The sliding door was very stiff and did not go in and out well. It broke after a couple of uses. I printed a new one from the github repository and it worked like a charm. I’m not sure what was wrong with the original one.
Scooped this up to convert my Prusa MK3S to Revo. Went this route over the preconfigured packages as I didn't want pay for nozzles I didn't need (already on the Revo system with other printers and have nozzles). It heats up super fast, getting from room tempt to 260c faster than the stock heat bed gets from 100c to 110c. Love the Revo system and the added watts for faster heating is great.
Ambrosia PETG is super easy to print. Prints great right out of the box. No issues with stringing or blobbing on my Prusa MK3S and Mini. Spools have been well wound and no tangles/jams over 2kg so far. I've used it for printer parts as well as functional parts that have been used outdoors. Hopefully they can expand the color palette.
The one main concept of tap was the optical sensor. That is where the accuracy comes from. CL used a microswitch on this version. Might as well keep the original Voron Z switch. The problem with any mechanical switch is something called "bounce". Bounce was never an issue until solid state electronics came around. Put the optical back please. The CNC portion is fantastic, pretty and very well done. I was also leary about the 7mm rail vs original tap 9mm. It seems solid and does result in a weight savings over the 9mm. I ended up using the carbon fiber version of TAP and stole the rail off of this thing. ...then it went into the parts bin.
The kit included everything I needed to finish the belt tension tool. Printed the plastic parts, assembled, calibrated and used the tool. For a newbie like me, it was fairly easy but not real peasy.
The 60W heater core heats up (really!) quickly and accurately. The ObXidian nozzles so far have done a great job of not sticking to filament inside or out, and they flow well. A few times I have made a complete mess getting cooling dialed in on the new setup, but a quick IPA wipe when hot has cleaned the nozzle perfectly every time. It would have been nice if a 0.8mm or 1.0mm nozzle came with the High Flow X pack instead, as the flow rate of the 0.6mm is only marginally greater than the 0.4mm (which already flows very well), but overall I'm happy with the variety and the more powerful heater core.
I used this to improve an old flashforge creator pro that was struggling with consistency despite refreshing all the parts on tool head. I am thrilled with how this upgrade solved those problems and brought new life back into this old printer. The filament path is short, extruder precise and powerful, and the revo nozzles are easy to work with and change. Highly recommend.
Another review for West3D? 🤪Nothing but accolades for the company! Fast shipping, and quality products!
Upgraded to the Galileo 2 from the Clockwork 2 and it's been great. Happy to not have to worry about dialing in multiple backlash factors. I simply loosely tightened the thumb screw and then ran a print where it would push my flow rate and tightened the screw until there was no more extrusion issues.
Shipping and delivery were very timely!
I absolutely love Ambrosia filament. It is almost all that I use. The colors are beautiful. My new fave is Rainbow Rush. The colors shift well with smaller projects.
Ambrosia ASA Galactic has turned into my go to sparkle filament. Prints nicely on my V0.3531 @250c with Rapido 2 HF & 110c bed temp. Keep bringing out the new colors 😀
These tires and feet are very convienient when building a Box Turtle. Instead of fighting to get clean TPU prints, you can just install these. They fit perfectly and look good too.
Very nice drop in chamber heater! Its slim case made it very easy to fit into my printer and the wiring was pretty straight forward. Verh happy with my purchase once again thanks to west3d 👍🏻
These are full 4040 extrusions with rounded corner, great for stiffening your frame or, in my case sleeker side panel inserts. Plain black as you would expect and the finish is very good.
I was having some print quality issues with my BTT Manta board and decided to give this one a shot with the idea that I will eventually move my Voron 2.4 to 48v motors, and it was an easy swap and fixed a lot of the quality issues I had problems tracking down on the manta. Its another solid hit by LDO
still haven't put it together . It goes beyond my solder skills...
not for people not used to electronic building
