Glad I paid the extra to get the pre-made one vs buying the kit. The West3d tension meter is high quality and includes the calibration wire.
I shipped to an APO address and got it in a week.
Absolutely excellent, exactly what i ordered. I thought a piece was missing, talked with support got it figured out in a quick an a hurry . Excellent service!
The built-in light on the A1 is weak and badly positioned. I have my A1 in the basement and this light kit lights up the whole bed evenly for remote monitoring. The plug and play with integration to onboard light is the cherry on top. 10/10 purchase.
Attached a pic of my setup. (Look how well I can see my print failed lol)
This is now my goto ASA. Prints great, and the price is hard to beat!
west is awesome. this extruder setup however I am not impressed with.
I can hear this extruder skipping at 120mm/s print with amperage set at .85 with a .6 high flow nozzle. the sprite pro it replaced with a .4 nozzle was happily doing 250mm/s before skipping. also had to remove a printer to clear up a usb port so I could run the so3 board. causing me to have to redesign my gantry because it adds 20mm to the right side. if it just ran canbus it wouldn't be an issue since my board has 2 of them. unfortunately, I don't think I can continue to run this extruder and have wasted my money on it. it sure lays down nice layers and heats up quick but I value my time (speed) more than a first layer. I'm going to give it one more chance and ditch the s03 and throw 48 volts at it before I put it back in the box and get something else. I'm actually pretty upset. I put many hours into redesign, firmware setup and tuning just to find out I made a downgrade and is outperformed by an entry level printer hotend
Flows like crazy! Getting 55 cubic at 290c with cheap Sunlu ABS.
Amazing quality with everything you need. Perfect
This hardware kit has everything you need. The quality is also amazing. Highly recommend.
I have purchased the fully assembled and the kit and both have been great. On one of them the nh36 reset button had fallen off during shipping and west3d support sent me out a new one and it’s been working great ever since.
Mine didn't last. Put it in my newly built Dragon Burner and it failed after limited use. Replaced it with another brand that was purchased from West3d after that and we are up and running again. Only problem is the replacment has no tach, so I'm still looking for a decent replacement.
This is a great 3d printer. Works right out of the box. I had it set up and printing within an hour. The ams is awesome. It seals tight and the drying works good. I ran 1 12 hour drying cycle and my humidity has stayed at 9% until I open the ams. This would be a great 1st 3d printer.
You can’t beat this ASA, especially for the price. It prints beautifully and consistently the same every time.
works well, reliable, easy to use, good build quality
the shuttle is nice, the hub is nice, the rest is also nice. very good value and quality
This kit is excellent! It goes together smoothly as long as you follow the documentation. The print quality and speed are amazing. My first Voron was a V2.2, and this is my second. The compact size makes it very convenient for sitting in my home office for quickly printing and iterating on designs.
As for West3D, these folks truly understand the 3D printer community. Support on Discord is outstanding! I had an issue with a printed part that I ordered along with my kit and they made it right without hesitation. I also blew a fuse on an electronic component (very clearly my own fault), and they helped me troubleshoot the issue and identify what needed to be replaced. I can't speak more highly about these guys.
The speed this nozzle provides is super useful. I rarely push it to the max flow rate, but it's nice having some headroom and knowing I can crank up the feedrate if I need a print done quickly.
I've been using this hotend on both my printers for almost a year now and they have been incredibly reliable. It prints decently fast with a CHT nozzle, but if you're going for speed I would get the UHF variant.
I have one on my 2.4 and other on my V0. Runs awesome and gives the choice of usb or canbus. Ion my 2.4 my cartographer has a spot so no need to run usb to the main MCU.
It’s probably my fault but I could not get this working correctly. I finally found a config after lots of google and only the lower left would light up. I’ll just stick with the normal rainbow barf
Mine developed a rattle and eventually failed. This replacement works great. And was cost effective.
I bought a rapido 1 from a local store going out of business, never installed it, thought the revo hf would be enough. Finally got around to putting it in my printer and decided that the other printer needed one too. The rapido 2 fits exactly the same as the rapido 1. Works great flows way more than the revo could even dream of, plus it can print hotter.
I bought this one strictly because it’s the first one I found with an extension harness. It’s a great chamber thermistor for my v0.2
This flows great, haven’t done a max flow comparison to the non cht nozzle I had but it’s pushing more plastic than I could before so I’ll take that as a win
