Not yet in SimplyPrint through Klipper (Moonraker): download the file before the print starts. ## What slicer to use for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro, but it takes standard G-code: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match. - [PrusaSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/prusaslicer): No profile for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [OrcaSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/orcaslicer): No profile for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [BambuStudio](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/bambustudio): No profile for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [ElegooSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/elegooslicer): No profile for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [CrealityPrint](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/crealityprint): No profile for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [Cura](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/cura): No profile for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [Kiri:Moto](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/kirimoto): No profile for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro. ## The app for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro Tronxy doesn't make an app for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro. SimplyPrint works as its app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud. - An app for iPhone and Android, the same in any browser, and a slicer in the cloud. - More than monitoring: a print queue, AI failure detection, AutoPrint and accounts for a team. - Printers from many brands in one place, side by side. - Hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, under the GDPR.

[How AutoPrint works](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint). AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up. ## Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro specifications: bed size, print height and more ### Size - Build volume: 500 x 500 x 500 mm - Bed type: Square - Bed size: 500 x 500 mm - Max print height: 500 mm ### Printing - Enclosure: Open frame - Motion system: CoreXY - Max print speed: 300 mm/s - Max extruder temperature: 320 °C - Has heated bed: Yes - Max bed temperature: 100 °C - Number of nozzles: 1 - Toolheads: 1 - Direct drive: Yes - Probing tool / Auto Bed Leveling: Yes - Filament width: 1.75 mm ### Multi-material - Toolchanger or hotend changer: No - IDEX (independent dual extruders): No ### Connecting - Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB - Prints from: USB stick - Supports serial printing: No - Shipped firmware: Klipper ### Files and slicing - Supported file formats: G-code (.gcode, .gco, .g) ### The printer - Printer manufacturer / brand: Tronxy - Printer model name: VEHO 500 Pro - Made by a company from: China - Launched: October 2024 - Still made: Yes [Read more by the manufacturer](https://www.tronxy3d.com/products/tronxy-veho-500-pro-large-format-3d-printer-with-high-speed-klipper-320-high-temp-direct-drive-build-volume-500-500-500mm) ## What filament can the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro print? Filament compatibility for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro: the materials Tronxy lists for it. | Filament | Suitability | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | PLA | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | PETG | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | TPU & flexibles | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | ABS & ASA | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | Nylon (PA) | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | Polycarbonate (PC) | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | Carbon-fiber & glass-filled | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | ### Best filament for the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro Filaments the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro prints well, Tronxy's own first, then the best known. - [Bambu Lab PLA Basic](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-basic): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Matte](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-matte): PLA, 190-230 °C - [ELEGOO PLA](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/elegoo/pla): PLA, 190-220 °C - [SUNLU PLA](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/sunlu/pla): PLA, 200-240 °C - [Anycubic PETG](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/anycubic/petg): PETG, 230-250 °C - [Anycubic PLA Basic](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/anycubic/pla-basic): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Anycubic PLA Plus](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/anycubic/pla-plus): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Bambu Lab ABS](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/abs): ABS, 240-270 °C ## When to choose the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro Choose the 500 Pro when you need a 500 mm build volume and high-temperature capability at the lowest price in Tronxy's 500 mm range, and you are happy to run it open or add the optional enclosure. If you want ABS or ASA printed in a closed chamber out of the box, or a classroom-safe machine, the enclosed VEHO 500A is the better pick; if you need more room, the VEHO 600 Pro V3 is the next size up. ### Pros - 500 x 500 x 500 mm build volume with a 320 °C ceramic-heated direct-drive extruder (Tronxy). - Runs Klipper with a 7-inch touchscreen and prints up to 300 mm/s, with an AC-heated bed and four independent Z motors (Tronxy). - Works with SimplyPrint through Klipper, so you get remote monitoring and queueing. - Seven linear guides and built-in lighting; an enclosure is offered as an option (Tronxy). - Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB are all listed for connecting it. ### Cons - Open frame as sold, with the enclosure optional, so ABS, ASA and nylon are harder to print well. - The maker's page lists no built-in camera. Add a camera for unattended prints. - Slower than Tronxy's 600 mm/s enclosed models; the page quotes 300 mm/s. - No independent hands-on review found, so the claims here are Tronxy's own. ### Who it suits - Schools: Not a good fit. Open frame with a 320 °C hotend and moving parts in reach; students need an enclosed printer, and this one would need the optional enclosure. - Hobbyists: Good fit. A lot of build volume and Klipper tinkering room for the money, if you can live without a closed chamber. - Businesses: Can work. Fine for large PLA or PETG prototypes; the open frame and missing camera limit engineering materials and unattended use. - Print farms: Not a good fit. One large, open, camera-less machine is a poor building block for a farm of identical printers. ## Compare the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro with similar printers - [Tronxy VEHO 500A](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/tronxy-veho-500a): Compatible, 500 x 500 x 500 mm, Also by Tronxy · Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Carbon-fiber & glass-filled - [Tronxy VEHO 600 PRO V3](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/tronxy-veho-600-pro-v3): Compatible, 600 x 600 x 600 mm, Also by Tronxy · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Carbon-fiber & glass-filled - [ELEGOO Neptune 4 Max](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/elegoo-neptune-4-max): Compatible, 420 x 420 x 480 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA) - [Sovol SV08 Max (Heat Chamber)](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/sovol-sv08-max-heat-chamber): Compatible, 500 x 500 x 450 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA, Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC) - [Compare the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro with other printers](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/compare?compare=tronxy-veho-500-pro#choose) ## Where to buy the Tronxy VEHO 500 Pro - [Tronxy's global store](https://simplyprint.io/buy/8374) (Official store) ## About Tronxy Tronxy (Shenzhen Tronxy Technology Co., Ltd) is a Shenzhen 3D printer maker whose founder built the company's first printer in 2013. It sells low- and mid-priced FDM printers, from the X5SA and XY-3 series up to the very large VEHO line (1,000 mm and more), plus Moore clay printers, through its own store, Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Alibaba and dealers. Buyers are hobbyists, schools and small businesses that want a large build volume for little money. - Headquarters: Shenzhen, China - Website: https://www.tronxy.com Openness: Open (4.3 of 5) Mostly open: Marlin source on GitHub, Klipper on the newer large printers, open filament and no cloud. Documentation is thin, and firmware downloads go through an email request. - Firmware and custom firmware (4 of 5): Tronxy publishes Marlin source for its STM32/GD32 boards on GitHub (tronxy3d) under GPL-3.0, covering nearly 30 X5SA, XY, D01 and VEHO 500-800 variants, last updated February 2024. Its newer VEHO PRO and A series ship with Klipper, and it sells a Klipper upgrade kit for the X5SA. - Local control and integrations (5 of 5): We found no Tronxy cloud service or account. The Klipper VEHO PRO prints from a USB flash drive or over a USB data cable, Wi-Fi or Ethernet, all on your own premises, and Tronxy publishes the Marlin source for its X5SA and XY printers, which host software such as OctoPrint drives over USB. - Third-party filament, slicers and parts (4 of 5): Open filament (1.75 mm, with 2.85 mm print heads for the VEHO) and standard G-code, which any slicer produces. VEHO hotends and print heads such as the Ext06 are Tronxy's own parts. - Repairs and spare parts (4 of 5): Tronxy's store sells model-specific mainboards, hotends, nozzles and extruder kits for current and older lines (X5SA, XY, VEHO), including Klipper-version parts. - Community and documentation (3 of 5): Firmware source and build steps are on GitHub, and upstream Klipper ships configs for eight Tronxy models. Tronxy's own download page asks owners to email for the right firmware instead of offering it directly. ### Pros - Very large build volumes for the price, up to 1,000 mm and more in the VEHO line. - Marlin source is public on GitHub, and the newer VEHO models run open-source Klipper. - No cloud or account: print over USB, memory card, Wi-Fi or Ethernet. - Spare mainboards, hotends and nozzles sold for current and older models. ### Cons - Firmware on Tronxy's website is by email request rather than a direct download. - Dozens of models and variants with similar names (the published firmware alone covers nearly 30), so check carefully which firmware and parts fit. - VEHO hotends and print heads are Tronxy-specific parts. ### Track record - October 2022: Tronxy began publishing Marlin source for its STM32F446/GD32-based boards on GitHub (tronxy3d) under GPL-3.0; it updated it until February 2024. - December 2020: Tronxy launched the XY-3 SE on Kickstarter; the company says shipping finished in April 2021.
