Review on πŸ–¨οΈ TRONXY Enhanced 3D Printer Motherboard Extruder Installation by Ben Barrington

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Six months of rubbish.

Okay first of all I still haven't received the free filament and the client server is after me. Second, I have 6 printers in use for less than 4 months. 3 are currently not working. 1 does not work, 2 gives an error "sensor error or insufficient performance". Tronxy has not helped so far. Avoid. The bed isn't that great either. Even with multiple coats of hairspray, PETG prints damaged it. ---Original Review Below---Okay firstly I have 5 Tronxy printers, I took 4 of them TRONXY XY-2 PRO with Titan Extruder in December 2020 with their Christmas Sale for $169. I have to say I'm very impressed at this price point. It was easy to set up and within 15 minutes I had the printer up and running. After manual alignment, auto-alignment worked quite well. But I had some problems. Pros: great price, quick assembly, great auto bed leveling, filament low sensor, and all-metal hot end. The Power Loss feature really works! Automatic alignment. Once you get good manual leveling, auto leveling works great. Despite the bed issues, I managed to get some great prints on it. Pretty good. I have multiple printers and multiple models, this is the quietest printer I have in factory condition. Cons: SD card on the back. Why? I have no idea, there's also a power button, but that's not a big issue. I ended up printing an SD card bracket and used an SD card extension. The printing platform is fine, it comes with two parts that you need to assemble by yourself. I get some pretty decent PLA prints on it, but PETG managed to damage the first one quite badly. I then applied several coats of hairspray to prevent this on other printers. It worked most of the time, but Printer 2's bed got a little damaged. The bed is rigid but flexible to take prints but sometimes struggles to return to a fully flat state. Even with mismatched clips (3 pink and 1 yellow on one printer, 3 yellow and 1 pink on another? At least I had a complete set). I am deducting 1 star for the printing platform as I had issues with 3 out of 4 of them. - One of my touchscreens was very badly calibrated, it took a while but I was able to calibrate it.

Pros
