Artillery Sidewinder x1 3D Printer, Multi-function 3D Printer the latest 4th Version Artillery 3D Printer with Aluminum Extrusion Frame & AC Build Plate 3D Printer (300 x 300 x 400 mm)

Product Information

A direct drive extruder offers many advantages over Bowden extruders, including more precise filament control and the ability to print flexible filaments like TPU reliably and quickly. Assembling the printer requires 4 bolts to be inserted from the bottom assembly into the top assembly and connect the various cables to the motors, end stops and filament runout sensor.

We were disappointed that Artillery did not include this cable relief bracket to help mitigate the risks of cable snaps. In the range of 3D printers with a print area of 300x300x400mm at less than 400€, this Artillery X1 is one of the most popular machines today, especially for those who are looking for a (rarer) direct drive machine for printing TPU type filament. This is a great usability improvement since users do not need to use build adhesives like glue sticks or hairspray for prints to stick reliably to the bed. Once your tray is set up, it is also advisable to print the sample template on the USB key supplied with the printer. What someone is saying is the 3D printer ran out of filament (due to running out of filament breaking) but the printer continued to perform the printing job.If we look at the electronics, it’s an 8-bit MKS GEN L mainboard, coupled with a 32-bit controller for the touchscreen.

Flexible beds on affordable 3D printers tend to be placed on warped aluminum heated beds which is bad for print adhesion. There is a bit more curling visible than I’d like and on prints where you can see it, it looks like either the filament pulling up on the toolhead, the motion system having some inaccuracies or the spool mount up that likes to wobble the entire frame is still causing some imperfections. I remembered that a PID Tuning needs to be done for each new printer, so i did just that, and started the next print. The Artillery Sidewinder X1 can be successfully used for rapid prototyping, creation of props, accessories, figurines, household items, and much more.I did not have any issues assembling it right out of the box and I think I had the test print going within an hour or so of opening it. To test the FDM printer’s ability to resolve details, we printed several detailed models, including the standard test model Benchy, a Mandolorian figure and a calibration cube. I initially had a problem getting the part to adhere to the base (not uncommon) but as soon as I started using decorators tape (I am using FrogTape) that disappeared- now sticks firmly. The extra chasis stability offered by this design contributes to a superior finish on your prints, but you do need to ensure everything is adjusted correctly when first setting it up.
