Product Information

The slower the printing speed, the better the result. However, this will make printing take longer. The faster the print head moves, the less accurate it will be and printing errors may occur due to vibration. It is therefore important to find the right balance between too fast and too slow.

The Sidewinder X2 has a PTFE-lined Volcano hotend. This is not really bad and is very common among 3D printers. However, the maximum temperature is limited to about 240 °C, otherwise the PTFE would melt. For most standard filaments this is sufficient. Other than that, the extruder doesn’t have other significant changes. It’s the same Titan Aero clone adaptation, which uses a 3-to-1 gear ratio and a pancake stepper motor. PTFE lined Volcano hotend The new Sidewinder X2 is a direct upgrade to the original, borrowing its design and incorporating all of its best qualities while adding more modern features.

Customer Reviews

Artillery managed to get a reputation in the 3D printing space because they offered a much different machine compared to their competitors. It’s one of the first companies who used larger aluminum extrusions for the printer to make it more stable. It’s also one of the first to use ribbon cables to connect the electronics in a neat way to keep the machine looking great. And finally, it’s probably the only company who uses AC heated beds on their 3D printers. When calibrating, make sure that you only adjust one retraction value at a time and observe the result. If you change the retraction distance and the speed at the same time, you do not know which change is responsible for the result. Conclusion

Touchscreen: The operation of the Bluer Plus is simpler and more intuitive than that of the Sidewinder X2. The touchscreen is larger and the menu is simpler. You can find the most important settings faster and the menu structure is not as confusing. Bluer Plus Extruder & Filament Sensor

Another peculiarity of PETG is that it adheres extremely well to glass. And by “extremely” I mean that sometimes the adhesion is too high and you can’t get the object off the glass print bed without damaging it.
