Printed in ABS for the hotend upgrade of a friends Tronxy X5SA Pro.
The print was easy and worked quite well.

The problem was offset between the two gantry screws. The distance was about 1.5mm too short so the backplate wouldnt fit.

I think its an version problem, not a problem with the file but still wasn't a fit for his printer.

However we do like the hook feature for the mounting plate this works very well.

@JA_LA Hey there and thank You for review. Yes, it's not first time I ran into differences issues between Tronxy machines made in different time periods. Though I think I could easily modify the file for You to include wider positioning of mounting holes.

@fenrise_286655 Yeah i thought so that this might be a common problem. Thank you for your offer but we already did. I'll post a remix combined with an bltouch mount as soon we get it to run properly and thoroughly tested.

@D4rksid3D Thank You for the review. Although need to warn You that the Tronxy filament sensor is flawed, and works only one way (right as the arrow shows). And attempt of automatic retracting of the filament after detecting its end will cause it to stuck in the FS and extruder gears to grind it, making mess. Filement sensor need to be opened (just remove the screws and pry the lid open) and its mechanical switch lever inside need to be modified/bent to allow passage of filament in both ways. Without that its not recommended to allow filament to end and trigger filament change behavior. It will most likely end in a jam.

Was going to write a solution to that issue but still lacking time to get back to Tronxy.
