Review on 🎯 Optimized TRONXY Customized Plate: Enhance Precision in Large Industrial Applications by Ryan Lawson

When we open the box we can see all the parts for the printer. Including the Titan extruder manufactured by Tronxy. I do not recommend this. They have bad bearings which I have had to replace several times on my other Titan extruder machine. If you don't plan on using flexible filament, it's generally not worth it. Get a regular Bowden extruder. Then we see the chain links above the wiring. This is a major improvement for Tronxy as you can protect your wiring and not worry about them getting in the way or causing undue stress. Then there is the 400x400 bed. This is a big workspace. With a z-axis of 400, it's pretty easy to create one-piece large items like cosplay helmets and more. As for the original thread, it gives you almost nothing anymore. You used to have a small coil. Now you curl up a little and not even on the spool. Now let's talk more about the design of the knot. Instructions could use better graphical charts and real words to explain what to do. Of course, many other companies are just as bad at it. This printer took longer than expected to assemble. I also had a couple of certain sized screws that were missing from the box, as well as many others. Some didn't even open. I like the extra hardware, but it was a little overkill. I think this guide is good for building a model, but for building such a machine it needs to be more detailed. Finally there was some work to put this block in order. Some angle brackets would be nice to simplify this. Now let's look at some key elements of this printer that I want to highlight. Let's start with the Z axis: the dual stepper motor is great. This allows for an even height of the build plate when lowering. My problem is how they designed it. Compared to the Ender 5+, you need to mount both sides of the Z-axis, which engages directly with the cube's outer frame. Built on each side of the Z-axis, the Ender block has top and bottom plates that attach to the frame rather than being a direct part of the structure. With such a gap between the bed and the side walls, this could easily be implemented. This would leave the outer frame with its own structural integrity, but strengthen the Z-axis mounts. Next, let's talk about setting up the X and Y controls. It's overly complicated and prone to all sorts of problems. This could have been avoided by moving a beam along the x-axis and installing a stepper motor at the end and a pulley at the other end. This would be much easier than running the tape from the hot end to the side around three corners and then returning along the Y axis to the center of the opposite side to bring the hot end back. The same happens with the Y-axis in the opposite direction. About the complication of a simple need. The Y axis could use a single stepper motor with an axis on either side to drive the belt and pulley system for the X axis. This is how Creality made the Y axis for their 5+ machine. I love that Tronxy switched to a track system for the Y axis instead of just centering the rollers on the frame beam. To me, this is way nicer than the standard videos used for 5+. I love the fact that they used a glass bed for this. Ever since I upgraded my XY-3 to a glass platform (I just got the glass one from Home Depot) it prints fantastic and I'm not worried about it getting stuck on the build plate. I'm 100% for it. They also upgraded the sensor unit to detect the glass surface. This allows it to have automatic leveling software, which my XY-3 doesn't have. Tronxy touch screen interface. That hasn't changed since I bought my first XY-2 Pro. I guess if it ain't broke it can't be fixed? Even though you have enough ribbon cable to reach the front, there is still a chance it could get caught on something while cleaning the area where the printer is located. I think it would be better to add this to a sealed case connected to the power supply and motherboard. Speaking of the motherboard, I suggested this to Tronxy a long time ago and they still haven't fixed this issue. Having a micro SD card connector in the worst places. They could easily have placed an SD reader along with the touchscreen, but so far they haven't. The only solution I've found is a micro SD to SD card adapter. They can be purchased from Revain for around $8. Unfortunately, on the X5SA 400 Pro, this connector is right next to the Z-axis guide, so I couldn't really recommend that solution. While it can be driven, I personally don't like how close it is to the rail. The thermistor wires are also fragile. Mine broke on arrival and I had to put it together. Well, to give a proper overview, I made a test print. I decided to make something simple like a stand. I uploaded my Marine Coaster file for printing. After all the bed adjustments, hotend lowering and sensor reconfiguration, the print started normally. He's also very quiet. I only heard the PSU fan, but it wasn't that loud. Finally, let's talk about the price. I will compare it from Tronxy website to Creality Ender 5+ website. Tronxy: 513.00 before tax. Reality: 579.00. They are currently running a 10-20% discount promotion, but it is unknown how long it will last. ideal for large projects. And since most people order from Revain, you get the best price too. I still think they could improve the price on this by bringing it closer to the 550-600 pre-coupon range. So now it's time to rate this device Processing range: 5 stars Processing: 2 stars Print quality: 4 stars Ease of use: 3 stars Quiet: 4 stars Value: 3 stars The average rating is 3.5 stars. From the Tronxy range I would recommend buying the XY-2 PRO or even the XY-3 series instead of this machine. They are easier to assemble. Don't worry about corner alignment or long build times. They are real workhorses. While it has a huge build plate, it's not enough to justify the extra cost due to the issues I've encountered. It's a lot quieter than I expected. It's great if you have to type all night and don't want to hear this machine. But those are the other units I mentioned.
