The VEHO 500A is Tronxy's fully enclosed 500 x 500 x 500 mm CoreXY printer running Klipper at up to 600 mm/s. It is for workshops and serious hobbyists who want large, enclosed prints in engineering materials.
Choose the 500A when you want 500 mm of space and a closed chamber, so ABS, ASA, nylon and PC are realistic, and you are comfortable with Klipper. If you do not need the enclosure the open VEHO 500 Pro costs less; if you need more volume, step up to the VEHO 600A or 800A. Tronxy also lists a dual-extruder 2E version of the 500A.
メリット
Fully enclosed CoreXY with a door and a 500 x 500 x 500 mm build volume, which suits ABS and ASA (Tronxy and our facts).
Klipper at up to 600 mm/s with a 7-inch touchscreen and seven linear guides (Tronxy).
Nozzle-as-sensor auto-leveling, four independent Z motors and filament runout detection (Tronxy).
Works with SimplyPrint through Klipper.
AC-heated bed, built-in LED lighting and a ceramic-heated extruder head (Tronxy).
デメリット
Network connection is by Ethernet, USB or SD card only; the maker's page does not list Wi-Fi.
The maker's page lists no built-in camera. Add a camera for remote watching.
The 300 °C hotend is lower than the 320 °C of the open VEHO 500 Pro.
No independent hands-on review found, so the claims here are Tronxy's own.
おすすめの対象
学校動作する場合あり
Enclosed with a door and easy to queue through SimplyPrint, but it is large, fast and Klipper-based, so it needs a confident teacher.
ホビーユーザー適しています
Big enclosed Klipper machine at a hobby-friendly size, with room to tinker.
企業適しています
Large enclosed prints in engineering materials; support and service depend on Tronxy, and no independent reliability data exists.
プリントファーム動作する場合あり
Klipper control and remote monitoring help, but there is no built-in camera, no Wi-Fi and no plate-swapping option we know of.
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.
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.
ファームウェアとカスタムファームウェア ●●●●●
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.
[8][9][6][7]
ローカル制御と連携 ●●●●●
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.
[7][9][11]
サードパーティー製フィラメント、スライサー、部品 ●●●●●
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.
[6][7]
修理と交換部品 ●●●●●
Tronxy's store sells model-specific mainboards, hotends, nozzles and extruder kits for current and older lines (X5SA, XY, VEHO), including Klipper-version parts.
[6]
コミュニティとドキュメント ●●●●●
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.
[4][8][10]
メリット
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.
デメリット
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.
実績
