I've bought from OOD before, so when I saw the kit here, and I was placing an order anyway I added this kit on. As expected, the kit is amazing. All parts are machined well and fit as expected. I printed in ABS and it all fit just fine.
I will say I was excited to see the partnership between my go to printer store and Out Of Darts. Both are great stores whose staff goes above and beyond to help with questions or issues. Never had a bad experience at either place.
When building my 2.4 I opted for this upgrade from the start. Looking at the BOM for the original it didn't make sense to NOT have a single panel in the front if I could avoid it. The kit is well documented and all the parts were machined well. I've had this thing on and off multiple times and every time I need to do anything with it, it is amazing how something so simple can make life so much easier.
I will echo others here, when putting it together make sure of the pin orientation, put the rounded sides UP when assembling. I made the mistake of not doing so and putting the door back on after removal was difficult. I eneded up pulling and putting them in the right way and since then I haven't had any issues.
One thing I did have to do was adjust my annex panel clips for the hinges and handle but it's well worth it.
When building my 2.4 I was trying to remove as much complexity as possible since it was my first time. Using sound apps may work for some but I have never quite had the knack of mastering it. Rather than hoping it's right or close I decided to spend the money and get this tool. Not having a printer I opted for the printed version. Shipped quickly the tool itself is well finished and works well. After getting to the tuning stage belt tensioning took me less time than putting the panels on. Well worth the price, as now I can check and retention as needed without any hassle. Having this actually makes me more likely to perform preventive maintenance on the machine as well since I know I don't have to fuss with anything.
I've used these on 2 printers so far, the volcano worked great. Since building my Voron I've switched to the normal sized nozzle and it's been running like a champ. I've printed everything with it, no exotics but it handles PLA, ABS, PETG, Silks, Glow in the Dark and wood without any problems. No wear and holds heat like my original brass nozzles. A PID tune after swapping to it and barring anything disastrous you never need to change for anything than preference. Great product and well worth the money. I purchased the .4 and .6 for the larger itmes.
I bought a CNA rail directly from the store on Aliexpress, and realized I bough c instead of h. Besides that, it was so crunchy. It'd get caught every few inches and skip and vibrate. So I returned it and bought of one these for my Hex-Zero. SOO much better. Butter smooth, no slop. great rails
Printed some parts for my V2 build. Looks good and seems solid.
I bought this for my 2.4 and love it. At the same time, I switched to CNC tap, purchased titanium fastners for the whole gantry, CNC A/B and upgraded to tool-less tensioners. I can't say that the improvement in printing from resonance becoming lower was all due to the beam, but it is very light, beautiful and is now in the cart for the Trident build I am doing.
I can't say much on these other than they are din rails cut to the correct length. Seem to be decent quality steel rails, cut to length and deburred.
So first, whoever prints this, kudos. Your stuff is dialed in. Second, very useful for voron setup and tuning. Turns out I was over tightening my belts. I suspect you are too, if you are using frequency and your phone. Paraphrasing Amex, don't print without it.
This is now my go to build sheet. Adhesion, at lease with magigoo seems perfect. The black sheet looks sweet. The only negative is depending on color, it's sometimes hard to see the first layer in a webcam view.
Ok, if you are considering doing the Click-Clack Fridge Door Kit upgrade, do it. It’s one of my favorite all time Voron mods. When setup right, it’s nothing but awesome. Build isn’t difficult. The only issue I had was stability of the main handle as they kind of curved the edge on the post side. This tends to make that side not stick and not print 100%. I just used organic supports and some bed adhesive and it printed well.
Really nice quality thick vinyl stickers. Will decorate the 2.4 and workbench very well.
Beautiful colors. Really love the super blue. Prints great. Will definitely be buying more soon.
Product is as described and fast shipping. Packaging was good and product arrived without any damage.
So I did this. It made my evening. Yup, cool goodies inside. Can I use them, absolutely. Worth the money, absolutely. will I do it again, absoulutely. Leave it to the gang at West3D to come up with something fun. Thanks gang!
So I get to make a cool tool to solve a measurement issue on my Voron. What's wrong with this picture....NOTHING! Score! What a cool project and now I have something that I can accurately check my machine with that I feel is easier and probably more accurate than the ole tuning fork method.
This was a purchase that keeps getting in my face and makes me smile every time. Getting in and out of my Voron is sooooo much simpler and clean. An obtw ...it SEALS very well so warmup is shortened. Operation is silky smooth. Just seconds to remove for PLC printing. I f*kin' LOVE It! Thank you West3D. You run a company like everyone else should.
Rebuilt my printer. The excess grease caused the original nut holders to crack and fall apart, so I decided to snag these. Totally worth it, no more fiddling with annoying tiny buts
Purchased the Ajax 3D td-1 for scanning filament to get accurate TD for hughforge. I have purchased a couple different times from West 3D and have always had a good experience not to mention they have Great customer service
Mean Well 5V power supply is a solid option for your build.
The BIQU 42HDB4036Z-24B stepper motors are a cost-effective option, providing reliable performance at an affordable price. Durable and dependable, they deliver great value for budget-conscious users.
Kit went together as it should. I had made an error on my order and West3d supported me beyond my expectations. Great experience!
I've noticed an improvement in print quality with this, definitely provides better cooling.
Replaced my factory original gears with this, performed flawlessly and getting even better prints with it.
Fun to make. Works great. Thanks!
