I was very happy to find that West stocks these motors in the 37mm shaft length that I needed. This removed the need for me to shorten longer shaft motors.
Exactly how you should expect it. Don't bother making your own cable, have it professionally made. Length is good, but if I had to nit pick at all I'd like it about 1 cm shorter so it can't push up the top hat to the v0.1 off of the machine. All connections are firm and stable as far as I can tell both by a visual check and the temperature values on my dashboard. If I ever build another printer I'll be looking here first.
Used 5 on my stealth changer works great.
This product has taken lots of abuse and kept working.
Good fan. I was expecting a plug. But, not a deal breaker.
Always fun to get random 3d printer-related items. I got something that I would have gotten anyways at another time.
It prints pretty well with stock settings that you can get on the spool's QR code. You will most likely need to tune to your exact printer. I have an Elegoo Centauri Carbon. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their impact on the environment by 3d printing items with plastic.
My only complaint is that the syringe doesn't come labeled, so I had to print my own so I don't pick it up and six months and go what is this? haha. But also very convient, greased my rails right up and off we go!
I've been ripped off by more linear rails than I care to admit, and this came clean and passed the white glove test(military thing if you aren't familiar) and greased right up and are smooth as butter! I can't wait to get my printer set back up with these after a catastrophic failure with fake hiwins blah
Upon completion of assembly of the printer I turned it on only to have an error for corrupted firmware. It had an option to reload the firmware so I reloaded the firmware and power cycled the printer as stated by the command prompts on The screen. While doing the calibration it immediately drove the nozzle into the build plate and gouged it. I immediately shut the machine off and raised the gantry. Then i set my phone up to record the 2nd attempt and it went through the calibration. I even go the extra mile of using a set of parallels from my milling machine to make sure the gantry is perfectly level on 1st startup of any printer I assemble or build. West3d told me to contact sovol, which i did. Their response was far from amusing, they pretty much said the damage to the build plate was acceptable and that I must have did something wrong. I've assembled over 50 printers as well as modded and built many more. In my honest opinion stay away from Sovol.
West3d has been great and does have the best customer service. And my review no way is towards any part of West3d just sovol.
Just started printing with it so we will see I gave it 5 based on the customer service I received.
These panels are so nice. They were shipped directly from the machine shop and arrived before the rest of my order from West3D. As noted in the description, they are cut to the Voron Trident DXFs, which are a little different than the LDO 300 Cube panels. I had to print some of the parts that are provided by LDO, but the different cutouts haven't caused any interference issues.
Makes a nicely wrapped umbilical for the Beacon and Nitehawk USB cables. It expanded enough to get the connectors through, but be sure to fuse the ends or the sleeve will fray as it expands.
I use GT3 belts on my voron 2.4 350. The higher tension is needed for these belts put extra strain on printed parts. I run (220-240hz) on Z. Also use corner brackets for the frame. I have a grey frame and purchased silver natural aluminum to match, looks excellent and performs excellent. THANKS VATALII
I have tried a few different idlers, mini BFI or BFI, and was never truly satisfied. These work great, look great and work just fine on my stealth changer with a door buffer. Not huge on flashy colors for voron so silver and black for me!
The blue-green color stayed consistently green on one side and blue on the other and had very little striping. The layer strength was really weak in small parts, so extra perimeters may be needed. Also, I don't know if it's a high altitude thing, but I'm not able to have tolerances smaller than 0.15 between moving parts.
Titanium anno is translucent grey with blue sparkles and it's amazing. It did have some stringing where it would make spider silk size strings, but that's my only complaint.
Works great, goes really fast, but I used to switch between my different filaments, mostly pla, petg, tpu, and pctg and at some point it clogged. Once it clogged I preformed at least a dozen cold pulls and have yet to successfully clear it. Replaced it with a diamondback for more versatility, but miss the higher speeds.
Got this to replace my Bambu A1 extruder. It fit perfectly and is working great.
The water cool version doesn’t come with the ptfe adaptor or plate. West 3d doesn’t sell the water cooled plus version which I didn’t know existed. Unfortunately to even install this with a Goliath you have to buy a heatbreak adaptor and a plate. West3d doesn’t sell these items. The only place I could get the parts from are in China. Now I have to wait 3 weeks for parts to arrive in order to use my newly purchased and expensive Goliath with my newly purchased older model hextrudort. The thing that bugs me the most is that the plus water cooled version is only a couple bucks more and I have to wait for the other parts anyways, I wish I had known. Maybe this review will spare others from having these problems.
Love this mod! The kit was great and came with everything I needed to assemble it. This was so much easier than trying to source all the parts individually (what I did for my Voron 2.4 build. Lesson learned...)
I tried multiple rails from Amazon for my Voron 2.4 build and the quality (or lack there of) was all over the place. I considered getting genuine Hiwin rails but couldn't find a supplier that had them at a reasonable price. After chatting with West3D on the Voron Discord, I decided to give these rails a try. A few years later and these rails are still going strong with no play!
