The power supply is passive, but considering that it only powers the printer hardware and hotend, it’s more than enough.

Artillery Sidewinder X1 fast How to Install Klipper on a Artillery Sidewinder X1 fast

Make sure to use the correct belt clamp for your printer: the hole spacing for the Genius and the SWX1 parts are slightly different. For example, the ribbon cables loosen, the firmware is not optimized, and the frame vibrates at certain heights. For best results, clamp the drill guide on top of the aluminum carriage and a sacrificial wooden block underneath.

If you still use manual bed leveling you will need to carefully re-position the Z endstop so the nozzle stops just above the bed. The Artillery Sidewinder X1 is awesome and the firmware it comes with is properly configured, but unfortunately it uses an older variant of the Marlin firmware and it lacks some features.

The BMG Wind will be my go-to direct drive extruder upgrade for any printer in the future because of the reduced weight, compact design and improved performance compared to other setups. Still, for the money, the X1 is a no brainer, especially if you will later want to print with flexible filament. Compared to my Creality CR 10S Pro, the Artillery Sidewinder X1 took a lot less fiddling and i could focus on printing instead of fixing issues that should not be present. Most budget 3D printers these days use an aluminum V-slot extrusion / roller wheel motion constraint on each axis. If your main TFT cable is full of glue like mine, you can just remove this wire and continue with the firmware flashing.However, the assembly instructions are not really necessary, as only the filament roll holder and the assembly have to be screwed on.

Next, remove the M5 screws holding the front Y axis idler bracket to loosen the belt, and remove it from the extrusion. Read the full guide carefully and install BMG Wind on Sidewinder X1 only after you properly understood all the steps involved. You can now power up the printer and heat your hotend to 270C then do the final tightening of the nozzle. I just did on both my Genius and Sidewinder X1, and it turns out to be a pretty straightforward process. Not because the bed is hard to level (quite the contrary, the bed is rock solid) but because i am used to auto leveling and it makes my life a lot easier.The Sidewinder X2 resumes the printing process without any problems after a power failure and triggers an alarm if the filament runs out. Use two 20mm M3 screws to bolt the fan assembly on the mount and make sure the duct is not touching the head block. After further inspection I found out that the bi-metal heat break was leaking between the copper thread and the tube.
