Description
There should be no other Salad Fork like YOUR Salad Fork, so stop buying a kit to build someone else's miniature trident. Welcome to West3D's signature Configurator for the Salad Fork v1.1 (180mm).
This is offered as a pre-sale, expect a pre-shipment notification in about 2-3 weeks following your order. This initial release should also be considered beta, if there are any issues we ask you to reach out to us so we can fix them! We have done our best to provide the most complete kit around.
Due to the nature of configurators we may discuss potential alternatives to get your kit out faster
ONLY AT WEST3D - We are giving you a free name plate for every kit you get serial'd!
What is a Configurator?
The only way to really make your printer is to either:
1. Buy a kit, and replace a bunch of parts you didn't like (quality, type, performance). This is costly, and you end up with a bunch of waste, and a hodgepodge of items you may or may not need to get your printer working.
2. Self-Source, this route is tried and true, but it's a pain in the butt - and expensive.
With West3D's signature configurator get rid of all that messy sourcing work, we've done it for you, here is our version of the 'easy button'. We've put together what we feel is the best quality and most complete base kit on the market by some distance (see BOM below) and left the benefits of self-sourcing intact so you can make the Salad Fork that is the best fit for you. This configurator gives you the benefit of a large order discount, saves you sourcing 'screen-time', all with the benefit of working with a US based source who can provide prompt support.
Unlike other Salad Fork Kits, this comes with a custom designed wiring harness we put together and tested (please let us know if you recommend any changes!), a Raspberry Pi, Hot End, Electronics - everything really except for printed parts and tools you need to build your kit. (Note, still this is a configurator, there is a possibility you may need additional fasteners, wire etc. if you deviate too far from the chosen path).
To be successful at building a Salad Fork V1.1 180 using this configurator you will require working knowledge of 3D Printers, electronics, wiring/crimping, coding and have patience (amongst we're sure other things.)
If there are configurations you'd like to see added please let us know (info@west3d.com).
We are stocking up on products to provide a steady supply, this is currently offered as Pre-sale. We are waiting on custom designed edge to edge heaters, but besides that our kits are ready to ship. Based on your selection it is possible we will not have all products available in warehouse and will be waiting on shipment before your order can ship out. If this occurs we will reach out approximately 1 week following your order to inform you.
When we are NOT in Pre-sale, this item is expected to ship in about 1 week after the order is placed. For Pre-Sales, we ask you to please expect roughly 4 weeks for shipment, though this is not a guarantee. Pre-sales are refundable up until the date of shipment less a 3.5% transaction fee (the approximate cost we incur). Configurator orders are not eligible for additional promotional offers.
We will be posting the full BOM here before the end of April.
