[How AutoPrint works](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint). AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up. ## Tronxy X5SA-400 specifications: bed size, print height and more ### Size - Build volume: 400 x 400 x 400 mm - Bed type: Square - Bed size: 400 x 400 mm - Max print height: 400 mm ### Printing - Motion system: CoreXY - Max print speed: 100 mm/s - Max extruder temperature: 260 °C - Has heated bed: Yes - Max bed temperature: 100 °C - Number of nozzles: 1 - Toolheads: 1 - Direct drive: No - 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: SD card, USB - Prints from: microSD card - Supports serial printing: Yes - Shipped firmware: Marlin ### Files and slicing - Supported file formats: G-code (.gcode, .gco, .g) ### The printer - Printer manufacturer / brand: Tronxy - Printer model name: X5SA-400 - Made by a company from: China - Launched: September 2021 [Read more by the manufacturer](https://www.tronxy3d.com/products/tronxy-diy-3d-printer-x5sa-400) ## What filament can the Tronxy X5SA-400 print? Filament compatibility for the Tronxy X5SA-400: the materials Tronxy lists for it. | Filament | Suitability | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | PLA | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | PETG | Great | Comfortably in range (PETG likes a ~230-250C hotend and a ~70-85C bed). | | TPU & flexibles | With care | Possible, but a Bowden extruder makes flexibles harder - print slowly and prefer firmer (higher-shore) TPU. | | ABS & ASA | Great | On the maker's list of materials for this printer. | | Nylon (PA) | With care | Possible with care - an enclosure and very dry filament are essential. | | Polycarbonate (PC) | Not ideal | Not recommended - PC needs very high hotend temps and an enclosed chamber. | | Carbon-fiber & glass-filled | With care | Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle. | ### Best filament for the Tronxy X5SA-400 Filaments the Tronxy X5SA-400 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 - [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 - [Bambu Lab ASA](https://simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/asa): ASA, 240-270 °C ## Compare the Tronxy X5SA-400 with similar printers - [Tronxy D01 Plus](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/tronxy-d01-plus): Expected to work, 330 x 330 x 400 mm, Also by Tronxy · Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA - [Tronxy VEHO 3](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/tronxy-veho-3): Compatible, 330 x 330 x 400 mm, Also by Tronxy · Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA - [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 - [WASP 4070 HDP](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/wasp-4070-hdp): Compatible, 400 x 400 x 600 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA - [Compare the Tronxy X5SA-400 with other printers](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/compare?compare=tronxy-x5sa-400#choose) ## Where to buy the Tronxy X5SA-400 - [Tronxy's global store](https://simplyprint.io/buy/8384) (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.
