I'm building a tronxy X3 kit. Does anyone have settings for this machine?

Did you try using the configuration assistant and choosing Other and then filling in your machine specs?

Thanks, I'll try that but was hoping that someone had worked through all the details I'm unfamiliar with as this is my first Bowden machine.

You will get most of the information from the product page or manual if you had gotten any

1. googled the printer and looks like Prusa model, so choose Reprap/Marlin firmware. so choose that
2. Build volume, nozzle size and filament diameter will be there in the product page
3. if your machine has a heated bed, click that check box
4. no. of extruder based on the config you have
5. Baud rate is usually 115200 or 250000

Greeting from Sin City. I'm having connection issues, hope I'm in the right place but I just purchased S3D and cant connect to my Tronxy X3A. I know I have the correct com port and baud rate. I have not had any issues with Repetier. I have been using the printer with great success. However if I try to connect through the "Machine Control Panel" I get a cant connection failed message.

I even went as far as to update my bios and usb drivers and settings. No Joy. I know I'm chasing zebras and there is an easy fix. What am I missing?

This should solve it:
