GearBest has kindly send me a 3D printer for review, it is the TRONXY X5S which has a build volume of 330 x 330 x 400 and features core XY kinematics

This is a full KIT, unlike printers like the CR10 that require about 6 screws and your done, this one has a few sub parts assembled but you will need a day to build it up, and if your not mechanically minded, help may be a good idea.

Although the printer was sent to me FOC, Customs and Couriers made sure it was not totally free. This review will still remain unbiased and honest so dont think I will hide things from you if I find any issues, you will know about it.

In this video we will assemble the Frame

This printer is turning out to be quite impressive, packaging was good and materials quality is excelent, more to follow as we build this printer. I anticipate it taking about 4 hours (If your not trying to video at the same time )

There will be many more videos as I build this printer and run it through a few tests.
