Awesome video! One correction though: that “nasty coating” on the bed is the awesome stuff that makes it release prints. See the Design Prototype Test channel’s video on Bed Adhesion: ruclips.net/video/Yng0UfD9MyQ/видео.html It would be nice if the music were at the same volume the whole time, and not change when you talk. The reduced volume is loud enough to enjoy while you’re not talking. The volume change is jarring. Please keep up the great work! This is extremely high quality content! Thanks for putting it out!
It would be nice to see you do a video on tuning the slicer profile. Looks like you are printing way too fast, if you care about detail. If you’re happy with it, then that’s fine and all that counts.
Thanks dude, i got that feedback a few times now about the music between takes and i will adjust it in the upcoming content. Thanks for watching and the info!
This is a criminally underrated video for the X1. A ton of stuff covered in this video very clearly that I've otherwise needed to track down across all of youtube to get a full picture of myself
I plan to print a PC case.. i think ASA would be the best filament choice. Can the Artillery sidewinder x1 handle ASA? And in yes any Thing ich must consider? To be honest am still a noob on 3d printing the Artillery would be my first on printer
To be hones, i find myself a big noob with most stuff i do😅. I have a roll of asa and it will print it but not for long if you keep the ptfe heatbreak but you can change it for an all metal variant. The stock firmware supports temps to 270 if i remember correct. After that you might wanne use a closed case so you get a nice and hot buildvolume with no drafts of wind and a hot buildplate(the fumes are also quite toxic). Although asa is better then abs to print, it wil warp faster then Scotty if you fart at it from the room next to it for large prints.
Thanks! You get 1 spare for the x and z, i don't know where you live but in the usa fulament.com and for europe you got 3dplady but you can find them on aliexpres to if you look for sidewinder x1 ribbon cable. If you print the stress relief for the X your fine. If it should be that it breaks in short notice you can email support of artillery and they will send you a new one for free.
Thanks for the video. I'm curious what adjustments/changes you made to with your benchys? I have the same printer, and I've tweaked this and that, but my benchys still look more like your bad ones. A video on this would be good and very helpful. Thanks again
25mm max hey... yeah, that's why mine aren't looking as good as yours. I think I'm too impatient, I print everything in the 80 to 110mm range I would be very interested to see a video on the calibrations you did. I think mine still has room to improve, even without dropping the speed Thanks
There are people having z banding and inconsistent extrusion problems. Most of them are user error like to fast,to hot, no proper estep calibration,to much acceleration or printing high prints without a z brace and lose belts gears and stuff like that. Inconsisten extrusion is more caused by nozzles not touching the heatbreak and causing it to clog up in the heatblock like mine came from the factory or ptfe tube degradation. If you like there is a huge forum on facebook with a lot of helpful people but most quostion can be found true the search function. facebook.com/groups/artilleryswx1/?ref=share
@@NoizieWorks Yeah I had the nozzle-heatbreak gap as well. It wasn't noticeable in the beginning, but caused me a big headache, since it asserted itself with big ugly blobs when retracting. As for Z banding, this seems to be a common problem with Artillery printers, maybe caused by too much acceleration. This printer definitely has its problems from time to time and needs maintenance and adjustments every so often.
That's something i will adres in a next video but yes turning down acceleration and jerk fixes most z banding. Also people are obsessed by print speed and yes this printer is capable of high speeds for long and straight objects it's fine but i see them push 50 to 70mm/s with .12 layer figurine models wich is looking for problems imo 🤷♂️ like many vets say in the forums "90% of the problems are user error"
for some reason some idiot at the artillery factory thought it was a good idea to cover all the unused sockets of the board with hot glue. i spent hours trying to clean that board, of all the issues with this printer for me this was the biggest one and the most infuriating.
I don’t understand why you are fuxxxxg about with this printer. It comes perfectly functional. Stop trying to improve stuff that doesn’t need improving unless you are actually the developer ????????????
Hi Dean, this video is all about the unboxing, assembly and the things you should know before buying it so it's bone stock. You're right it's a solid printer for the money (if you stick witg petg and pla) but it's far from perfect if you look around in the community groups(don't have to trust me) Most upgrades are to improve functionality like being able to print abs or flexibels without having to change the ptfe liner every few days or using stuff like glue sticks and tape on the print bed and if it's not that then it's to protect the fragile ribbon and printbed cables. I didn't cover that in this vid sooooooo.............
@@NoizieWorks Personally I don't mind. Silence isn't good either. Finding a balance is an artform. My only complaint is how repetitive this particular track is. Tbh I think this kind of video needs a lot of sped up bits if you want to show as much as you can without cutting shit out and you need to fill the audio void with something or it'll honestly be more unsettling. Also take into consideration we are only two people and not an accurate sample of your community but thank you for listening and keep it up! Also good on you for checking the ribbon cable connectors for any flaws, most of the reviews I'm seeing on this one just go straight to pluggin that shit in despite a known possible error
Hey thanks for the comment, i think it's a tad to loud maybe between the takes so that's a thing i'm going to experiment with but i do agree that unless you talk through a hole video(not my style) it's kinda akward watching a silent vid. I have a few close peeps that give some feedback but it's important to listen to you the viewer if i wanne make it someday 😅
@@NoizieWorks Hell yeah man that's what I'm talkin about. You've got a hell of a lot of potential over here. Keep it up! The video quality, the shots, everything on the visual side is fucking on point. Audio is a tricky one so there will be growing pains :D
Hi! Let me know what you would like to see in a follow up video.
yes, more please

I print at around 25mm/s at .12layer if i go for quality prints but most of the time it's speed for practical stuff at around 45mm/s

Nice video even just for the clear footage of the print head coming apart and going back together.
Thank you for going part by part reassembling. Really helps me.
This is underrated
your beat playing at around 5:00 is nice. You could probably use this beat for future videos and it would be just perfect.
Thanks for the tip! Working on the cave now so you can expect new vids this summer
Looks like mine and the stock PTFE tube look a little to short as it can ride up.

Great video! Just a question: where do you get the ribbon cable? I really appreciate this info!!

Calibration and print slow. Last benchy is @25mm printspeed max. The overhang defects are cooling fan issues. That's something that can be upgraded.

I could do a speed vs quality test with and without calibration. Thanks for the idea! Now i need time 😅

I use cura, set the retraction to 0.6, smart seam and the inconsistent extrusion was gone.
Please share your phone case stl!! Nice
The case can be found on thingeverse note 9. Got it from there and slapped my design on it.
for some reason some idiot at the artillery factory thought it was a good idea to cover all the unused sockets of the board with hot glue. i spent hours trying to clean that board, of all the issues with this printer for me this was the biggest one and the most infuriating.
I can only imagine when you try to mod it 🙈 very frustrating.
dude they forgot all my fucking screws

Please stop these music implementations when you stop talking: this is really hard for the nerves. Without this elevator music your video is ok.
Thanks for the tip! Will work on that next time.
