I finally got a chance to tinker with this west3D toaster, and overall I’m pretty happy with it. Temps appear to be accurate and it’s easy to use. I bought a microwave rack for it to sit on since it front loads and my printer bench is a fucking disaster 110% of the time haha. My only gripes with it are that it has a relay in it that is loud as shit, so be ready to listen to it click all day if you’ve got it parked in a space you occupy frequently. It also retains the end of cycle beep from its toaster origins, which I don’t really prefer since I can hear it from my bedroom upstairs. I’m not sure if that can be disabled or if I’m gonna have to attack the little piezo with a screwdriver. It draws about 6.5A at peak load, which is a little sketchy for how much load this house already has on that 15A circuit. I may end up moving it to the basement and using it only to dry/anneal higher end materials, and just printing out of my little creality dryer. Prob gonna wait for the breaker to tell me I need to do that though lol |
The hardest part about a zombie apocalypse will be pretending I'm not excited.
