I'm a bit confused about the hotend. It claims to be able to print at 275, but near the end of the video you say it's a PTFE lined heatbreak. If it is lined, it is incredibly dangerous to print above 240C, as the PTFE will burn and produce very toxic gasses. Does the PTFE liner really go all the way to the heater block or no?

Good video, as always. PTFE-Tube is not pure PTFE. The normal "limit" temperature is due to the tube deforming; about 278°C is the temperature PTFE decompose to toxic fumes. While you can increase deforming temperature by optimicing the aditives used to make the tube, you can not increase the temperature PTFE decompose. So definitly I would not use 275°C, as is critical near to decomposing temperature. Changing heatbreak as you recommend definitly is the best way. While the Tronxy seem to be a nice entry-level printer, I prefer the Prusas for the open hardware concept for advanced users. Upgrades like LGX and Revo cost more than the basic printer. While I have a lot of different printers at the moment I use mk3s+ most - original and clones. But also the Mini - the best advantage is the number of upgrades you find for Prusa printers. The biggest con for the tronxy is you have to be very advanced to do any upgrades; the biggest pro for the prusas is the very large comunity.

Obviously I don't know how to use the comment mechanism (my first time commenting) 1. I ordered this printer after viewing your review. You recommended the PEI bed option for $10, which I ordered, and got an order acknowledgement. But then a few hours later, I got a message from Tronxy saying that this was a mistake on their web page, and the PEI bed wouldn't be available in the US for a couple of months (more or less). They gave me some reasonable options, none of which I really wanted, though. So ... not a complaint, but an alert about that if someone is ordering for US delivery in the next month or so. 2. You suggested that a bi-metal heatbreak would have been nice, and you flashed one ... I think an Amazon page for the BIQU E3D V6 Hoten for E3D V6 Volcano Hoten Prusa I3 MK3/MK3S Heat Break 1.75mm Filament (2pcs a Pack). Is that just a "like this one" example, or is this one you think will actually fit and work with the Crux? Again, thanks for your great reviews.

As someone who has owned more than one Tronxy printer I can tell you that parts will start to go bad on this machine much quicker than they should. Tronxy is the worst 3d printer manufacturer of all the printers I have used. To be fair, it has been a while since I have bought a Tronxy, because I really hate Tronxy, so maybe they have improved some, but I highly suggest people avoid this company unless they are very comfortable doing things like replacing power supplies and motherboards.

It was a mostly solid review, simply pointing out that this video wasnt a long term review, just a first look. I also know that there are the rare Tronxy printers out in the wild that live up to the promises made by the company, but your printer and the rest of the good ones are not the majority, they are the exception.

It only costs a 3d printer manufacturer a small amount of time and effort to create a proper Cura (and other slicers) printer profile: to not do it is very cheap. I bought a couple of cheap LotMaxx printers last year, their cheapest model with no automatic bed leveling, and their dual extruder/single hotend one: they both had Cura profiles from the start. I was amused to observe that this 3D printer had a notably easier final assembly process than my LotMaxx printers has, more easily done without the odd contortions I had to do because of the design.

I bought a Prusa Mini+ in early 2021 and honestly, it's a bad printer, especially at the new, higher price. Prusa's in-house extruder design is weak and prone to jamming--clearing those jams requires an aggravating amount of disassembly. The hotend is also Prusa's own design and is prone to clogging. Worse yet is the Mini's firmware allowing hotend temps up to 300C, which is insane for a PTFE-lined hotend. I upgraded mine to a Bondtech extruder and V6 hotend and it improved it quite a bit, but is that really something that someone should have to do on a PRUSA branded product? Absurd.

@@AuroraTech I am a noob but can read gcodes. This is the endcode : "G91; relative positioning G1 Z1.0 F3000 ; move z up little to prevent scratching of print G90; absolute positioning G1 X0 Y200 F1000 ; prepare for part removal M104 S0; turn off extruder M140 S0 ; turn off bed G1 X0 Y300 F1000 ; prepare for part removal M84 ; disable motors M106 S0 ; turn off fan" 2 times he bangs into hardware Y200 and Y300 but the bed is only 180. So there is a problem ! This is the original 5.0 Cura Gcode... it is only changed if it was changed in another version. Mine was also correct. I first had to delete the profile and set it again, because it had already taken over my correct changes from 4.13. even if crux overwrites the endcode (which i don't think it will), people should be made aware of the error. Who knows what a firmware update will change.

The Crux1 has soft limit enabled, so it won't be an issue. If your printer has not enabled that, you can send gcode M211 S1. After that, even if you manually send gcode and try to move to Y200 or Y2000, the printer won't move more than Y180 (or the bed size limit).

@@AuroraTech the only issue I had with cura 5.0 is the pre extrusion line crashes into the glass bed clips , I caught this early and moved the left clips to the front and rear . Thanks for a great review as always

@@AuroraTech Given that the KPS Pro bed only heats to 85C and other issues in your video, I don't see why you would recommend it over the Crux.
