My first real drive with my Armortek Jagdtiger
My first real drive with my Armortek Jagdtiger. I was by myself, so the camera is moving alot as I had the camera in one hand and the transmitter in the other. This is an all metal tank kit that took a while to build. I need to adjust the power curve and expo. Also the tracks need to adjusted too.

I went out to test this Neptune. As I was testing it one handed I kept the speed slow as my other hand was holding my phone recording the sub. I need to re-trim as the tail was a little heavy. But I will do that at home in the test tank.

Adjusting rail wheels Sorry for all the motion. I was a little tired that nite.
That thing is a beast. Super cool model
Cutie patootie tonk :D
We had lots of snow everywhere in my country last week except where I live. Hope to get some soon and get my Tigers out.
Awesome. Now I want One...
Great job! My tronxy pro had same issue!
"Dive, Dive, Dive!" 👇
this is my fav uboat type with this conning tower design. make a FA 330 along this uboat! :)
I do have a Focke-Achgelis Fa 330 for this U-bost. I had it in the water that day, so I didnt have it on when I made the video. But when its being displayed the Focke-Achgelis Fa 330 is on it.
Is it possible to buy the IXD2 Model? It will be used as display regarding the U-864. Possible the U-864 will be raised.
My man, that's really good. And some really good advice. It's really crucial to get good precise parts to get all the frame squared, and the motion smooth; wheels must properly engage the track with even adequate pressure. Pulleys parallel to it's correspondent. Belts properly tensioned. I always think "center everything and square everything." -Billy Champy a.k.a Chosen One.
Do you have a video of the submarine finished? I wanna see?
That was the first version of the I400 that I printed. Well that version is good, someone on thingiverse posted it there. I decided to I designed my own version. What a huge learn curve CAD was. I design this new I400, what pain. I printed most of it, but that is all. I may make a video showing what I have printed so far.

Glad to see others are testing the waters
Im considering switching from my futaba 14mz that can do both 72 and 2.4 to a setup like you show here. Ed's recent video shows a fr sky x10s radio which he said goes to 1 watt but i looked at their specs on that r9m module he had, and it said the lbt (whatever that is) version had max 200mw and the non lbt version max was 100mw~1w (self adaptive). so im not sure hes getting a full 1w.. but if the system you show can do 2w, holy cow... I guess now it just comes down to which tx has the better features. My 14mz can do ALOT of things but it is getting outdated and the os is very slow when working in the menus.
Hi there, Yea I also own a radio like that, a Futaba 12FG. The reason I own that is for the 14 channel receiver. So if I ever need that many channels on my sub I got them. The transmitter doesn't really matter much when using the TBS crossfire, as it can work in many transmitters. The Radiomaster TX16s has many versions and the firmware is being updated all the time to add new stuff. Even has a touch screen that you just need to activate. I personal think the TX16s is over kill for sub use. Radiomaster came out with the Boxer transmitter at half the price of their TX16s. For now I am just testing to make sure it works under water. While the lake I test at is deeper then 4 feet, 4 feet is the deepest I can see even using a light in the sub. The module I use will work in most transmitters that have a Standard JR module compartment in the rear if it. Also in the video you see me holding up a single antenna receiver, that is a crossfire 915mhz receiver also but with 10 channels.
LBT (look before transmit) is the european standard. Frsky has LBT and FCC versions of their firmware, as well as "Flex" version that can do both. most r9 submariners have standardized on the Flex version, it seems to be the most stable firmware for r9.
@@timsenecal1727 On the Radiomaster TX16s, I have open tx on it, but could put Flex. The TBS crossfire module I use Is open, So i could do up to 2 watts, but it works fine at just 500mw. I tested the crossfire module and receiver in my neptune sub, 4 feet down 300 feet away. But I cant test it in the deeper part of the lake as the water is black as tar. One draw back with the TBS crossfire module and receiver I use is that its the best one they sell and cost more then Frsky stuff.
2:30 How to adjust. I also had rediculously tight rails and no instructions on adjustment
Correction... it does not tighten or loosen if you turn clockwise or anti-clockwise. You are just rotating a hole that is excentric in the piece that you are rotating. It is not a screw it is just a piece that rotates in place. It is looser / tighter depending on the orientation. One semicirle will be righer, the other will be looser. If you want to loosen it, try to turn it in ANY direction but with not much force. If you feel it is getting tighter, turn the other way and vice versa for tightening.
Thanks for that!
There's no doubt these vessels were the apex of technology of the day- being refined and size-increased from WWI era boats(which were smaller). Even their exterior proved to be intimidating, much like a shark in appearance. It's a wonder they were not referred to as "Sharkpacks" than Wolfpacks.
Exactly what I was looking to find, thank you. I don't get why this simple process wasn't included in the manual.
Dear 🎅 Santa, I've been a "Good Boi 👍." What I want for Christmas 🎄 is ....
Yea I had to have one, love the sub, but not the price it took to make it. over 4k
That was really Awesome
Thanks
Спасибо за прекрасную работу 👍🙂🇧🇾, приветствую вас из Белоруссии 🤝
Спасибо
You have done an excellent job with it David. Glad I could help during construction. Imagine yours and mine in the water together - a new wolf pack.
Your help was a god sent. Thank you!
Fab !!! Engel are so expensive thats what put me off buying them so got some stuff Nautilus dry docks when I got the sub units there was £175 import tax "ouch" but got the stuff for converting plastic model kit now .
Yea I had the Engel sub kit shipped from Germany to the US. Also this is not a standard Engel U177. Everything including the deck, from the deck up is not Engel. Yea I bought the Engel U177 kit, but I bought a ton of optional stuff to make it more scale and real. Also I designed and resin printed all hatches, storage contains, antennas, basic most of the stuff on the conning tower. Cost alot to build. I will added a video of it out side the water.
How us your submarine turning out.
thank you. I had to run my steppers at 1.4A to get rid of some defects caused by the tight wheels. Now I have them adjusted properly thanks to your video.
Thanks! Mine were really tight too so started googling how these should rotate. I feared ruining the threads so instead screwed two bolts in partly and used screwdriver between them to rotate the housing. This gave a better control for the adjustment too. Best way to check that it's not too loose is wiggle one end up and down to feel when there's some play and then tighten it back just a bit.
I did same way using two bolts - leaving one grub screw in as well. then use screw driver to lever adjust - tighten grub screw, remove bolts fit other grub screw
As an addendum to this, don't shove a pair of pliers in the holes use the spare bolts they give you to provide two pillars you can place a screw driver between and it turns way easier, far better leverage.
The video was made at like 3am in the morning and I was tired. As you can see by the date of the video, i was one first in the US to get this New printer and they didnt get any instructions the new rail system at all at the time. Even when I sent a email to customer support they said at the time sorry we have nothing. Lucky one of the customer support guys figured out that if the rail wheels are not perfect, problems can happen. He was the one that said to use a pair of needle nose pliers. I really do need to make a updated video of 16 months or is it 17 months of using the printer. As the Hotend is a E3D Hemera direct drive now, its in a temp controlled heated enclosure with electronics outside. I been moving more over to large resin printers, but this is still my favorite printer.
@@steamcastle2473 Well their manual still doesn't tell you how to adjust them and this is the only video I could find that said "just do this". My comment was on how to improve the adjusting experience, so thanks for the knowledge it was helpful.
@@TheShorterboy I still remember that night I was so mad at the printer. I thought I had defective belt motors as they were running so hot you couldn't touch them. I was told a few times by Tronxy support that the rail wheels do not need to be touched as they were set at the factory. But once one guy over there figure out what was happening and sent me a video on how to set the rail wheels. After setting the wheels correctly my printer was golden. It was like night and day.
Hi i have a question when i print the block of go really good but when i print a burger object my sensor scrub it of the building plate because the sensor is not high inough from the build plate how can i fix that
in your slicer use Z hop setting. it will raise the extruder when it moves. Also make sure the Blue sensor is level with the bed. With the printer off. put hotend at center of bed and manual raise bed till Blue sensor touches bed. It should be flat on bed, not with front edge or back edge touching first
@@steamcastle2473 i think the probl is the z settings because i have set de sensor on different hights or the print is not good or the nozzle scrub the bed every print again the sensor touch the bed when i auto level all value are less than 0.8 so i think i need to set my z axes
@@davyneven4295 Ok from the sound of it, you must have a X5SA and not a X5SA Pro. However setting it up is basically the same On my pro i auto level a few time till its down to between .1 and .3. However with you X5SA you should be able to get it down to .4 after a few tries. Then after the last Auto leveling, set your z offset by putting a piece of paper on the bed and hit the z offset control. then slide the paper back and forth and move nozzle down or up till you feel friction on the paper and hit the set button. The I use the control and set the printer to home. Then try to print something
@@steamcastle2473 is was the z to zero that was the problem i have set the sensor and the nozzel to the same high than autobed level en than with a paper the z and save to zero and it Works Thanks men
hi, is the bed heated? if so all of it is heated? thanks buddy!
Yes the bed is heated, has a 24v heated bed. The hottest I have used the bed is at 110C.
@@steamcastle2473 is the whole bed heated or just the middle part?
@@kimballwiggins3976 I would say the heat pad under the bed covers the bottom of the bed about 70 to 80%
@@steamcastle2473 thanks so much buddy!
You do not need to disassembly the whole hotend - some hub wrenches (? in Germany ist's called "Nabenschlüssel" and ist used for bicycles) do have this pins for two hole drive ("Zwielochantrieb") and the space with already mounted hot end is enough to use ist and adjust the screws.
I had almost worked this out myself, you confirmed which way to turn the wheel, many thanks. No way would my rail go on as supplied......unless you used a hammer !!!! Then I had to disassemble the whole hot end assembly (like you stated) to do the same with that carriage & wheels to get it on the rail, major PITA!! Anyone doing this, after taking the fan housing off, DO NOT try to force the base off the carriage once you have taken out the 2 small screws that hold the base and bracket system on. You have to then loosen off the 2 small screws in the stop end sensor to get the base to come off as these 2 screws also are threaded into the carriage/hot end base plate. The thread for these 2 screws is slightly oversize so the base moves slightly like it wants to come off. It's not immediately obvious they are threaded in as those screws are very small.
Thanks a lot for the video. I got the same issue. All three rails were pretty tight. Hotend one was a bit pain. I was almost going to return the item. Looks like Tronxy got a great quality team.
I have one, was excited for it, and I'm tired of screwing with it. It is a good design overall, but falls short when it comes to actual printing. I got one good print, then that was it. It is unreliable, barely any documentation, and you have to figure it out for yourself basically. I've now lost a month of my life on it. Over time the wire carriage on top will drop and catch on the side then ruin a print, stepper motor will shift mid-print ruining hours of work, plastic belts loosen so you have to buy new ones and/or add tensioners. I'd rather spend money on something that works rather than taking up my life screwing with this one over and over again...mine is going in the garbage
SELL IT
@@ianyancey2919 Believe it or not, I finally got it working right. And my main problem was interfacing via OctoPrint. My Prusa prints a thousand times better, but it is working and printing ok
@@ldboehm How did you got it working? All my Tronxy except for one have massive layer shifts.
@@elmexicanoforlive I finally figured out that the main issue was going through Octoprint. the TronXY proprietary interface acts differently and was replying with errors on some commands. It took a while, but I finally found the Octoprint patch, applied it, then it started to work reasonably well and not skipping/shifts. Then I got used to how to level it, and to be super careful with touching the sides so it didn't mess that up. I also added a piece in the back to hold up the gantry better. I still don't like it. Don't us it much. I use my PRUSA and Ender all the time with no issues.
Ich liebe den X5SA PRO 3D Drucker und für Rund $479 amzn.to/2SMwbEw kann ich ihn nur wärmstens empfehlen!
Hi, just watched your vids, ive just got a Tronxy x5sa 500 pro.... But I'm having a major issue with the bed raising up and digging in to the nozzle.... even when i go to auto level the bed, it raises up too high initially and then it's all off... any ideas. Cheers Matt
Is the red light on the autoleveling sensor turning red when it nears the bed?. Also did you adjust your Z height in the settings
@@steamcastle2473 i give up with it.... now one z motor only works. So wired them up to work on one conection into the motherboard. Now they both go up and down. Still can't get the bed to stop crashing into the print head. Ive reset Z of set more time than I care to imagin. I can only conclude that i have a faulty printer.
Yes red light comes on on the auto level
@@FishEyECameraKits What version is you firmware? My is V1.4.1RC24m4
@@FishEyECameraKits Also you have the blue leveling sensor slide all the way down correct? As i totally forgot that when i had the blue sensor slide up on the 2 screws that hold it, it went into the bed. I totally forgot that happen to when i first turned on the printer. it was so long ago.
Link to nozzle? I can’t print for longer than 10 seconds.
Any MK8 nozzle will fit. But f you want a tronxy just go to Amazon and search Tronxy nozzle
It is obvious you know what you are doing with this 3D printer. But, I can’t watch you videos as the frame view is always moving. Makes me nauseous. Really, take a course in have to record video. Movement matters. Lighting matters. Thanks and will return later and hopefully your videos settle down and not make people seasick.
OK I'm a total noob to 3D printing and accessories. My wife bought me the Tronxy X5SA as an early Christmas gift. I got it assembled and spent a month watching youtube videos on it. I finally powered it on yesterday and have had nothing but issues. I finally got most of them taken care of, however I still have one major issue. I'm trying to do the test print with the file that comes on the SD card and all I get is a diagonal line from corner to corner. After it does that line it sits at 1% and does absolutely nothing else. Is there any thing you could help me with in setting up?
First when you set your printer to home, does it home correctly? Next when you do a auto level, does that work correctly? If that works, go to www.thingiverse.com and Download the XYZ 20mm Calibration Cube and try to print that.
This is my new tronxy x5sa pro- th-cam.com/video/TKoHO0PY19I/w-d-xo.html Absolute garbage.
Thanks for the video. My X5SA Pro has one of the carriages too tight as well. I haven't tried the steps your outlined yet. But now I know what to do.
I don't know if they fixed the hotend rail adjustment problem(the center rail). On mine you can only adjust the hotend rail wheels by removing the whole dam hotend and hotend mounting plate as it covers one of the rail wheels.
Appreciate your videos! They are very informative and helpful! Hope you keep making them :-)
I will be soon as I was busy, plus I am making a cheap enclosure for printing ABS and ASA filment.
Great review and video. I just ordered one of these based on your review. Thanks for sharing! We are new subscribers now and made sure to Thumbs Up! :-) Cheers!!!
What kind of material is the bed? Not the heated bed, this black stuff with the company label on it. Is this flexible? I second the issue with the moving camera in this video. Better use a tripod or something like that.
Why'd it keep blocking up the nozzle? Never answered that was it just new nozzle and tube
Hello :) thank you for videos! Could you do another review now after 2 months? I got several questions: 1) how is the rail system? Is it usable or just cheap? 2) how about connecting to octoprint?
Hi Jan, I've been running the X5SA pro for a week now and have to admit it is excellent. Printed excellent out of the box but now I have got the belt tensions dialed down can print 250mm calibration prints accurately. (1) The new rail system is excellent and I cannot fault it. I wasn't happy with the roller adjustments from the factory so I spent some time adjusting each carriage to get them running smooth and without any movement. Spend some time doing this to get it right. To adjust the carriage wheels tension you can use some right angle circlip pliers and insert them in the loosened grub screws rather than removing them completely. this gives more control when tightening the wheel post bolts. (2) Re Octoprint I have my Raspberry Pie ready to go but haven't tried it yet. I've just been loading prints onto the Micro SD and running off it. (3) I designed a new fan cowl for the hotend which works much better than stock. It is lighter but also eliminates cool air blowing downwards onto your part, important when running ABS. Link is here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3965016
How fast does the bed heat up to 60c?
creality cr 10s or x5sa pro? which one to buy
My X5SA Pro is on the way but wonder if you can let me know whether the bed can achieve 100ºc and if so how long. I have always added mains voltage silicone beds to my printers and think I will upgrade to this but not worth wasting the money if teh stock machine works ok. Cheers
For the 330mm bed the 24volt system probably works ok. Likely just slower to heat up than a mains voltage heater. Might benefit from a larger MOSFET or relay if they are using a single on board transistor for the heatbed from the factory.
Hi, this printer 3d really have these options : X5SA-500 PRO : 500*500*600mm + power off resume print + filament run-out detection + auto level ???
The one I have is the X5SA Pro. The X5SA Pro is 330x330x400, the X5SA 400 Pro is 400x400x400 and the X5SA 500 Pro is 500x500x500mm Bed. All have the same options other then the size of the bed is different. All three have new rail system, Titan Extruder, Auto leveling, Filament run-out detection and power off resume print. Please note if you live in US, they are finally here in bulk, the X5SA Pro is anyway. The X5SA Pro is selling on ebay from US sellers as low as $350 with free shipping when they have sales.
