a lot of translating to inches to make sure I got the right pieces in the right place. When I tried to find the long parts of the frame I panicked because none of the 2020 or 2040 parts were anywhere near the length of the frame shown in the printed manual!
I finally plugged the USB drive into my laptop and opened the manual on there. FANTASTIC!! This manual had the right dimensions for MY machine. I have to believe the printed manual was for either the 400 X 400 or 500 X 500 models instead of my 330 X 330. In about an hour I was able to assemble the frame and put on the XY gantry and hotend. Be sure to slide the feet out as far as possible toward the end of the 2020 because you'll need the space to get the power supply and main board mounted when that step comes up.
XY motors were easy to figure out. Z wasn't too difficult but be aware that you will need to move the carriage to the top with the screws and snug it up, move it down a little and tighten it. If you don't do this, you'll wind up with the top bearing in the wrong place and the Z screw will be out of line, putting the Z carriage in a bind and adding extra work onto the Z motors, possibly even burning out a driver.
After mounting the heated bed, installing limit switches and wiring everything up, I was ready to try it out.
First thing I noticed was that the cable chain connection is very weak where it connects at the back. It kept coming loose and I finally had to print a support bracket for it on my other printer.
I started it and homed it, then ran the leveling routine. Wow, the machine does 16 points on the bed and does it quickly. I was worried that it did it so fast, so I ran it a second time and compared the numbers. Almost identical! NICE!!
Overall, I love this printer. I've added corner brackets for stiffness and I put OctoPrint on it but otherwise I've not changed it. I will print with it for a while and see how well it prints.

Muy conforme con el producto. Exelente relación calidad precio

The frame is straight and tough enough. After the assembly, there are many parts about the stock. Of the minuses-bad bearings of rollers, on which the belt goes, rotate smoothly. The same bearings in the rollers on which the carriage rolls on the frame are excellent.

First it was nice to see a lot of the bits preassembled. The printer went together very quickly, a couple hours ( I have built these before ). The only assembly issue I had were the vertical linear rails and how they mount. The instruction say to place a spacer ( washer ) on the top of the rail, problem is it doesn't fit. After looking a bit, I realized the rail is supposed to slide into the hole in the Z-Axis stepper motor mount. Problem is the paint in the hole keeps that from working. I cleaned out the hole, now the bottom screw will pull the rod down so I could fit the washer, then, I loosened the screw on the bottom so I could tighten the top ( let the rail slide back up ), finish off by snugging down the bottom screw. Do not over tighten this because you will pull the rail down, bowing it. This will be apparent when you do the auto bed leveling.

That was long winded for the only assembly issue I had, hope it helps others.

operationally the printer works very well. I wish it had open firmware but whats there is not terrible. It can be changed but will take some work. From a stock perspective, it all works fine. I printed the sample cube/cylinder demo and saw no bad behavior in the print.

I did not use the included slicers, I use Simplify3D and it worked with no issues.

So ends up I will give this one to my grandkids and build the pro version to keep for myself.

Things to keep in mind, if you have never built a printer before, this kit is probably not for you.

I got the kit last Monday and it was packaged really well and neatly amongst styrofoam sheets. There is an instructions manual, and its pretty decent quality. It goes through your parts list, how to get started, along with color coding what is being used on the current step. It can get a bit busy as you're progressing through, so I would also recommend going to YT and watching the video TRONXY has on this printer.
A couple things come preassembled like the motors, the hot end, rollers, and control box for the X-Axis, Extruder, and Filament sensor. Power supply and control board are preassembled as well, so the electronics are essentially plug n play.

One of my idlers for the gantry came chipped (see 3rd picture) and I was able to reach out to TRONXY's support and they are sending me a new idler. However, this is not the only OC issue I've run into. The timing belts were twisted and would not tighten, so I did have to replace them. So far the movement on the X and Y axis has been pretty stable, with a few hiccups here and there.

Z-Axis has been a hassle, while both motors are running at the same time and thankfully at the same rate. When trying to home however, the Z axis keeps moving up and thus colliding with the hotend assembly, making a god awful sound and time for everyone involved. That said, this is likely more like Operator error than it is anything on the printer's part as this is my first CoreXY style printer build.

Update 11/13 —This was entirely operator error. I did not loosen the x carriage, which caused the belts to loosen which in turn caused the printer to be unable to accurately place the x assembly where it needed to be to move. Once it was properly adjusted, I was able to print the calibration model that came on the sd card and while I did have a couple of bottom layer issues, the rest of the model printer fine.

I would definitely recommend this printer to other intermediate hobbyists, but not to beginners. I've had several 3d printers now and feel comfortable enough to be able to build one of these and get it up and running in no time, even if I have to trouble shoot for a while. That said, the instructions manual does come with some basic trouble shooting help. If that doesn't solve your issue, you could always reach out to TRONXY's support team who are super friendly and will respond within 24 hrs, not including when they have holidays.

I love this printed. I am a first time 3d printer person and with a little research I have managed to get some surprisingly good quality prints out of this printer. Further I plan on getting a glass plate which I found was highly recommended for 3d printers in general and I think it will also help with the quality. Amazing printer for the price.

Amazing price for a Large core XY printer! Setup is straightforward if you’ve built an ender 3 or similar printer. The updated 24v printer addresses almost every complaint the 12v x5sa has, they really listened to their reviews. TONS of extra hardware, but still missing the wrench for M3 nuts

ABL is working great so far with Z offset adjusted

You may need to team/drill 8mm holes for paint leftover on the z rods , upgrade to metal z rod bearing over plastic would be nice

Precision hex drivers are a lifesaver with this many screws for assembly

Silicone extrusion covers are excellent for cable management, cut off 1 inch strips and put over cables in the aluminum extrusion slots

My first printer was an Anet A8 it took 5 hours to build. this Tronxy x5sa only took 2. it was easier to understand the instructions, quicker to build because it is partially assembled. after the bed leveling and setting the Z offset and adjusting the auto bed sensor it has been printing great with no issues. I changed the print surface to PEI because it was a bit difficult to remove prints off the stock print surface. I plan to change out the fan on the cpu because it is crazy loud. so far this is by far my favorite printer beating out my ender 3 for ease of use, especially bed leveling and print volume. I look forward to a very large print now that I've got it dialed in. as with any printer bed leveling and z offset is one of the most important parts of initial set up so take your time and be sure to do it right. I missed saving the z offset by touching the set z as 0 button and it dug into the bed surface so be careful to save the z offset.

The assemble time for me was about 8 hour it comes with decent instructions with picture but they also have a great YouTube video that I used to assemble the printer. I also like the removable metal print bed so far after 3 prints I have not need any glue or hair spray. With the bed only moving in z I'm able to get quality prints running at 60mm/s. The one down side I didn't expect was that you have to set the z offset every time you shut the printer off other than that it's as good as I expected. And the service provided by tronxy is excellent they are. Willing to help with any problems you have after purchase.

This printer is not for beginners. Baught this for my mother as she was so interested in the projects I've been doing with my hoard of printers. This kit required lots of adjusting and came with very little literature. Not a whole bunch online about this specific model. I had to open the access to the board and adjust the potentiometer for extruder motor voltage adjustment as it was set super low. This is by far more then a normal person could troubleshoot. More ease of use needs to come out of the factory before this can be considered consumer friendly. All in all after hours of tinkering and researching what I could I was able to get it working and my mother is able to print things on her own with it.

Muy buen artículo, fácil de armar
