Is their a video on how to replace the stepping motors with the CLOSED LOOP stepping motors in order to fix the shifting skewing PROBLEM .. what do you recommend for this X-1 SIDEWINDER
It has been updated. Heatsink and covering plate are now one single piece. Also the heat break has no thread anymore and is now mounted with two grub screws from the side.
To answer my own question, you would have to diasemble the extruder pretty much completely since the backplate on the X1 and Genius are different, one has 3 holes, one has 4. Additionally the pegboard on the genius has 24 pins against 20 on the x1, Connnections for heat sensor etc. are the same and the board can be changed easily.
My idler arm wont fit back onto the bearings on the stepper motor. To be more clear, the idler arm fits fine but the heat sink wont fit back on. There are 2 bearings on the pancake stepper motor and it doesnt have as much of the shaft sticking out past the bearings. Its completely flush where it appears you have like an eigth or sixteenth of an in of the shaft still sticking out so it can rest inside the coupling on the back of the heat sink. Where am I going wrong??? Every other version has a separate heat sink.
Jeez, I need a vacation, it literally took me 12 hours of research and trial and error to realize the new idle arm I bought already had a bearing on it and it came off and I assumed it was, for some odd reason, the factory setup to have 2 bearings on the stepper motor output shaft. 3d printing derp 🤏🧠🤯 SMH.....This was however my first time taking it apart and this is the v4 version. I learned that. Every other version has a removable heat sink behind the fan. Anyways, thanks for the video. 😆
@@nomadautodidact THANK YOU for sharing this and saving what little sanity I have left. I was down a good two hours and wasn't on the right track at all to solving this. The plastic cover near the ribbon cable also gave me a headache.. the hex screws securing it were somehow 2.2mm so I had to file down a 2.5mm hex key to make it fit. Not exactly smooth sailing so far!
@@duivenzager Its always something like that. I wish America would switch to metric since we've gave all our manufacturing jobs away anyways. I'm always saying this at work (I'm a welder) and everyones like "its just fractions man, and I'm like metric is just sets of 10!!!
@@nomadautodidact Hey I know this comment is really old but I am having the same problem and would like some clarification. To clarify the correct setup is to have 2 bearings on the shaft with one of them slotting into the idler arm bearing hole. Thanks
if u over tighten the top two screws near that gear it wont move, my problem ive had is, how tight do they need to be coz now i dont get enough filament through my extruder
Save your money and get a better printer. I have two Artillery Sidewinder X2s and both are now broken. One still under warranty and wont level the build plate at all. Second one that was a decent performer will not power on anymore. Artillery support have been totally USELESS and non responsive.
Thank you so much 4 this video! It show`s perfectly the new version of artillery motors!
but you didn't take it all apart....didn't remove the hot end for replacement, etc.
Thanks for your suggestion, we will try to do the best in next video,
Thank you, this video can be helpful for X1 users!
You're welcome!

Mine has 4 short screws and 4 long ones and I forgot where they go
Would it be possible for you to do a video similar to this but for the sidewinder x2?
There are very few differences in this arena between X1 and X2. You will figure it out. I did.
Well this gives me some ideas on how I'm gonna fit the bmg aero on mine... thanks
The heatsink look different on this one than the one I got, why?

Very helpful video. Thanks.
I hate silent movies! I'm not sure why you're pointing at certain bits! 🤷
is X2 extruder compatible with X1?
In the video you it looks to me like you are using a Genius Extruder but in the title it says X1, are the two systems interchangeable?
Thats the X1 extruder with New cooling plate at the side
To answer my own question, you would have to diasemble the extruder pretty much completely since the backplate on the X1 and Genius are different, one has 3 holes, one has 4.

@@janreinertz2775 Where can i get the new X1 extruder modell?
@@MultiSizeONE in germany at 3dplady but i dont know where you can get it in other countries
Great!
A very useful video, please more and thanks!
thanks, thats help me so much
A video they needed to place on here to help you fix their Engineering and cost cutting deficits---BOOOO!!

You didn't disassemble anything. You took of the top and put it back on. What about the rest of it?
Thank you
Super useful, thanks!
Spacer block goes on top of not under circuit board! Otherwise good video.
very helpful, even though a different camera angle would have been better.
So I must have screwed this up because now my extruder gear won't move
if u over tighten the top two screws near that gear it wont move, my problem ive had is, how tight do they need to be coz now i dont get enough filament through my extruder
Dude switch to decaf! Makes hands less Shakey !!!!
