The MAX's toolhead PCB does not have the same connections this uses. My OEM one failed and unfortunately SoVol doesn't sell the sensor alone, you have to buy the full toolhead, which is out of stock. This listing, at the time of purchase, said it's compatible with the Max but that is false. The MAX doesn't have the 3.3v pin needed to power it, and it's iffy if that same 5 pin mini-jst connector was correct. The instructions, both printed and digital included on the USB drive, do not state this is for the MAX, only the base model SV08. Why this shop decided it did is beyond me, and the Q&A section seemed to imply it's compatible but reading the fine print it's a general comment about the sensor on the max, not an explicit statement that this sensor works on the max. But from SoVol themselves, this part is only for the base model SV08.
At first i thought i could use it as a nonstick frying grill, but i cranked up the bed heat to 70°c and I couldn't ask for a better build plate. My compliments to the chef!
It is so nice to have a store I trust to sell me genuine gates components. I really appreciate west3D's commitment to quality and transparency!
I really like this Fysetc board. Ive used many different toolhead boards and this one has been rock-solid, as well as significantly more flexible with various set-ups. Plus, its nice not to have to worry about colling the board in the occasional spicy chamber I print in.
Used this in my Dragon Ace hotend with a busted pt1000 thermistor. Great E3D quality and works great!
Quality components packaged with care, as always! Not much more to say, it's a genuine Omron switch and works well.
I only use EPDM belts as I hate having to worry about stretching of my belts in the hot chamber of my printer. These are genuine GATES and it is nice to have more length than I need all in one loop.
This is an awesome product, and as far as I can tell exclusive to west3D.
No matter what any youtube video says, you must heat the bed all the way to edges or your ABS/ASA parts will curl up there. Now that the bed is heated entirely and uniformly, I can utilize the full 250x250mm of my Trident 250. Before this upgrade I would have to think long and hard about printing a part larger than 220 x 220. I have even tried extended pre-heat times of over an hour on a printer that takes 15 minutes to get up to temp. Nothing works with difficult geometry, the heat is just sucked away too quickly at the edges.
No matter what the Voron instructions say, or any hot shot on youtube, I highly recommend you heat your bed uniformly and entirely.
Two thumbs up to West3D for bringing this product in.
Having purchased several things from West3D, I knew they would have exactly what I needed this time. The fact that it's a genuine part made me confident that it would work exactly as it was designed
Shocked to see 5 star reviews for this product, the worst PEI flex plate I've ever purchased. ** This is not a reflection of West3D, they are great and I continue to be a customer, but this is a warning on how this sheet performs ** The first sheet I received had the PEI portion peeling off when I unboxed. I sent a picture of it to West 3D and they replaced (for free) immediately. Replacement sheet came in same condition, within 5 prints both sheets are in the garbage. When removing parts, the PEI coating rips up. Not after prolonged use, after the first use. The PETG warning should really include ABS and ASA I suppose? Maybe PLA works well, but have not tried it. On both the original sheet and the replacement sheet, they ripped on the first and second print respectively. It's what I would imagine one would get on AliExpress or something. I feel bad about writing this, because West3D are good people, just pickup a different flex plate from West3D. The other goto sheet I have I purchased from West3D, using it since last Fall/Winter, and hope to again (when they have in back in stock, but picked this up because I didn't want to wait. this was a mistake)
While this bed is good for simple materials such as PLA and basic ABS, and engineering grand filament that has warping/contraction issues will destroy the surface and cause it to delaminate, FAR too easily. The photo is literally the FIRST print ive run on this brand new build plate (an Orca Slicer max flow calibration test for Polypro ABS). I used 1 single layer of vision miners Nanopolymer Adhesive, and as you can see, its already damaged, with new spots from the prior print that you can feel via touch that are much higher than the rest of the bed. The nozzle offset appeared perfect and was not too close not too far from the bed. I will attempt to run a different ABS print again without ANY adhesive or release agent, but thus far I am INCREDIBLY disappointed with this product.
I print a lot of Star Wars droids and props. I needed a bigger printer to piece droid domes in one shot. This thing is massive. I watched a YouTube video to help assemble it. Took a little over an hour and then another 20-30 for the enclosure I also bought. So far so good. I would recommend replacing the stock screen with something that runs KlipperScreen cause the stock one is trash. I also recommend setting up Demon Klipper Essentials Unified. Makes things super easy.
Always know you can trust West3d. Order arrived faster then if I ordered it from Solvol and it is the exact same part in the same exact package. Great job. Thanks West3d.
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.
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
