When my QIDI Plus4 hotend went into meltdown from trying to print with wet PETG, ruining the entire hotend, an internet search sent me to West3D, where I could buy the heater and termistor replacement. Both Amazon and QIDI only stock the entire hot end. Since the metal parts are fine, it made little sense replacing everything. West3D came to the rescue.
This replacement unit did the trick. But there was a major problem - the cable is nearly 2 inches too short. You will struggle to install this. It was completely impossible to route the cable like the original, via a clip at the front of the printhead. Instead I had to re-route it on the right side under the filament cutter, and even then, it barely reached. Installed, it works flawlessly but installation was a real pain.
This thing is sturdy. I love it and it fits perfectly. Much stronger than any other plate I've used before.
Love west3d for the fast shipping and great selection of supplies.
I swapped these from the **** standoff method because it seemed to me I couldn’t achieve a very good bed mesh +\ - .300 with the swap and no other tweaking I achieved a bed mesh of +\ - .1 now, and I think I can improve it. I followed the recommended suggestion of removing some length from the screws to fit the micron, I used a pair of flush cutters and removed about 2-3MM off the end and they worked perfectly. 5 stars
The first one I got of these was not as great as I was expecting. I figured I simply got one that wasnt up to snuff and gave it a go again.
This time, its doing great! I am going to chalk up the first one to my usual luck (bad). And you cant beat getting stuff from West3D.
Definitely give this hot end a go.
If you are looking for a workhorse of a printer that you really don't need any upgrades for this is it. Add a small chamber heater and it eats petg and abs like candy!
Almost 500 hours this month with 2 machines , best investment in printing.
Why someone didn’t invent this before now I will never know. Kudos to those that did. And that name. Just wow! It fits so perfectly. Would definitely recommend.
Perfection! Everything was a described, great quality for an amazing price. Got things back up and running! And very much appreciate the stickers and best sweet treat in every order.
I was looking for some linear rails and I figured I'd give these a try even though they were a bit pricier than I originally wanted to spend. They exceeded my expectations and having the ability to lube them without breaking down the rails is perfect!
I needed a few screws for a ROOK 2020 build I was going and figured more is better and got this hardware kit. I'll have what I need for future products for sure and I'm glad to have a large assortment of hardware for a good price.
This little device solved my end of filament roll dilemmas. I don’t mind multicolored prints from multiple rolls, turned out some pretty cool prints, but just the nuance of having to manually switch or fill another roll. A QoL if you will. Printed a little jig to help with alignment and to free my hands. Good stuff.
This stuff is great.
I needed a filament with very high heat deflection temperature, but I was worried pure PC would be prone to warping.
This is my first experience with a CF filled filament and I was surprised just how dimensionally accurate and rigid it is.
Very easy to print, once you get all your settings dialed in.
Just make sure to clean off the nozzle tip before you start a new print. The leftover thread is so strong it can get tangled up in your first layer.
My favorite spot for anything to do with 3D printing! This magnetic base has already been a blessing to find, using it for a custom build plate im making, just hoping that the adhesive 3m makes keeps the magnetic from deforming from me printing tons of ABS/ASA
