It's great.

Printed the HSW_moreeasy_Plug-empty V4
If anything, this felt more difficult to get in than the original one, I don't recommend PLA as the tabs are really stiff, PETG would probably work a lot better.

I can confirm though that it was easy to extract this one with a HSW extractor tool. Also, the parts I insert into it are easier to pull out than the original.

Printed out of PLA, 0.25mm Structural profile, 3 perimeters, MK4S w/ 0.4mm HF nozzle.

A game changer especially if you printer it's not exactly perfect.. :D
Thanks!

I made the mistake of printing my HSW baseplates at a scale of 100% on my Ender 3v2. The stock inserts wouldn't fit without the use of a file and a hammer. These inserts are a perfect fit for me. They pop in and out easily with gentle manipulation of a flathead screwdriver, but aren't wobbly or loose. (edited)

Good fit and well designed. I just rotated the design one edge so the tabs were a bit stronger and not on a layer line.

@missile150 thank you, nice color ! :-) (edited)

Hey, don't mind me. I'm just walking around the site, telling people that it's the "Honeycomb Storage Wall" - "HSW", not "HCW" It might help people to find this :-)

@Balu tx, nice hint - forgot to update my tags ;-)

Wished the surface pattern to be kept.

@fawkeswei which surface? The surface depends on your bed-plate. Or did i missunderstand you?

@PeterJordan_787310 The original inserts has an hexagon inset.
