Tronxy X3

Picked up the Tronxy X3A from eBay for under $200. I knew going into it that it was a kit and needed some upgrades. Following the instructions and videos and all the advise I could find ahead of time on YouTube, I was able to get the printer running in a couple evenings of working on it. If you are mechanically inclined and know a little bit about machine assembly and operation this is not a bad printer. I have not had any major issues with it and it is producing great prints. 

Understand there is a lot that goes into 3d printing, and the printer is only one part of it. You have to have a good understanding of 3d design and how the printer works with the slicing software to be successful. 

Overall I would not recommenced this to a first time buyer, but would absolutely recommend it to anyone that knows what hey are getting into.

I built this Printer from a kit bought off Ebay for around £200. It was built on a wet day whilst on Holiday in about 6 hours. It went together absolutely fine and having self-levelling worked first time. I  chose it on platform size, build height and price - I cannot complain about anything on it. It does what it says. I use it linked to Repetier Host and Simplify 3D to produce G-Code and make setup movements easy and then print from Micro SD card using its inbuilt reader to free my PC up for other tasks. If you want good value and strong build at a great price then have a go !

Be careful during assembly not to over tighten the acrylic parts mounting screws. I broke the y axis servo mount and glued it back together to use as a pattern to make an aluminum part.

Don't rush assembly. Watch you-tube videos on how to fix plastic drip problems. Very easy to do and it will stop problems. Bed leveling is easy and works well if you follow instructions. I use wide blue painters tape with no glue and adhesion is no problem with PLA.

I give it all thumbs up. Prints are great with very little trimming etc.

La impresora tronxy 3X es muy simple de usar y con unos muy economicos simples Upgrades ofrecidos por una comunidad creciente rapidamente aumenta su calidad de impresion hasta un nivel mas que satisfactorio. la recomiendo para gente que incia y quiere probar una impresora

as above. will keep trying but not for long. this is the worse printer I had.

I own 3 Tronxy X3S and I am quite happy with them for both ease of use and printing quality at the price  of the printing unit I understand there are probably better printers out there but I like its simplicity.

If you find a good deal like i do then is a value for money. From the start point of building the printer it needs modifications that only can print. So to be that machine functional you need a friend with another printer ready to print lot of parts!

it is good

Larger than minimum build area. Fantastic quality of prints. Only con is it is NOT easy to assemble. Right from the start I was printing high quality parts, lithophanes and Christmas gifts. I am in love with my TronXY!
