Having built many printers before from different brands as well as helping others repair and build them this was my first look at this model of Tronxy's I3 style kit. And it does tick of many of the boxes of the sort of printer build quality i do like, but the design and especially tolerances on holes for guide wheel locations needs to be revisited by the design team.. the area of lacklustre performance as a result and poor print quality becomes very evident when movement is induced by carriage movements. A photo of elongated nuts to solve this easily are included. I also issues with some wiring sizes and unsupported boards as this printer was for a customer who had stated to do the build with his son before realising it was to hard for them (the instructions etc are very good but the people doing the build had low mechanical or spacial skills). The customer had wired the power suply wrong despite following the plans and stopped the build when they turned the power supply on and their house safety switch tripped. I believe all printer/power supply manufacturers should be required to do any wiring to the supply and hace a cover to isolate those connections but sadly this will not happen π€. All in all i would give this printer a 4 out of 5 and believe at this price point their are better options. Having said that issues this printers have can be fixed by the end user/customer. I have had a lot of praise for other tronxy printers but think this one needs to go back to the design faze to correct some issues at this price point. Issues can be addressed after purchase but given tronxys other success in printer designs this one lets down their standards. As stated if people have purchased this printer issues can be fixed but at this price point these issues should have been addressed before the product went to market. And especially given the numbers of this printer now sold.. hope my shortish explanation is clear... "Chris"Read full review
