When searching for the perfect desktop 3D printer, there are several factors to consider. Most 3D printing enthusiasts are likely looking for some combination of speed, precision, usability, and a plethora of features that enhance the overall 3D printing experience. The pro-sumer market has seen a steady flow of 3D printers that do one of those things better than the others, but rare is the machine that manages to check off all the boxes needed with an FDM machine.
Established in 2018, the 3D printer manufacturer Artillery believes that its new Sidewinder X4 Plus from Artillery is among these prestigious, well-balanced machines. Specializing in consumer 3D printers, the company has made strides with its Sidewinder portfolio – and is now taking its tech to the next level with its latest offering. The Sidewinder X4 Plus has a bevy of upgrades focused on speed, print quality, and more. Let’s take a look at Artillery’s latest 3D printer.
Artillery Sidewinder X4 Plus: Speed, Precision, and More
Artillery belives that its new Sidewinder X4 Plus, priced at $429.00, is not just a 3D printer but a next step in the printing revolution. Offering an expansive printing size of 300x300x400mm, this machine is designed for those who demand speed without sacrificing quality, reaching a fast 3D printing maximum of 500mm/s, thanks to its advanced Klipper Firmware.
With its all-metal linear rails and upgraded structure, the X4 Plus guarantees better stability and durability. The inclusion of carriage slides with ball bearings on both the X and Y axis enhances precision, mounting, and motion smoothness, ensuring outstanding build quality even at high speeds. This, combined with a larger build volume, unlocks greater potential for larger models or efficient batch printing.
The Sidewinder X4 Plus comes with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, pre-installed with Klipper Firmware, and is powered by a quiet motherboard with an ARM 64-bit 1.5 GHz main frequency quad-core processor, delivering a printing experience that is ten times faster, with speeds up to 500mm/s (default 300mm/s) and acceleration up to 10000mm/s², without any loss in quality. As pictured below, the Sidewinder X4 Plus can quickly extrude an incredible high-quality 3DBenchy in just over 15 minutes, providing a perfect combination of speed and precision.
Innovative features like Pressure Advance and Input Shaping are integrated to minimize printer vibration and shaking, thus maintaining excellent quality at high speeds across a wide range of supported materials. The printer’s all-metal dual gear direct drive extruder and 300°C all-metal hotend ensure accurate extrusion and the capability to print with strong materials like Nylon, ABS, Carbon Fiber, ASA, PC, etc.
The Sidewinder X4 Plus offers various convenient printing options, including USB drive, data-secure LAN, and a fast, stable WIFI connection for remote printing and monitoring. Its high precision inductive sensor and 121-point ABL system ensure a perfect first layer, while the resume printing function provides uninterrupted precision by restarting prints perfectly after a pause or power outage.
With 98% pre-assembly, the X4 Plus is incredibly user-friendly, requiring only five simple steps to set up. It supports a wide range of filaments, from PLA to TPU, PETG, ABS, and more, and comes with a dual-sided textured magnetic PEI plate for the build surface.
Specifications highlight its robust all-metal design, 1.75mm filament diameter, and dual support rods, along with auto clean nozzle feature, ensuring a smooth and efficient 3D printing experience. The printer also supports multiple languages, including English, German, and Chinese, and is compatible with Artillery Slicer and Cura software.
Choosing the Sidewinder X4 Plus not only means getting a high-quality 3D printer but also enjoying prestigious after-sales service, including 24/7 support, free shipping in the US and EU countries, a one-year warranty, and a 14-day return policy, ensuring a worry-free printing experience. Additionally, Artillery offers a 30-day replacement guarantee in the event any issues arrive with the 3D printer.
