I was so impressed with the Silver Silk version of Sunlu’s PLA filament that I decided to add their Copper Silk PLA to my collection also. The end result is quite amazing with a beautifully vibrant shiny and eye-catching ‘glow’ to the cube that really did exceed my expectations. I can’t wait to print more […]

In this video we’re going to be printing the Artillery Test Cube on the Sidewinder X1 3D printer using Multicomp Pro Brown PLA filament. The test cube prints a little lighter than the filament appears on the reel. The end result is very good, consistent and accurate print which is what I have come to […]
In this video we’re going to be printing the Artillery Test Cube on the Sidewinder X1 3D printer using Multicomp Pro Peak Green PLA filament. The filament is quite vibrant on the reel but its quite another when it has printed. It’s almost a bright lime colour which is very eye-catching, vibrant and striking. Printed […]
In this video we’re going to be printing the Artillery Test Cube on the Sidewinder X1 3D printer using Multicomp Yellow PLA filament. The filament appears quite flat in colour on the reel but once printed the end result is a vibrant yellow colour which is bright and striking. Printed using the standard Artillery test […]
In this video we’re going to be printing the Artillery Test Cube on the Sidewinder X1 3D printer using Multicomp Blue PLA filament. The filament appears almost matt blue on the reel but after printing the test cube appears almost metallic blue and is really nice and striking. Printed using the standard Artillery test cube […]
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 this second test using the ‘Temperature Tower’ I have adjusted my model to improve the simplicity of the test and removed the overhang that was making the model unstable. There are three separate towers, one square, one round and one star-shaped with a number of cutouts to check the print accuracy at different temperatures. […]
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 […]
