This is my fourth attempt at what I considered to be a fantastic little ‘torture test’ for the Artillery Sidewinder X1 printer. I realised I couldn’t solve this on my own so I sought help from a group on Facebook. Others kindly suggested different print settings and especially on the subject of retraction. I applied […]

In this third test using the ‘Temperature Tower’ I have adjusted the print settings in Cura which should reduce the stringing. I looked specifically at the retraction settings so that the print head could retract filament prior to moving between each of the upright towers. I followed the same pre-printing process as before: I imported […]
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 […]
