I know this because after around 50 hours of printing, the flexible cable from my printer started to smoke, and thermal runaway protection stopped my printer. 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. With the same profile, i printed the MatterHackers’ Mascot Phil A Ment Devil Design Pink TPU, 205C, 0. The Sidewinder X1 promises both print quality and improved ease of use from previous generations offered by the Creality brand. I really like this design because it makes the whole printer look a lot better eliminating the need for wire management.

cANNOT get much out of this for myself, but itsalways a pleasure for me to read through your threads. I was thinking about adding the BLtouch but I haven’t needed to yet, and it’s something that I can always just do, so it hasn’t come up yet. There’s mismatched connectors all over the place, locking plug into non-locking sockets, single “Dupont” style female connectors into header with pins that I know are too short to make proper contact, and it’s all held together with hot glue. However, since then, several new brands have emerged, bringing competition to the affordable 3D printer market. In this article, we are going to review the Artillery Sidewinder X1 — a budget-friendly desktop FDM 3D printer with quite an impressive build volume, sturdy build, and a number of other noteworthy features that will be reviewed throughout the article.The main printer base where all the electronics are housed and the X and Z gantry that holds the extruder. However, we feel that the additional weight is a worthy tradeoff for its increased rigidity and increased print quality.

Unlike a lot of DIY 3D printers on the market this printer is already assembled and only requires a couple of screws installed to hold the main rail assembly to the base.Many of the parts and components found on the Artillery Sidewinder X1 are replaceable, including the hotend, extruder, control board, motors and motion system.
