Testing ICE Obstinate Orange filament on Artillery Sidewinder X1

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 […]

Printing Flexible TPU on the Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D 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 […]

White Test Cube + Loading and Unloading Filament

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 […]

3D printed cone attempt number two

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

Printing a simple cone shape with the Artillery Sidewinder X1

In this video I attempt to print the simple cone model that I created in Blender in a previous video. The aim is to start with very simple 3D printed models and as I learn how the 3D printer works slowly progress onto more sophisticated models. Needless to say, this doesn’t go as I had […]

Creating a simple cone shape with Blender and exporting for 3D printing

Although I can’t wait to start printing more complicated and sophisticated 3D models, it is my intention to start small with simple shapes and models so that I can get to better understand the Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D printer and how it works. I am as new to Blender as I am to the 3D […]

My first EVER 3D print with the Sidewinder X1 3D Printer

After unboxing and assembling the Artillery Sidewinder X1 I am now ready to load the filament and produce my first 3D print, not only with the Sidewinder X1 but any 3D printer – ever! I print the test cube (cube.gcode) which is supplied on the memory stick by Artillery with the Sidewinder X1. Thank you […]
