The touch screen is really nice and is so much better than black and white screen that uses a wheel for control!
I was perplexed about how to level the print bed until I discovered the manual is on the included usb thumb drive.
I levelled it once and noticed the middle was too tight so I levelled it a second time with it just barely touching the paper (no scraping and was able to slide the paper back in after removing it).
Loading the filament was easy. Just preheat the nozzle and select the load button, then insert it by the geared entrance.
It loaded perfectly and the very first print attempt from the included sd card was perfect.
I also found a cura like slicer on the sd card and am printing my own design as I am typing this. The settings for the slicer can be found in the manual from the sd card. (The sd card fits into a usb holder so I use the terms sd card and usb interchangeably).
A couple of very minor things to overcome and then it prints like a dream. The bed adhesion is very good and the included scraper was too big to get under the print. I used the thin scraper I already owned with no problem.
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!
After contacting tronxy they swiftly assisted me and got another one sent out. They also included some extra filament for my troubles.
I had a few issues with cooling the controller and when I brought this concern to their staff they sent me a small fan that cools it down.
This printed has its little quirks but if you're willing to tinker around with it, it's a great 3d printer for the money!
I would highly recommend this to anyone who is comfortable working with their hands to get it up and running perfectly (:
If you ever have any troubles with it shoot their team an email, I would always get a response back in about 10 minutes!
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.
