Using a filament cleaner can help ensure that dirt, debris, dust and fluff doesn’t easily get into the print head via the filament feed. This works by clasping around the filament and any dirt is removed by the sponge inside it. In this video we look at the original model and how the very clever […]

In this video we’re printing an Artillery Sidewinder X1 test cube using ICE filaments Daring Darkgreen filament. Printed using the standard test cube off the original Artillery memory stick with default printer settings. A nice shade of mid to dark green PLA filament. I am very impressed with the colour and I am impressed with […]
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 bought the ICE Filaments ‘Obstinate Orange’ because I have other filaments by ICE and I liked the vibrancy of the colour and I had a very specific project in mind – our logo. In this video I show how I created the 3D object in Blender, used boolean modifiers to cut out the text […]
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 […]
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 […]
