You have to do the manual bed levelling. All the 'auto level' does is map irregularities in the bed's surface.
And it's much simpler to just replace a non-flat print bed with a flat print bed.

Personally the tronxy xy looks like an ender 3 clone - so I wouldn't touch either with a long bargepole.

If you want a tronxy go for the x5sa pro.

Had good reports on those.

But ANY ender model or clone thereof - I would not recommend to a new user, or an old one for that matter.
Just a really crap design, and pretty much guarenteed to give you lots of problems.
I looked around and couldn't fine a better unit, at least based on features for the price, so I ordered the X5SA Pro.

The YT Reviews are really mixed on it, and one was really bad. All the reviews pointed to this not being a kit for beginners. It seems like it's truly a DIY kit. Kind of reminds me going to Heath Kit, as a kid, and buying stuff I had to put together. But I'm thinking this will be easier since I won't need to solder anything to a board.

Wish me luck!
