Bought this hat myself and I’m honestly impressed. The quality is solid, the fit is comfortable, and it actually looks good without feeling like cheap merch.
I’ve been wearing it a lot already—both on stream and out—and it’s holding up great. Definitely worth it if you’re thinking about grabbing one.
Best filament i have use so fare will buy again
Printed a toolhead with ABS that ended up melting due to proximity to the build plate. Reprinted the same toolhead with PC-CF from Ambrosia and it has held up no problem long past the amount of time the ABS one handled. Love it!
Every time a West 3D order comes in, it’s a race to see which kid can grab the Caramel Apple Pop from the box. Now I can just buy an extra with every order.
Perfect fit and finish for the Snapmaker U1. Not sure how well it retains heat for more technical filaments, but it did well to keep the interior temp at about 36C when I was printing ABS with a 90C bed. It also dampens fan noise a noticeable amount, and the clear material allowed me to set a simple LED lamp on top for additional illumination.
I purchased this to use while I await the official cover. I could have went with a DIY bin cover, but the price wasn't too bad, and included 4 rolls of 1KG filament. If I end up with another Snapmaker U1, this will probably have a home on it, too.
Downsides might be the lack ofpre-drilled holes for a filament bypass, but the DIY potential is there for that as well as other mods. I've only added a temp & moisture readout so far.
Cant beat this for the price its worth every dollar spent on it and its not hard to install
So i ordered this for the P1S the wrong order arrived they shipped the correct item out 1 day later it arrived quicker than the first one did which i was worried about so i installed it right away honestly the customer service was great im not sure if the person i talked to on the phone was the owner but he walked me through the process of getting the correct item shipped out the item has been printing now stop since installed i haven't used any abrasive materials yet but i will soon.. also the install was straight forward just take your time so you dont damage any of the ribbons or boards on your printer that was the hardest part of the install
Looks good and honesty i think it fits better than the stock cover i haven't had it long enough to see if the cooling is better
I've picked these up from here, amazon, and aliexpress so far. Both the others failed in the exact same use case within weeks of being installed, but this one has been chugging away without issue since it went in. The difference to buying here versus other places is you know what you're getting and they stand behind it as well.
Overall pretty impressed with the fans and the service at West
I've been bouncing around a few manufacturers lately and landed on some Ambrosia ASA recently for a few hotend parts. Tried out my first roll, it was smooth as butter with a generic profile, no tuning. Of course I tuned it after that first test print, then promptly purchased way too much of it over the next few weeks.
So far I've only really used 3 colors out of the lineup, but I'm loving the Galactic Super Blue. On the fourth roll now, the color is super consistent, the print quality is exactly what you'd expect from a more premium filament product, and it just prints like a dream.
If you're needing some unique colors in ASA, or any type for that matter, Ambrosia is hard to beat.
I've been told by my wife that if I buy anymore before finishing at least 10kg, she'll have me sleeping outside, but thankfully outside of a minor flow rate difference between 1 of the 3 colors I've used (-0.01), they just print smoothly all of the time, so I should be able to pull that off in no time
Exactly what I needed and came with all the jumper cables needed.
Keep in mind the sense_resistor is different on these boards than klipper defaults!!!
Even with that, probably the easiest board to get running on your printer. Little extra wiring, plug it in, boom. Its preflashed with Klipper and Katapult. Runs my beacon great plugged into the USB out.
Just out of the gate, all performance aside, a nozzle that can print abrasives at this price is pretty impressive. Throw on top of that - these are harder than tungsten carbide and more thermally conductive than brass! I put these on my printer looking for something that might maintain my CHT flow while being less cloggable for abrasives and these delivered. You likely could only top these with copper for conductivity, but not for abrasives.
I haven't had any issues with durability but from a materials perspective I believe these are technically more brittle than other hardened materials. Just don't be a fool.
As an additional vanity metric, with some brushing and cleaning after some use these take on a gorgeous patina.
I wish west3d also carried the 0.6 that Phaetus makes :)
Worked great until it broke. It was still within the warranty period.
Unfortunately, Chaotic labs had zero interest in honoring the warranty period. West3d did their best to help but no luck. Would definitely recommend West3d, but I can no longer recommend anything from Chaotic labs
still setting this thing up but I connected it on a bench and flashed it for USB and then CAN. Pretty smooth process and documented well enough
easy print PLA. This filament is smooth and buttery
The documentation is great for this bed scanner
I like how it is not as sensitive to temperature compared to other scanners I have used
I love this orange color. This filament is so good.
Whisper quiet and smooth. Love the improved print quality. Fast delivery also. Thanks.
I received my product in New and excellent condition. Shipped fast and arrived packaged and intact. Highly recommend there team for shipping and packaging. Product was exactly what was needed. Great and quality service. Will recommend to my friends.
Everything came in original packaging and was delivered expeditiously. The hotend are already installed in my printer and working as expected.
I personally will not use west3d again, I spent today calling and emailing them
for basic product information and order specifications. I called at 10:07 am right after opening, I emailed once then and twenty minutes prior to close. No reply via email or phone. They literally accomplished nothing in an entire business day. I literally have spent easily 4-5k$ with this company and I regret it.
