Purchased in preparation to use on my newly assembled Voron. Filament leaked above the nozzle from day one of actual printing. When I tightened it to fix the issue, the melting zone extender snapped off. I contacted Phaetus support with photos and told them I'd done heat tightening and tightened the three titanium screws before first use. They responded with a generic "improper heat tightening" claim, ignoring everything I said and offered no real help. Ended up having to source the replacement parts myself. Would definitely recommend considering a different manufacturer.
Zero issues at this point. We'll see how long they last.
This company doesnt mess around. Shipping goes out sameday as order. They have awesome inventory. I have been self sourcing my voron 2.4 and i think i have done 7 different orders in the last 9 days. And even managed to order the wrong parts twice. And they handled my return so i could get the correct parts faster. I will do all my oders from them if they have the parts i need.
U1 is the best value around right now, great print quality out of the box and none of the “baggage” with Bambu Labs these days. This is my second U1 and the second printer I’ve bought from West3D. A great printer provided by a great company.
This is one of my new favorite colors going to be getting more very soon
I really like these fans they hold up very well
Ordered nozzles they were delivered not much to tell
It was possibly the absolute pinnacle of technology for a pancake stepper motor. Right until the moment my wife drove over the package left in the driveway by the delivery driver, rather than the porch, as usual. It lived up to its name right to the end. Farewell 🥞
Great printing filament. Very consistent within roll and across rolls!
I bought the Panda version for my P1S and loved it so much I had to buy another for my Mercury printer. Looks great and feels great. Perfect for a DIY printer
I really like the way Ambrosia ASA filament prints. I have found it to be consistent and reliable for the applications that I use it for (mostly outdoor items). That being said, I do find a higher than average rate that the spools will begin to have tangling issues about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through the spool. It always happens when I am in the middle of a project and respooling is a pain at that point. That is my only complaint with the filament that I have. I have only printed the ASA filament so I cannot speak to other filament types from Ambrosia.
All the PLA Dolos is incredible, prints great and looks even better.
he TMC5160 Plus from West3D has been an excellent upgrade for my 3D printer. Installation was straightforward, and the driver has performed flawlessly. It runs motors smoothly and quietly, even at higher speeds, with reliable performance throughout long prints.
As always, West3D provided fast shipping, quality packaging, and excellent customer service. It’s clear they stand behind the products they sell.
If you’re looking for a high-performance stepper driver for demanding 3D printing applications, I highly recommend the TMC5160 Plus from West3D.
West 3d is the best, never again am I buying printer parts from Amazon this is the 3rd of 4th round of things I got from them
This is what I'm working on. The printed Shuttle was ok... This is a beast. So straight and perfect. If you are doing a Stealth Changer don't waste time on the printed Shuttle. Just get this.
As advertised, quick shipping. Great job, guys.
As mentioned by someone else, this is too short. routing it behind the filament cutter "works" but you can no longer use the cutter unless you want to rip out the wires.
I purchased three Glacier plates (one each for my Bambu P1S, P2S, and X2D) after hearing excellent things about them. Overall, the build quality is excellent, and the finish is nice.
Unfortunately, my experience with the plates themselves was mixed.
On my P1S, the Glacier performed wonderfully. Adhesion was excellent, even on parts with very small contact areas, and it produced successful print after successful print. It felt like a great match for that printer.
My P2S was a different story. While many prints were successful, I experienced occasional corner lifting on larger parts that simply didn’t occur on the stock textured PEI plate.
The X2D proved to be the most challenging. Using the Cool Plate SuperTack profile, I found the Glacier had a much narrower tuning window than expected. I spent considerable time experimenting with temperatures, nozzle offset, and troubleshooting inconsistent adhesion. Some prints came out beautifully, while others under seemingly identical conditions would warp or lose adhesion. Eventually, I switched the X2D back to the standard textured PEI plate, where those same prints immediately became much more consistent.
I don’t believe the Glacier is a bad product—I actually think it’s a well-made specialty build plate that offers impressive adhesion under the right conditions. However, in my experience it wasn’t a drop-in replacement for the standard textured PEI, and it required more tuning than I was looking for on two of my three printers.
Love the colors and it prints beautifully!
Well, I installed it, it bent a bit and now it's broken. Unfortunately I couldn't even use it once. It sucks.
Picked up this for input shaping on my multiple Voron printers. Very happy with the modularity and the ease of use.
Love this camera, easy to install (just plug the USB port in and enable), and is built for higher chamber temps. I'm using this camera in all of my printers now. Is a little bulkier than some other options though.
