オートレベリングの調整に失敗して、ビルドプレートをいきなり傷つけるという大失態はあったものの、現在は問題なく印刷できています。ラフトの上に印刷してるので傷もつきませんし。
よかった点
・オートレベリングは設定がむずかしかったが、一度設定できれば便利
・大きいことは良いことだ。
困った点
・日本語情報が少ない
1号機ENDER-3はネットにさまざまな情報がありましたが、こちらの機種は日本語の情報がかなり少なめ。とはいえオフィシャルの組み立て動画を見ながら5〜6時間で組み上げました。ENDER-3の組み立て経験がなければ、心が折れてたかも。
オートレベリングの調整の情報は全く見つけられなかったので、センサーの高さ調整とZ軸調整を根気よくやりました。
・プリントサイズは公称より少し小さめ
330×330はテーブルの大きさ。ビルドシートなどをクリップで挟んでると少し小さくなります。
・純正の消耗品が売ってない？
ノズルやビルドシートなど、純正品を売っておいて欲しい。
工夫した点
テフロンチューブが商品写真のように上手いこと上向いてたわまないので、ホームセンター金具で支柱をつくりました。
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.
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.
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
そこから、操作方法を試し、調整、テストプリントで2時間で出来ました。
なかなか、良さそうな感じです。また、しばらく使い込んだら、レビューします。
注文の翌日に届きました。
プリンターは2台目で、組み立て品は初めてなのですが、休み休み5時間程で組み立て、動作確認まで出来ました。
取説は英語のみでしたが、絵が沢山で、ポイントも分かりやすく悩むことはありませんでした。
組み立て用のネジ類はかなり余計に入っていて安心できました。
少し高かったですが、10%値引きで、この造形の大きさ、z軸センサー、カラーのタッチ液晶、停電復帰などの機能を考えるとむしろ安いのかも知れません。
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.
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.
It comes with all of the tools you need to build the machine and adjust the already assembled bolts. The printer has a filament run out sensor that will automatically pause a print if you are about to run out. The pause feature is great for swapping out filaments! Leveling is also easy as the firmware has a leveling procedure to help me level 5 points on the bed. This might be a tough first printer for a new user, but some trial, adjustments, and tuning is always needed with a new machine. I'm really enjoying this one and it is up and running with great results!
The printer arrived in 2 days and was packed neatly with foam. Assembly took around 20 minutes. Then I ran into a problem, the nozzle wouldn’t heat up and kept on giving me an error screen. I contacted Tronxy and Abby helped me diagnose the problem and sent me a replacement board the next day. Installed and now prints great!
Pros:
-Great build quality
-Easy assembly
-Tools
-Amazing customer service
-Touch screen controls
Cons:
-Touch screen settings and features were confusing at first. Organized differently than standard LCD screens running marlin.
5/5 Would definitely buy again!
I installed the software and sliced my own marvin to compare to the other high quality printer's i own. All i can say is wow. I was very surprised at the quality. This was a quick print, took 19 minutes. With a few firmware updates and tweaks this printer will print just like my high end ones.
