This belt tension gauge is easy to use and very repeatable. I tried a few self-printed options and sound meters and never got repeatable results. This tool makes belt tensioning far easier. The gauge itself is really well built and feels professional. It was easy to buy from West3D and I consider it one my better purchases.
I like to print a lot of abrasive materials, and Undertakers are my go tos. My first one has over 1000 hours and still going strong. Love these nozzles
This plate is NOTICEABLY thicker than any other plate I have. So far it's pretty pretty solid and holds pla/abs/asa pretty well. I'll continue using it as my main plate.
I used this board to upgrade my Stealth Changer to 48v on the AB motors and Z motors. Set up was simple.
I got this fan for my Stealth Changer build so I could monitor the fan speed of the hot end fan of eat tool. Great performance with built in tach. You can't go wrong with this fan model.
Upgraded to the .9 degree 37mm D shaft from the stock LDO motors. Big improvements with higher speeds and better input shaper results with these motors and double shear mounts. These are a great upgrade for any 3D printer.
Dried this in the highest setting in the Polydryer (~70C) for over 24h fresh out of the bag. This stuff is still insanely brittle and difficult to work with. By brittle, I mean even after drying, if you're not careful feeding the filament into your printer, it'll snap.
I was hoping to use this to print new parts for my Core One, but I'm currently unable to even feed this into the printer without the nextruder snapping the filament.
PHA is known to warp and I can't claim this stuff doesn't, but once you get a solid profile and know it's strengths and weaknesses it will print silky smooth. I have been testing genPha material directly from Polar filaments, but the price, shipping, and cardboard spools through west3d has me sold and I'll be a repeat customer. This PHA formulation is much easier to work with than others I've tried, but worth noting that orange frog tape or smooth pei + PVOH glue stick are your friends. I've been recently testing directly on g10 with glue stick, but have heard great things from purpose made g10 build plates too. Large flat surfaces are still a challenge, but most prints with the right bed surface and a brim will print surprisingly well. Might take a little tinkering, but in my opinion it's well worth it.
If you need more flow, this is a simple way to add some. Have tried a number of sizes from 0.4-1.8 - definitely recommend trying these in the larger sizes for some interesting possibilities.
Great colors, prints well, and outstanding support from west3d as always. can't go wrong here!
First layers are beautiful. The probe is fast and very accurate. I’m using it wired to the LiDAR port on a K1‑Max, so installation was straightforward.
Eddy current probing isn’t new or magical, but good software and quality materials make all the difference — and this probe delivers both.
It’s more expensive than some alternatives, yes, but for the cost of a DoorDash, the reliability and peace of mind are 100% worth it.
Gotta say love the carriage, so light. Now waiting on the fastener kit which get this. I ordered the Xol carriage on Friday 4pm UK time and it arrived today 9pm. I ordered the fastener kit earlier and from a company less than an hour away and gotta wait up to 48h's for it to be delivered.
Used on an Ender 5 pro converted to a Mercury 1 one. Had an issue with the pt1000 thermistor and contacted customer support. They immediately sent one out and within a week had it installed and never been an issue since. Would highly recommend as an upgrade to almost any hotend.
Shipping was super fast! 2 days max from time the order left the warehouse to my house.
Building this beast was much easier than I was expecting. Slot in the uprights and bolt em in, flying gantry floats on in, plug in all the wiring, super satisfying and a far cry better than the machine builds from back then even 5 years ago.
Open source from the software all the way to the hardware with all of the step files for every single thing down to the last bolt. A standard I will proudly hold on to vehemently.
Really looking forward to the future I will have with this machine.
Also the bonus sucker and sticker, nice little touch.
Has everything you need! Even if your using G2Z and also the lower panel. COMPLETE KIT!! Thanks West3D!!
The board works well and the service from west3D is excellent.
Listen… I’ve printed a lot of filaments. I’ve had tantrum-throwing PLA, moody PETG, and ABS that smelled like it was burning my hopes and dreams.
But Prince of Purple Ambrosia ASA?
This majestic purple noodle walked into my printer like it owned the place — because it does! And this Prince of Persia color shifting ASA is so good, it'll make you smack yourself!
From the first layer, I knew I wasn’t dealing with commoners. This was filament with of the gods!
Its a great looking board planning on using it for an E3NG build it seems like a high quality product. "Would recommend"
Got tired of using purple gluestick, bought a small bottle to try it out and was very impressed. Sticks very well and haven't had to re-apply after 10 plates already and didn't even use that much to initially apply it.
