GearBest has kindly send me a 3D printer for review, it is the TRONXY X5S which has a build volume of 330 x 330 x 400 and features core XY kinematics
This is a full KIT, unlike printers like the CR10 that require about 6 screws and your done, this one has a few sub parts assembled but you will need a day to build it up, and if your not mechanically minded, help may be a good idea.
Although the printer was sent to me FOC, Customs and Couriers made sure it was not totally free. This review will still remain unbiased and honest so dont think I will hide things from you if I find any issues, you will know about it.
In this video we will assemble / install the electronics including the Controller, LCD Display, Power Supply and wiring
Here are links to all parts of the series on the build and review
PT1, Whats in the BOX youtu.be/oejAqVILVdA
PT2, Frame Build youtu.be/r5b-zGTiacM
PT3, Gantry Build youtu.be/Uzl6g8lk9ak
PT4, Motors, Pullies and Belts youtu.be/bTPDmBeliYI
PT5, Build plate and Z axis youtu.be/2A9H94_Ru-4
PT6, Electronics and wiring youtu.be/t8aYMaltFs8
PT7, Review summary youtu.be/MLYhFwXsm9E
You can get this printer for yourself from GearBest at the following link gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp_701647.html?lkid=12706085
The Noctua Fan I replace the Controller cooling fan with can be found here, I also replace the one cooling the hot end heat break ans it was really noise and whining. :- http://noctua.at/en/nf-a4x10-flx
This printer is turning out to be quite impressive, packaging was good and materials quality is excelent, more to follow as we build this printer. I anticipate it taking about 4 hours (If your not trying to video at the same time )
There will be many more videos as I build this printer and run it through a few tests.
