90,000 The Unseen Cheapest 3D Printer! Applause? Tronxy X1#competitionCreality
The Tronxy X1 printer is the cheapest machine I could find on Ali (less than $100). This is my first and only printer (so to speak, a child of the crisis). I wanted a printer for a long time, but finances did not allow.
Initially presented as a training printer, ie. for kids. Is it worth buying for kids? Is it worth buying at all? Let's figure it out.
Briefly.
Tronxie is a plush-like open-table printer, or, as they say, a “jump table”. Print area 150x150x150 mm. The control unit of the printer is made in a separate housing, into which the wires are connected. Powers the printer from an external power supply connected to the connector of the control unit. There is no table heating, although Ali indicated otherwise.
This type of printer has a number of limitations in terms of printing speed and materials, but, theoretically, for informational purposes it should fit.
(photo in current condition)
Assembly.
The printer comes to the happy owner in a box in which the complete set is placed in two boxes made of polyethylene foam. The only pre-assembled part is the hot-end mounted on the bottom bracket.
The printer is assembled on a base made of black Plexiglas (or polycarbonate), on which frame elements made of aluminum profiles are screwed.
In general, this profile not only has the function of a power element, but also guides (plastic wheels roll along its grooves).
The assembly instructions are quite understandable, although they did not put them in paper form, only the electronic version is available on a flash drive from the printer kit. The whole spore took me about 4 hours. All tools for assembly are included except for wrenches, although the quality of this tool is poor (better to have your own).
Complete set for assembly was enough. Hardware was poured with a margin (although one screw was too long and had to be sawn).
The main difficulty during assembly was to find the right screw, because hardware of all types and sizes are covered in two bags.
A locksmith's square is needed to assemble the frame, otherwise everything will not come together very straight. The guide surfaces are too small to position the parts perpendicularly, and the fixing elements (metal angles and plexiglass brackets) are made with gaps.
The surfaces of the Plexiglas elements are protected with shipping paper.
The wires are not marked, so it is better to mark them to avoid confusion during the assembly process.
Z-axis screw and nut not lubricated and no lubricants included.
Particularly inconvenient is the assembly of the control box housing. Not only that, before assembling it, all the wires must already be connected, but it is also assembled on screws with nuts that are inserted into the grooves and strive to fall out of there. Assembled using a magnet to hold the nuts.
The wires are assembled into bundles with a braid (a tube cut in a spiral), but this solution seemed unsuccessful to me already at the first removal of the braid. The wiring will have to be disassembled during operation, so I put everything in a plastic corrugation (automobile) and fixed it with electrical tape.
The guide carriages do not have a clearance adjustment mechanism, so it was necessary to unscrew and tighten several times to get the minimum free play.
There is no mechanism for tensioning the belts either, and it is not possible to construct simple springs, so we pull with our hands.
Motors marked "Tronxy"
First run.
We connect the power supply to the freshly assembled printer, plug the power supply into the socket and ... Oh, miracle! He works! The name of the printer and firmware “Repetier v0.9” appears on the screen.one". And all because the control unit and the power supply do not have a toggle switch, i.e. to turn it off, you will have to pull the cord out of the socket or get a surge protector.
Next joy. A flash drive prepared in advance (micro-SD and card reader supplied with the printer) with g-codes must be inserted into the printer control unit from the rear wall. Not very comfortable.
And it is clear that it will not be possible to permanently place the control unit without modifications. It will have to be rotated with each print.
"Print over the wire!" - at first I thought, but immediately passed, because. a 1 m cable was included in the kit.
Further tedious navigation through the menu using the buttons on the front panel. Pleasure is doubtful, because. the button travel is very large, and they are quite rigid, as a result, they do not always work. In principle, the menu is understandable, but one thing still pisses me off! Why was it necessary to hide the print stop so far in the menu, because it is extremely needed on this printer in quick access.
The table is calibrated with 4 screws with wing nuts (it is better to change immediately), which is very inconvenient due to the small size of the printer.
The table itself is made of 4 mm thick plexiglass, on which 1 mm thick plexiglass is fastened with clamps. During the calibration process, this whole thing bends as it wants, and besides, the table carriage, standing on a 20 mm wide profile, allows the table to swing up to 1 mm in amplitude.
As I already said, there is nothing to tighten, and even 0.1 mm of clearance in the carriage will give 0.75 mm on such a shoulder at the edge of the table. So it is better to print always in the center.
Time to print! Plastic - PLA (and the other is not recommended by the printer manufacturer), parameters from online tutorials. Plastic is lying around, because there is no regular place for its placement. Go.
Without additional calibration, the printer prints in normal sizes in all axes. There are all sorts of defects on the surface caused by weak belt tension and insufficient experience in the slicer.
Of course, nothing stuck to the standard plate, but smearing it with a glue stick gave an excellent result. Due to the lack of heating of the table, the glue does not dry out, and the liquid plastic practically bakes into it and dries. The first times I smeared too thickly, so the details came off with great effort.
What can be summarized?.
.
The printer, after being assembled from the box, prints quite well for a user inexperienced with the quality of parts.
Tensioners were found and printed on the Internet to bring the belts back to normal. They significantly improved the surface quality and geometry.
The first printed samples were small and light, and when printed, it was impossible to detect problems in the mechanical part of the printer. Underextrusion was visible, but there could be many reasons, and I decided to eliminate them as they worsened.
On larger models, the extruder motor was clearly audible, so the conventional drive with gear wheel and pressure roller was replaced with a geared one. The number of steps changes in the control unit, there are no difficulties.
Nozzle blockage began to appear after long printing. At first I thought it was dust. I made a foam filter for the filament.
Did not help. The cleaning didn't help much either.
When the hot end was completely disassembled, it turned out that the plastic was melting far beyond the heating block, which clogs the exit. To begin with, I replaced the regular radiator airflow, which, it should be noted, is made of a cooler (40x40x10 mm) in a metal case.
I installed a computer heatsink (40x40x18 mm) that I had on a printed case. Didn't solve the problem completely.
I will not describe all kinds of replacement nozzles, installation of a sock, thermal paste, etc.
It should be noted that during the experiments, the fittings for fixing the Teflon tube collapsed and were replaced (the standard one was very dead).
The hot end has a throat that includes a Teflon tube. Considering that melting also occurred in the tube, after which it looked bad and deformed, I decided to change the throat. The new throat was steel with a 2mm hole, theoretically reducing the heat bridge between the heating block and the radiator.
Printing has become much more stable.
Blockage occurs on long seals with a large number of retracts, but as without retracts, because this is a bowden. I decided that the main reason was overheating of the throat due to inefficient heat removal through an unsuccessful radiator (its design is really not very good). I ordered a hot-end analogue of E3D V6, I'm waiting ...
Necessary improvements.
Of those already carried out - blowing the part. The thing is indispensable for bridges and overhangs. The model was downloaded from the Internet, there was already a cooler from a computer 40x40x18 mm (powered to blow the hot end).
When turned on, I encountered a power problem (the speed dropped when the heating was turned on). It seems that the standard power supply was chosen at the limit of its capabilities, so now everything is powered from the power supply from the computer (400 W), besides, it has a power switch.
The next important improvement was the replacement of the table cover.
Regular plastic threw out and put the usual glass 165x165 mm 5 mm thick. The plans are to make a mount on magnets, but for now it is installed on 3M adhesive tape. Details are separated with a clerical knife blade.
A necessary trifle was the stand (bracket) for the reel. I mounted it on top of the printer stand instead of a carrying handle (why was it invented at all).
Model from the Internet, but not very successful. You need to change it to your design model, but so far it's a pity for plastic.
Main features.
The reader will reasonably ask: “Why are the characteristics indicated at the end of the story?”. Everything is simple. These characteristics are achievable only after the ordeals described above.
Print area - 150x150x150 mm (if you really want, then 160x160x150 mm).
The temperature of the heating block is up to 240 degrees (it does not rise above, and if you press the plastic, then this will not happen either).
Used plastics – only PLA has been mastered so far.
Print speed - up to 40 mm / s (if you want quality, then 25).
Minimum layer height 0.1...0.3 mm.
Table heating - no!
Plans.
At first I wanted to replace the frame of this printer, build something rigid (like a cube) with a heated table and a larger printable area, but it turned out to be quite expensive. Therefore, at the current stage, I ordered one aluminum profile for the table rails in order to increase the width of the wheel support from 20 to 40 mm. Next, I want to put eccentrics to sample the gaps in the carriage assembly.
The printer is very noisy, and the motor drivers are soldered on the board, which does not allow you to get rid of the screech of a crazy cat. I decided to make a box for the printer, throw out the control unit case and mount everything in the box, incl. and power supply.
In addition, the mechanics of the printer has a number of disadvantages that need to be addressed:
- the attachment points of the belts on the carriages are made far from the profile groove, as a result of which the belts rub against the profile, they can even jam;
- the “sloths” of the belt are made of bearings of a larger diameter than necessary, as a result, the belt goes skewed, again, rubs against the profile.
New sloths have now been ordered. I'm still in the process of figuring out the belt mounts.
Printing examples.
Boat that blew everything
(transparent PLA, layer 0.2, tested at 220 degrees without blowing the model)
Test cube
(transparent PLA, layer 0.2, tested at 220 degrees without blowing the model)
Microphone holder (broke, and a new one costs 500 rubles)
(transparent PLA, layer 0.2, temperature 190 degrees without blowing the model, layers with gaps are visible)
Sleeve for headrest guides (slicer test)
(transparent PLA (2 coils), layer 0.2, temperature 190 degrees without blowing the model)
There are defects on the surface of the right part, more or less clean on the left. The main difference is that different slicers are used. For the left - Pryusha Slicer, for the right - Kura. In a detailed analysis of the trajectory in the slicer, it was found that Kura 4.5, when printing walls, presses the plastic in the same place 2 times, due to which defects appear on the surface of the part.
Mixer couplings
Printed 4 pcs. I checked one for strength, the second I installed in the mixer, and these remained spare.
(transparent PLA, 0.2 layer, temperature 190 degrees without blowing the model)
Screwdriver battery case.
When replacing the battery cells in the battery of the screwdriver, it was necessary to increase the housing. Drawn, printed. In the photo there is a print marriage. When reaching the layers with retracts, the nozzle was clogged.
(transparent PLA, layer 0.2, temperature 190 degrees without blowing the model)
Mini hood fan wheel.
This is a prototype. To save money, it was printed from leftover plastic. Here's a rainbow. The plastic was tucked in on the move, so retracts were not carried out.
(various PLA, 0.2 layer, 190°C without model airflow)
Car sun visor holder (prototype)
(Black PLA, 0.1 layer, 195°C with model airflow)
Logo Dodge (enamelled).
This is a marriage. During the printing process, blockages occurred, as a result, the part turned out to be fragile and there are visible defects. I decided to check how the enamel from a spray can lays down without a primer.
(black PLA, layer 0.2, temperature 195 gr. with model blower)
End cap for Bowens mount monobloc.
(black PLA, layer 0.2, temperature 195 degrees with model blowing)
Conclusions.
The printer is certainly suitable for training, but it will mostly consist of the basics of printer operation and troubleshooting, and not the basics of modeling, slicing and printing.
In principle, depending on the tasks, the printer may well come in handy. I printed on it the holders of sun visors in the car, which used cost 1.5 tr. per piece + shipping. For me, the printer has already worked out its money, but I can only say this at the current stage, when a lot has been fixed.
Still, there is a lack of a hot table, which limits the choice of material.
But one PLA will not be full!
In general, when you scatter the printer package by price, you understand that it will not be cheaper and better to assemble, but still the product must remain at the level of performance with the declared characteristics. What to add here? Thank God it's not a "delta" for $120.
It should be said that having rummaged through the Internet in search of information on the printer, I noticed that it comes to people in a slightly different configuration. Especially noticeable on hardware. Yes, the wires of the lucky ones are marked. Either there is no stability, or they are working on bugs. I am amazed by the positive feedback from bloggers who have been "sent" to this printer. I think they would treat it differently if it was a financially significant purchase for them.
