Status: working [box doku]

Artillery-Sidewinder-X2.jpg
Description Artillery Sidewinder X2
Owner  MuMaLab
Financing  Bought from official Vendor (€412)
Build Volume  300 x 300 x 400 mm (11.8 x 11.8 x 15.7 in)
Nozzle  0.4 mm stainless steel


In addition to the two Prusa Minis which are our main 3d Printers at the lab we now have a Sidewinder X2 for larger print jobs.

  • Please bring your own filament and only use plain PLA. If you would like to print materials other then PLA please write in the #3d_printing channel on slack. Additives like wood or carbon wear out the nozzles extremely quickly.
  • The printer is open to experieced user. Please ask on #3d_printing slack channel before usage if you are not familiar with the machine.

Details

  • UBL mesh bed leveling enabled
  • Printable via USB Stick and micro SD card
  • Material: plain 1.75mm PLA normally

Quickstart guide

If you haven't used the printer but already visited one of the monthly 3D printing intro course, please for now contact @yichen zhang on slack for a 15 - 30 min quick introduction to the machine.

  • Please visually inspect the printer for visible damage before usage.
    • If damage is been found please contact @yichen zhang on slack. Thank you.
  • Download PrusaSlicer
  • Please use the official Artillery Sidewinder X1 presets for the Sidewinder X2
    • Add "Artillery" in the "Other Vendors" tab
    • Add the "Artillery Sidewinder X1" on the "Artillery FFF" tab
    • Select "Artillery Sidewinder X1 BL-TOUCH" as your printer
  • Slice your 3D Object as normal
  • Get the USB stick that's on the printer and export your sliced model onto it.
  • Power up the machine via the power switch on the backside of the machine.
  • Preheat the nozzle via the load/unload menu of the machine (210°C Recommended)
  • Insert your filament through the filament runout sensor and into the extruder.
    • Then use the load filament function from the machine to load and purge the filament.
  • Check that no particle is trapped between the magnetic sticker and magnetic PEI Sheet as we are using stored mesh bed leveling data (because mesh bed leveling takes a long time for a machine this size, if you want to ensure perfect quality feel free to redo the mesh bed leveling for your specific print.)
  • Clean the magnetic PEI sheet with IPA
  • Verify that you're about to start the right print via the filename the start your print.
  • Please at least wait for the first layer to be printed and verify its quality.
  • Please check the print regularly during printing. Please don't leave the Lab while printing. Thank you.
  • After printing, preheat and use the unload filament function to unload your filament. Please home the machine before shutting it down.
