These fit the bill better than the generic ones from amazon
An exact replacement. Fit and finish might even be better than stock. I do wish it came with the torx grub screws like the original instead of hex, but they work.
I was worried about calibration differences from the stock thermistor but I don't believe there are any. All profiles print great still. Fits perfectly and the perfect length.
Works perfectly and fit the heat block and plug fine. The harness is just a little long. Better than being too short but it makes tucking the wire in neatly a little harder.
works as advertised.
The sparkles in all of the colors I have bought are striking and reflective, especially the multi-color in the supernova black.
The cosmic shimmer color is also a must-try, it is slightly translucent which is hard to see in the product, photos, but it can be used to make some really cool effects when printed in thin sheets.
Like other Ambrosia I've used, I had to increase my extrusion multiplier just slightly on my Prusa MK3.5s w/ REVO. However, after that it prints flawless. Best price/performance filament and a great middle ground between Amazon-special filament and boutique american/european made filaments.
Amazing and economic upgrade for the Prusa MK3 series. Massive improvement over the V6 and the quick nozzle changes really make it easy to fine tune your printer for each job in basically seconds.
Note that while the MK3/S/+ has firmware that supports the 60W heater, the MK3.5/S does NOT. And only supports the 40W heatercore.
My only gripe is I wish we had the option to substitute the brass nozzles for obxidians with the 40mm heatcore set (for an upcharge of course). A small gripe and nothing to do with the product at all.
Titanium Anno and the Cool Pearl are some of the most beautiful and unique filaments that I have used. I can't wait to try the rest of the color lineup.
The color shifting properties creates some really cool effects when used with non-standard top layer patterns, and they look incredible when printed in thin-wall features, especially the pearl, which is ever so slightly translucent when printed in low wall counts.
Last but not least, the filament looks incredible in natural light/the sun.
Pictures really do not do this stuff justice, you won't be disappointed!
My only complaint about this PETG from west is the lack of colors compared to all of their other offerings. I would love to see more colors and translucent PETG (where PETG really shines IMHO).
That said, if the colors that are available fit your project, this is a great printing PETG and so far one of if not the best I have found in terms of price-performance.
I had to bump up my extrusion multipler slightly for my Prusa MK3.5S, just from 1 to 1.01.
Printed beautifully at 240C. Slow down external perimeters and top layers for best results!
These nozzles are a big step up from the standard brass nozzles, even if you don’t print any specialty filaments. The DLC coating is very non-stick compared to brass, and gives me a nicer surface finish and much less globbing!
I think these are the best nozzles for the REVO. The diamondback is surely a great nozzle, but you can get an entire four nozzle set of these ObXidian’s for the cost of a single DiamondBack…which makes the Diamondbacks a bit of a non-starter to me. These are definitely worth it over the brass nozzles though, in my opinion.
Even normal filament will gradually wear out brass, especially white hues!
Finally took the dive to see what others were talking about with the Beacon mod for the Plus 4. My only complaint is that I didn’t do it sooner! Great community help in support of both the hardware install and clear concise instructions for the software changes.
Best part is “It Just Works!”
Thanks to West 3d for the availability when no one else did and for a quick and seamless buying and shipping experience!
These are by far my favorite nozzle for the k2
Ambrosia ASA is hands down my favorite filament.
ASA beats out ABS for a number of reasons which is why I prefer it. PLA I use for prototypes.
Comes in a great selection of colors which all print cleanly and amazingly.
Shipping deal with Ambrosia is icing on the cake and West3D always ships fast. Even better if you live on the west coast. If only all online shops were like West3D.
Believe the hype. Ambrosia ASA is what you want.
I ordered this till over 2 years ago now after seeing it on a YouTube video. I'm happy to say it's still holding up great and still gets used every couple of months at least. I've left it in a hot car in the Mississippi summer while at work and never had any issues with it. So glad West3D used ABS to print it. What else can I say? It's a handy, durable little tool and well worth the cost if you build/maintain (you do do maintenence, right lol) your own 3d printers. Buy it!
Most everything I print is high temp, ie ABS, ABS-GF, ASA, ASA-CF, PA6-CF, and PPS-GF20 and this hotend is perfect for all of those materials. That last one i wasn't sure about but it prints PPS-GF20 beautifully at 325°c and man is that stuff strong and rigid! The silicone socks will degrade quicker at those temperatures though so be aware. I've only tried printing PLA, TPU, and PETG a couple of times each and had problems with clogging with all. That I can live with as I just use my other printer for those types. My biggest problem with the neXtg fiber is the lack of availability for replacement parts. I ordered this one not long after it was released and even then parts were hard to come by. I will say for anyone looking that rapido ceramic heating plates and pt1000 thermistors (the old threaded style) will work in this hotend, but that information isn't available anywhere I could find so I just had to take the gamble and luckily it paid off. Other parts like the heatbreak and silicone sock are proprietary and much harder to come by. They can be found but in my experience are hard to find and sell out quickly, I've even had to order some from other countries. I try to order a couple spares any time i can find them because with the way it looks not long from now they'll just be unavailable, which SUUUUUUCKS for $100 printer part that you expect to use for years on end. I have had it for a couple years now though and overall I'm really happy with it though. I just really wish retailers would stock spare parts for the items they sell, uhem West3D ahem. Please! All my dealings with West3D have always been positive regardless of that though.
Some may call it gaudy, I call it awesome! Keep in mind it's a very small pcb and some soldering will be required to wire it up. Other than that I just wish there was a config file linked somewhere on the page. It took quite a while modifying the standard rainbow barf config file to work, definitely worth it in the end though
I ordered 2 kg of galactic super blue to try out after Voxelab speed selling their sparkle blue ASA. I printed all my Voron's accent parts in said filament and went through a lot of it, nerds love to tinker lol. The photo shows multiple parts printed from each brands filament. I'm glad to say that now I can't visually tell which parts were printed in which brand do it was a dead on match for what I needed. And at a cheaper price! I highly recommend this asa (that's all I can speak to as of yet) you can't go wrong for the price and I'll definitely be buying more. The West3D rewards discount on Ambrosia filaments also helps tremendously.
Updated review after installation
I ordered this rail along with some mgn7 rails to upgrade the x and y rails on my Formbot v0.2 and couldn't be happier with them. If you need some linear rails I don't think you'll find a better option for the price. West3D always delivers what they said when they say they will. Have yet to have the necessity to evaluate their customer service.

Copy\pasted from rapido ceramic heater review as it's all the same situation.
I ordered this unsure if it would fit on the Phaetus\Dropeffect neXtg fiber hotend which (while being a GREAT hotend) has limited support for replacement parts. I'm happy to say it fit and has been working great for months now. Hoping others looking for parts see this review and it would be even better if West3D added it to the description. As always, no issues with ordering from West3D.

This filament prints very nicely on my bambu A1 and the price point is very appealing. Compared to other tpu brands, it breaks more easily along layer lines at the rated temperature.
If maximum durability isn't your numer 1 priority for tpu, I would recommend this filament.
Im running 4 galileo 2 extruders on my toolchanger, was running the g2 before it went toolchanger and then converted it to wristwatch g2. I print tpu through these all the time, just turn the preload back a turn or two. I like this extruder and will probably get one or two more.
