The Tronxy X3S is a personal FDM 3D printer kit, which comes mostly assembled. This open-frame printer is quite simple to assemble and to operate. You might start print within 1 hour. The aluminum structure makes the X3S a solid build. It is a valid upgrade of the smaller X3 printer solving the critical issue related to the design of its print bed carriage. The X3S is faster and more accurate and boasts a large volume capacity. It delivers reasonably good prints at a cheap price point being the most affordable, large scale printer of the Tronxy family. With some upgrades and mods, it is capable of producing high-quality results making it ideal for those who are looking for a low-cost, large-format printer. It is commonly used by hobbyists and students in a wide range of fields to print a variety of 3D models. Keep on reading for a full review.
One user printed a nice lamp made of PLA and PET-G at 0.2 layer height with 20% infill and no support. Look how nice it is.

As part of a first print test, this vase shines. It has a decent print quality and smooth surfaces.
This way you can produce parts with smooth exterior surfaces. The v-slot aluminum extrusions and all-metal frame grants high stability and precision. Still, the two extrusions supporting the hotbed solved the wobbling issue of the X3 providing better print quality.

Tronxy X3S prints with PLA, ABS, HIPS, WOOD, PC, PVC and other materials.
The Bowden extruder comes with a fan for printing with PLA-type materials. By cooling the model down, it reduces warping, stringing and, generally, makes for higher quality prints.

The Tronxy X3S comes with an aluminum heated print bed, which makes the machine suitable for printing with ABS-type materials.
This ABS-made screw has been printed at a 200-micron layer resolution.
To ensure high reproducibility, we recommend installing an enclosed print chamber. This way the print quality would not be affected by temperature fluctuations as a result of drafts and other factors.
The Tronxy X3S features an open material system making it compatible with 3rd party consumables. It prints with 1.75 mm filament, providing you with a wide choice of materials.
The build area of 11.8 x 11.8 x 15.7 inches (300 x 300 x 400 mm) lets you print just about anything.
For example, one user 3D printed this massive bluetooth speaker.

The printer is controlled via a standalone console box with built-in LCD interface and a control knob. Everything on the control board comes pre-wired.
3D models can be printed from computer via USB cable and SD card.
It works with all the open-source slicing software (Cura, Slic3r, Repetier, etc.). Tronxy recommends using Repetier-Host which is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac. 3D models can be printed in STL and G-Code formats.
For some items, package content may change. In case of any questions, please get in touch.
Tronxy X3S is available in three different colors: total black, black and red, or black and blue. Its stylish look makes it ideal for home, hobby and professional use.
The printer dimensions are 20.5 x 19.3 x 19.6 inches (520 x 490 x 498 mm). It weighs 22 lb (10 kg). The spool holder is mounted atop the control box.
The price of the Tronxy X3S is $349.96, which is reasonable considering its building capacity and good functionality.
