Just received a 355x355 today, I have been struggling with printing lw-asa its been a devil to get unstuck from my old PEI build sheet, been using MagiGoo etc, that improved things, but still was a real pita to get off.
Read reviews about G10 FR4 Garalight some said "it just pops off when cold" other were not as favorable, still I took a chance.
First print was apprehensive as the first lw-asa print I did on my PEI sheet almost took the PEI sheet with it until I used MagiGoo, but regardless I thought just do it.
Kicked the print off, 2 hours later, it finished, let it cool and WOW the print had perfect adhesion, but popped right off with the lightest touch.
Gonna keep a look out for the 305x305 to come in stock as I need one now for my Trident cube.
I received it and within 30 minutes i was printing, highly recommend for those who desire cleaner cable runs and easier config.
I was out of the 3d printing game for a few years and had only owned Ender 3's and a 5 Plus. Grabbed a CC1 and was blown away by the speed and quality of its prints. That and i wasn't spending most of my time tinkering, just printing. Then the CC2 came out and I was very intrigued. Fast forward to tax return day, a coupon, and I ordered one from West3d. I'm local, so I got the notification it was ready and picked it up. Absolutely amazing machine. 162 hours on it so far and no major issues. Just the connection problems with Elegoo's terrible cloud service. I put it in LAN mode and all is well. I've done quite a few multicolor prints and the quality and speed is amazing. Especially for the price. For functional printing (what i mainly do), it just needs a chamber heater (i got the creality heater) and it prints paht-cf flawlessly. Asa, abs, etc all come out great as well. Very happy with this printer.
Love it, fast shipping and my nozzel so far hasnt clogged.
I've used filament from other companies, but I now typically only buy my filament from West 3D.
These guys are fantastic.

Had problems with other types of eddy sensors
This one shipped fast with no problems and works like magic
Recommending this as a must upgrade
v8 for a stealthchanger upgrade
11:09 AM
5/5 — Right fasteners, right price, no hunting around
Picked up the V8 kit for a Stealthchanger build. At $1.49 for a complete SS304 fastener set sized specifically for the Rapidburner, there's really no reason to dig through your hardware bin trying to figure out what you need. Everything comes bagged by type which makes assembly straightforward — no dumping a pile of mixed screws on your bench.
Brass heat set inserts are included which is a nice touch given how often those get forgotten as a separate order. West3D's BDF kits across the board have been consistently good quality and this is no exception.
Grabbed this for my Voron V0.2 build running the Kirigami bed. The stock front bed mount lighting situation leaves something to be desired, and this PCB remix cleans it up nicely. PH connectors, Wagos included — everything you need to make the wiring tidy without a bunch of improvisation.
Fit is correct, board quality is fine, and having the Wagos bundled in saves a separate order. At $15 it's a no-brainer upgrade if you're already running Kirigami. Just bring your own
Grabbed a handful of these for my Voron 2.4 350 build. At a dollar a bearing there's not much to deliberate over — correct dimensions, double sealed, spins smoothly. Dropped right in where they needed to go with no fitment issues.
Not much else to say. They're F695-2RS bearings. They work. Buy the quantity your BOM calls for and move on.
Grabbed these for the GE5C mod on my Voron 2.4 350. If you're still running the stock Z joints and haven't done this mod yet, do yourself a favor — it's a worthwhile upgrade and these bearings are exactly what you need for it.
ABEC5 rated, all metal, fit is spot on. No slop, no issues. At $3 a bearing you're not going to find better value for a quality-graded spherical bearing sourced domestically. West3D stocks them reliably which matters when you're mid-build and don't want to wait two weeks for an AliExpress shipment.
Picked these up for my Trident build. If you're running Gates belt you might as well run matching Gates pulleys and idlers — no point pairing quality belt with off-brand motion hardware that doesn't hold true profile tolerances.
Fit is exactly right, finish is clean, and they spin smoothly. These are the same components West3D uses in their own Berserker motion kits, which tells you everything you need to know about confidence in the product.
Not much more to say — they're Gates, they're correct spec, they work. Buy them.
Went with the black stainless BDF kit for my Trident 350 build — matched the all-black aesthetic I'm going for and I didn't want to deal with zinc-plated hardware rusting out in a heated enclosure.
The kit is genuinely complete. Every size you need is here, quantities are above BOM so you're not scrambling when the **** monster claims a victim mid-build, and the black electrophoresis coating is a proper wear-resistant finish, not cheap black oxide. Fastener quality is solid across the board.
If you're self-sourcing a Trident, just buy this and check fasteners off the list. Piecing it together from multiple sources to save a few bucks isn't worth the time.
Grabbed the POWGE/Gates motion set for my Trident 350 build. Everything you need in one shot — belts, pulleys, idlers, all to BOM spec. Gates belt quality is what it is; no stretch issues, tensioned up nicely and input shaper results came back clean.
Sourcing motion components individually and hoping you got the right tooth counts and widths is a headache nobody needs. This kit takes that off the table. West3D is the place to get it.
Picked up the 320x320 750W pad for my Voron Trident 350 build. Fits the MIC6 plate well, wired it up through an SSR as you should with anything this wattage. Heats up fast and holds temp consistently through a full heat soak.
The built-in 150C thermal cutoff is a nice safety net, and the thermistor is NTC 100K — just set it to Generic 3950 in Klipper and it reads accurately right out of the box. No fuss.
Good quality at a reasonable price for what it is. West3D is the right place to grab this if you're sourcing a Trident BOM — everything in one place.
Picked these up for my Voron 2.4 350 build. Getting genuine IGUS chains cut to the correct BOM spec — right link count, right end pieces — all in one order is way more convenient than trying to source them individually and figure out the part numbers yourself. West3D takes that headache completely off the table.
Quality is exactly what you'd expect from IGUS. No janky no-name chain that'll crack after a few months of thermal cycling. Snapped together cleanly, routed without any issues.
If you're building a V2.4 and want to just check "cable chain" off the list without thinking about it, this is the way to go.
Been running this MIC6 350mm plate for several months now and it's been rock solid. Dropped right in during my 2.4 rebuild — all the holes were on-spec, tapping was clean, nothing needed to be chased or forced.
The flatness is the real story. My bed mesh is tight and consistent heat soak to heat soak. It's one of those parts that just removes a variable from the equation entirely.
At ~$105 for a 350mm made-to-order CNC plate, the value is hard to argue with. It's made to order so expect a week or so before it ships, but that's clearly stated upfront and worth the wait. Would buy again without hesitation.
Picked up a set of MGN9H rails from West3D for a Voron Trident 350mm build. Packaging was solid — rails arrived well protected with no damage in transit. Straightforward ordering process and fast shipping as usual from West3D.
The rails themselves are smooth and consistent. Carriage preload feels appropriate right out of the box — not loose, not binding. Ran them through a quick inspection and they're straight within what I'd expect for this price tier. No gritty spots or obvious defects on any of them.
West3D continues to be my go-to for Voron BOM sourcing. Good quality, reasonable pricing, and they actually stock what you need. Would buy again for future builds.
Much stronger than what you would receive in a kit.
With limited Z travel for this class of CNC, I wanted something low profile and this vise fit the bill nicely. This was out of stock for some time, so when it came back into stock I jumped on it and am glad I did. It is very well made and though I don't have the C500 yet, I did bench test it and it works very well.
This is truly a Plug and Play USB camera that can be mounted into a printer. If you are running several USB devices it may cause a shutdown and prevent the MCU from being detected for the control board in your printer. That is a Pi USB limitation. You can resolve that with the Pi Torque CAN hat.
Luke's Lab has provided nothing but quality products. Their support is outstanding and prompt. I highly recommend the Nocturne camera to anyone who wants to add a simple video feed to any Pi or mini computer hosted printer.
