In my previous ‘Overhang Test’ on the Artillery Sidewinder X1 I noticed the print was ‘stringy’. I tried adding retraction and this didn’t work so I wondered if this was something to do with print temperature and the best way of checking this is to come up with another test. In this video I create […]

In this test I wanted to check how much of an angle of overhang I could print successfully on my Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D printer. I have produced my own model specifically to test the overhang and created it in Blender. The first part of the video shows how I construct the 3D model and […]
I already have light grey and black filament so I wanted something in between, something like a mid to dark grey. I’ve been impressed with ICE Filaments colours so far and opted for the ICE Filaments ‘Gentle Grey’ PLA filament. I am very impressed with the colour and I am impressed with the print quality […]
I’ve just added the Verbatim Transparent PLA filament to my collection and as with each new filament I buy, I am printing an Artillery test cube as a test using the exact same model on the exact same Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D printer so I can assess how it will print with the same settings […]
I am increasing my collection of 3D printing filament and with each reel I buy I am printing a test cube. This allows me to test for printing consistency with the same model on the same printer, and also enables me to see how the filament comes out when printing a a 3D object. In […]
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
