2. Caracteristici cheie
- Ultra-Quiet Stepper Driver: Designed for reduced heat dissipation and higher torque, contributing to quieter operation.
- Synchronized Dual Z System: Ensures consistent and parallel movement of the X-carriage relative to the build plate, even if one Z-stepper encounters an issue.
- Extruder cu acționare directă: Enhances reliability, particularly when printing with flexible filaments.
- AC Heating Platform: Provides rapid heating of the build plate. The lattice glass surface offers excellent adhesion when heated and allows for easy removal of prints once cooled.
- Protecție împotriva căderii de curent: Enables the printer to resume printing from the last recorded position after a power interruption.
- Senzor de deviere a filamentului: Automatically pauses printing and prompts for filament feeding when the material runs out.
- Ecran tactil complet: Provides clear instructions and intuitive control.

4. Configurare și asamblare
The Artillery Sidewinder X1 comes 95% pre-assembled. Follow the included Assembly Instruction Manual for detailed steps. Key assembly points include:
- Despachetarea: Scoateți cu grijă toate componentele din ambalaj.
- Instalare portal: Secure the gantry to the base unit. Ensure all connections are firm.
- Suport pentru filament: Attach the filament spool holder to the top of the gantry.
- Conexiuni prin cablu: Connect all necessary cables, paying attention to proper routing to avoid interference with moving parts.
- Conexiune de alimentare: Connect the power supply unit. Ensure the correct voltage (110V) is selected if applicable.
4.1 Nivelare inițială
Accurate bed leveling is crucial for successful prints. The Sidewinder X1 features large leveling knobs for easier adjustment.
- Heat the build plate to your typical printing temperature (e.g., 60°C for PLA) before leveling.
- Use the touch screen to move the nozzle to each corner and the center of the build plate.
- Adjust the leveling knobs until a piece of paper can slide with slight friction between the nozzle and the build plate.

5. Instrucțiuni de utilizare
5.1 Încărcarea filamentului
To load filament, gently press the extruder arm and insert the filament into the direct drive extruder until it catches. Use the touch screen controls to extrude a small amount of filament to ensure it is flowing correctly through the nozzle.
5.2 Printing from SD Card/USB Stick
The Sidewinder X1 supports printing directly from a TF Card or USB Stick.
- Prepare your 3D model using a slicing software (e.g., Cura, PrusaSlicer, Simplify3D) and save the G-code file to your TF Card or USB Stick.
- Insert the storage device into the designated slot on the printer.
- Navigate the full touch screen interface to select your desired G-code file and initiate the print.

6. Întreținere
Întreținerea regulată asigură performanța optimă și longevitatea imprimantei 3D.
- Curățați placa de construire: After each print, allow the build plate to cool completely before removing the print. Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue.
- Curățarea duzei: Periodically check the nozzle for clogs. Use the included needle or a brass brush to clean any filament buildup.
- Lubrifiere: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the Z-axis lead screws and smooth rods every few months or as needed.
- Tensiunea curelei: Ensure the X and Y axis belts are properly tensioned. They should be taut but not overly tight.
- Actualizări firmware: Verificați artileria oficială website for any available firmware updates to improve performance or add new features.
7. Depanare
Această secțiune abordează problemele frecvente pe care le-ați putea întâmpina.
7.1 Probleme comune de imprimare
- Aderență slabă a primului strat:
- Ensure the build plate is properly leveled.
- Verify the correct bed temperature for your filament type.
- Clean the build plate surface thoroughly.
- Filamentul nu se extrudează:
- Check for a clogged nozzle.
- Ensure the filament is loaded correctly and the extruder gear is gripping it.
- Verify the hotend temperature is appropriate for the filament.
- Schimbarea straturilor:
- Verificați tensiunea curelei pe axele X și Y.
- Asigurați-vă că imprimanta se află pe o suprafață stabilă.
- Reduce print speed if necessary.
7.2 Recuperarea după o pană de curent
The Sidewinder X1 features power failure recovery. If power is interrupted during a print, the printer will attempt to resume from the last position once power is restored.
