As I continue my journey with the Artillery Sidewinder X1 printer I am buying additional filament and the best way I find to test the filament and see how it will come out is by printing an Artillery test cube. This way I have other filaments to compare against, and by using the same printer […]
Whilst ordering filament for my brand new Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D printer I became aware of flexible TPU which sounded like a novel and fun idea. The filament I chose was transparent. I have no idea what type of models I will print using this particular filament but I thought it would be an interesting […]
Printing the Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D Printer test cube with black filament. Carried out as part of my consistency testing with the Sidewinder X1 using the same model with the same cube.gcode file with the same printer, but with different colours and brands of filament to check the results. Black PLA 3D printer filament 1.75mm […]
I’ve just bought some white filament for the Artillery Sidewinder X1 printer and my intention is to print another test cube so I can see how it comes out. This is by way of a printing consistency test but also to see how the same model from the same .gcode file on the same printer […]
In this video I learn from the mistakes of my previous disastrous cone (bug or creature?) and increase the bed heat to 80 degrees for better adhesion and enable the fan at 125 for improved cooling. The result is better, not perfect, but better. Thank you for watching. Rob @ 3DModUK
In this video I attempt to print the simple cone model that I created in Blender in a previous video. The aim is to start with very simple 3D printed models and as I learn how the 3D printer works slowly progress onto more sophisticated models. Needless to say, this doesn’t go as I had […]
After unboxing and assembling the Artillery Sidewinder X1 I am now ready to load the filament and produce my first 3D print, not only with the Sidewinder X1 but any 3D printer – ever! I print the test cube (cube.gcode) which is supplied on the memory stick by Artillery with the Sidewinder X1. Thank you […]
In this video I assemble the Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D Printer. The idea of my journey into 3D printing is to document my experiences, both good and bad and that explains why this video is over an hour in length. What did I learn? 1) That the most recent Sidewinder X1 3D printers seem to […]
Did you realise the box for the Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D printer is 18kg? No, neither did I until it arrived and I needed to lift it. It is an incredibly sturdy machine and reassuringly it is very well packed as well to protect the intricate mechanics during transit. In this video I unbox the […]
