Artillery Sidewinder X2 - FDM 3D printer

Artillery is a well-known manufacturer known for the quality of its FDM 3D printers. In addition, it has several models that are very affordable for non-professional users, giving them the opportunity to have certain advanced functionalities at an affordable price.

One of these 3D printers is the Artillery Sidewinder X2.

Stable structure

The design of the Artillery Sidewinder's dual Z-axis structure offers great stability to the printing equipment and contributes to better results and high print quality by reducing possible mismatches between layers.

High print volume

The Artillery Sidewinder X2 has a print volume of 300 x 300 x 400 mm, much larger than most home 3D printers on the market.

This large print volume allows the user to manufacture large parts.

Volcano Hotend

It is equipped with a Titan extruder for optimum filament traction. In addition, the Artillery Sidewinder X2 is equipped with a Volcano hotend.

This hotend was designed to optimise large print runs without any loss of finishing quality. With this hotend it is possible to use nozzles with a larger output diameter than with other hotends, and can even work with nozzles with an output diameter of 1.2 mm, although the standard nozzle is the standard size, 0.4 mm. Thanks to its structure and internal design, this type of hotend has a much higher volumetric flow rate than other hotends, which greatly increases the printing speed.

Automatic levelling

Artillery Sidewinder X2 has some features comparable to those of professional FDM 3D printers, such as automatic levelling. Without a doubt, this feature facilitates and minimises the previous steps to be performed before starting a print, reducing the print failure rate to a great extent.

This equipment has a tempered glass printing surface that improves the adhesion of the material and facilitates its removal once it has cooled.

In addition to all these features and functionalities, the Artillery Sidewinder X2 is very easy to use thanks to its touch screen and user-friendly interface, with which the user can control all the necessary parameters in the printing process.

To make the use of this equipment even easier, Artillery accompanies this 3D printer with a case containing different tools and spare parts that are very useful for the operation and maintenance of Sidewinder X2.

Undoubtedly, Artillery Sidewinder X2 is a versatile equipment very useful for users who need to print large parts at high speed.
