Pros & Cons
Pros
The main controller board is 32-bit and seems fast and stable. The hot end is super cheap, i suspect this is where the main savings are. The improvements over the x5s-2e which i also own are awesome. Also it is worth mentioning how quiet the printer i... Read More
The bed leveling feature is very easy to use. Once the bed is leveled, it is time to print. Prints definitely stick to this grip tape well though during printing but a little glue makes it even better.
Instructions could be a little clearer, especially regarding orientation of the 2040 rails and leveling. Plenty of great videos on youtube to help clarify any setup issues.
Belt tensioning is hard to do without some kind of tensioner. The x & y pulley mounts looks to have been updated to a thicker acrylic which feels a bit more solid.
In a pinch, can google the 3-4-5 method (thanks pythagoras) and make one out of cardboard. Now it prints flawlessly.
Cons
The print quality using any other slicer that is not the tronxy one is terrible. It is very prone to drips, ozing and stringiness even with retraction. The auto leveling feature is not helpful or very instructive. The large print area means you can pr... Read More

I love the size of this printer and assembling it was fun the touch screen responds great and print quality is also great
Price
I really cant say enough good for this price
Shipping
I was worried that it did it so fast so i ran it a second time and compared the numbers
Packaging/appearance
First thing off the tronxy slicer software is complete trash
Things to note the bowden coupler on the extruder was broken out of the box
The tronxy original packaging and organization is great
The calibration was very close on my printer out of the box
Competitiveness
I am also pleased to see that it uses a 32bit controller with firmware that tronxy obviously spent time in preparing
Even better than the 3000 ultimaker i have
0 can be add by sd card updatethe bed is warped and and could have better desing overall
1st at home also a tronxy i3acrylic model

The software it comes preinstalled with isn’t the best but it’ll do for most prints

Hot end is okay but the fan does blow more on the hotend than i would like and it has short blades causing the airflow to bypass much of the heatsink

The manual and build video on youtube x5sa 2019 may upgraded version installation video were easy enough to follow
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
All parts were present except for a right angle bracket used to hold the power supply to the bottom rail not sure if this was removed from the printer as it does not seem necessary to support the power supply

The only design issue that i had was the zaxis linear rods they are secured with machine screws through the top and bottom extrusions but there is no pocket that will secure them in place
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Without a positive alignment they can move due to the clearance of the screw holes this can cause zbanding on the prints
