([Source](https://github.com/tronxy3d/F4xx-SIM480x320)); Doesn't ship with Klipper: it runs Klipper after you install it in place of its own firmware, a modification | - [How to set up SimplyPrint on Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E](https://simplyprint.io/setup-guide/tronxy/xy-2-pro-2e.md) - [How to set up OctoPrint on Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/tronxy-xy-2-pro-2e/octoprint-setup) - [Help us confirm](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/tronxy-xy-2-pro-2e/confirm) ### What works with SimplyPrint Connected through OctoPrint, SimplyPrint is expected to support everything the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E lets other software do: the camera and AI failure detection, remote printing, temperature and movement control and AutoPrint. 3 features depend on how it's set up: the table says what each needs. ## What slicer to use for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E, 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 XY-2 Pro 2E · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [OrcaSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/orcaslicer): No profile for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [BambuStudio](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/bambustudio): No profile for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [ElegooSlicer](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/elegooslicer): No profile for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [CrealityPrint](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/crealityprint): No profile for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [Cura](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/cura): No profile for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud - [Kiri:Moto](https://simplyprint.io/features/slicer/kirimoto): No profile for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E · Runs in the SimplyPrint cloud We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E. ## The app for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E Tronxy doesn't make an app for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E. 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.

That's what plate swappers like these use: they take the finished plate off and slide a fresh one on. Without a kit, a G-code routine can push cooled prints off with the toolhead. For example: [JobOx](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/jobox), [swapmod](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/swapmod). ### Ways to automate it - [Push prints off with the toolhead](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/push-off): On a bed slinger, a G-code routine can sweep the cooled print off the bed before the next job starts. - [Your own ejection G-code](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/custom): Write the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print. - [A robot arm, or anything with an API](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/api): Tell SimplyPrint the plate is clear through the API or a webhook, from a robot arm or your own system. - [Clear it by hand, keep the queue](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint/manual-mode): AutoPrint waits for you to mark the plate clear, then starts the next job. [How AutoPrint works](https://simplyprint.io/features/autoprint). AutoPrint comes with the Pro plan and up. ## Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E specifications: bed size, print height and more ### Size - Build volume: 255 x 255 x 260 mm - Bed type: Square - Bed size: 255 x 255 mm - Max print height: 260 mm ### Printing - Motion system: Bed slinger - Max print speed: 100 mm/s - Max extruder temperature: 275 °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, USB stick - USB socket for printing over USB: USB-B - 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: XY-2 Pro 2E - Made by a company from: China - Launched: April 2021 - Still made: Yes [Read more by the manufacturer](https://www.tronxy3d.com/products/tronxy-xy-2-pro-2e-titan-2-in-1-out-3d-printer-255-255-245mm) ## What filament can the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E print? Filament compatibility for the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E: 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 | 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) | With care | On the edge - PC really wants an enclosed, hot chamber to avoid warping. | | 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 XY-2 Pro 2E Filaments the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E 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 XY-2 Pro 2E with similar printers - [Tronxy XY-2 Pro](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/tronxy-xy-2-pro): Compatible, 255 x 255 x 260 mm, Also by Tronxy · Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA - [Bambu Lab P1S](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/bambu-lab-p1s): Verified by SimplyPrint, 256 x 256 x 256 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA - [Creality Ender-3 V3 KE](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/creality-ender-3-v3-ke): Compatible, 220 x 220 x 240 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA - [Creality K1](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/creality-k1): Compatible, 220 x 220 x 250 mm, Similar build volume · Also prints ABS & ASA - [Compare the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E with other printers](https://simplyprint.io/compatibility/compare?compare=tronxy-xy-2-pro-2e#choose) ## Where to buy the Tronxy XY-2 Pro 2E - [Tronxy's global store](https://simplyprint.io/buy/8385) (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.
