    Nice video, the backwards mounted hotend threw me for a loop, haha. I was also surprised to see the 2020 extrusion for the x-axis, but it is probably a cheap and fairly rigid way to have a linear axis.

      Yea, remembering to reverse the print every revision threw me off the first few times! That was the only way to record the interesting bits.
      I assume it's fairly rigid; the wheels seem well planted... possibly a little too well, as there's some dust developing from rubbing on the 2020 where they mate. I also don't think I had to adjust the lobe for the wheels. Hopefully the dust is just something in the anodized coating... we'll see.
      I'm not *really* looking forward to fixing any wobble if I'm honest. I've got high hopes that artifacts are from rattly bearings or a hackish firmware; we'll see.

    I have this same printer and saw the updated profiles - I'm a newbie at this and not sure how to use them in Cura? Thanks!

      I"ve never actually seen a profile for this. If you can point me to them, so I can see what you're referring to, I may be able to answer the question.
      Edit: Unless you mean my profile there. In which case you can either copy them manually into the configs folder or just use Tronyx XY-2 Pro profile in Cura as a base and editing it as necessary to make it work. I don't recall needing too much to get there.

    Great video, did you end up finding a Marlin build for it ? I got given this broken and have managed to get it up and running and tried using a CXY-V5 marlin build and it loaded ok but wouldn't home and was bit of a disaster, so I've reloaded the original firmware for now.

      I didn't mention in there? I have it running stock Marlin for its board, and it works fine. I'll see if I just didn't publish the video.

      I didn’t see it in the playlist. I have seen the one on the tronxy xy-2pro and followed that, I did a build for the x6a but when I loaded it the heating worked but the homing wouldnt work, it seemed to ignore the limit switches and a lot of crunching ensued. I also assumed the stepper drivers were not tmc on the x6a. My x6a has the blue auto level sensor rather than a z limit switch. I also wasn’t sure which rhapsody printer to bas the x6a I believe the board is a cxy-v5 even though it only has V1 written on it (it looks the same). Any ideas on what you did with the x6a would be great.
