Lovely matte dark grey abs. Prints like butter...One of my all time favs. Great job.
put 'em on a 350 v2. they look cool, didn't take the time to test prior vs post installation. I do wish they made a cheaper kit with two steel for the y's and a titanium for the x. But no worries.
This plate is like a form bot kit PEI with glue on it. I was amazed at how well my prints stuck compared to my first build plate. Having texture on both sides is really nice. I would definitely buy another one and recommend it.
This board offers a lot of benefits. It reduces the number of drivers needed on your main board so an octopus board can be used for AWD. Simplifies the cabling making future troubleshooting easier.
The only issue I had is with the extra GPIOs. I couldn't figure out how to use GPIO 2 and 3 for filament sensors.
no slop, no wiggle, no issues. they're cleaned, greased, and ready to go. leagues better than the LDO rails.

the best print plate ever!!! my only problems are when they're on backorder and printing black filaments, but that's to be expected.
This was my first order from West3D and I was thoroughly impressed. Fast shipping, quality components, and very clear hardware packaging made this project a breeze. Will definitely order from West3D and LDO again.
One of my best plates works like a charm. I cant live without my super stick plate.
The ASA-CF prints very smoothly. Aside from the black, I have the purple and red. Black is dark charcoal, as is typical. Maybe a bit darker charcoal than other black ASA-CF's. The red is really too dark to notice the color, but the dark purple works really well.
Nice, matte surface finish that hides the layer lines. It seems a bit more flexible than some other ASA-CF I have, which is neither good nor bad. It's just an observation. Good Z layer strength as well.
No clogging has been experienced with a Diamondback 0.4mm, printing at 265C with a 110C build plate, and 60C chamber.
Loved the Galactic Midnight Meteorite so much that I immediately bought a 2nd roll. The deep purple is amazing and it prints great. There are so few excellent purples out there.
But the GMM ASA is not perfect. The resin is too glossy for my taste. The gloss highlights the layer lines.
Photos show the GMM next to a Fusion ABS Geomagnetic Mauve which is matte and produces a smoother looking part. It would be great to offer this super purple color in non-sparkly ASA as well as in the new matte ABS.
I originally bought it direct but decided to finally replace it after 2 years of non stop use. One of the best tools in my arsenal for 3d printing.
Really pretty filament! This stuff prints great at 260C nozzle, 100C bed. I measured good results with a volumetric flow rate of up to 25 mm3/s on a standard E3D Revo 0.6mm. The glitter isn't too much, which is good - it's just enough for a little sparkle to make prints stand out beyond non-glitter filament. For $1 more than non-glitter Ambrosia, I'm a big fan of this stuff!
