3. Hướng dẫn cài đặt

3.1 Lắp ráp

The Artillery Sidewinder X3 Plus comes largely pre-assembled. Follow these steps to complete the setup:

Figure 3.1: Simplified Assembly Steps

The image illustrates the main assembly steps: 1. Attach the gantry to the base. 2. Secure the gantry. 3. Install the diagonal tie rods for stability. 4. Mount the filament holder. 5. Connect the touchscreen. 6. Connect the power cable.

1. Cẩn thận lấy máy in và tất cả các bộ phận ra khỏi bao bì.
2. Attach the gantry (upper frame) to the base unit using the provided screws.
3. Connect the necessary cables between the gantry and the base, ensuring secure connections.
4. Install the diagonal tie rods to enhance structural stability during printing.
5. Mount the filament holder at the designated position.
6. Connect the 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen to the printer.
7. Ensure all screws are tightened and cables are properly routed and secured.

3.2 Khởi động ban đầu và giao diện

Once assembled, connect the power cable and turn on the printer. The 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for all printer functions.

3.3 Tự động cân bằng mặt bàn in

The Sidewinder X3 Plus features a 7x7 (49-point) automatic bed leveling system for precise first layer adhesion.

Figure 3.2: Smart Auto Leveling System

The printer uses a 49-point advanced virtual heightmap calculation to ensure accuracy across the entire print bed, simplifying the leveling process for users.

1. Navigate to the "Leveling" or "Auto-Level" option on the touchscreen.
2. Initiate the automatic leveling process. The printer will probe multiple points on the print bed to create a mesh.
3. Once completed, the printer is ready for printing. Minor Z-offset adjustments may be required for optimal first layer quality.

4. Hướng dẫn vận hành

4.1 Tải sợi

The printer is equipped with a Dual Gear Direct Drive Extruder for powerful and stable filament propulsion.

Figure 4.1: Dual-Gear Direct Extruder Mechanism

This extruder design ensures consistent and precise filament feeding, leading to smoother model surfaces and reliable printing.

1. Đặt cuộn dây tóc vào giá đỡ dây tóc.
2. Preheat the nozzle to the recommended temperature for your filament type (e.g., PLA: 200°C, ABS: 240°C).
3. Insert the filament into the extruder's intake hole until it is gripped by the gears.
4. On the touchscreen, select the "Load Filament" option. The extruder will pull the filament through until it exits the nozzle.
5. Once filament flows smoothly from the nozzle, loading is complete.

4.2 Bắt đầu in

The Sidewinder X3 Plus supports high-speed printing up to 300mm/s.

Figure 4.2: High-Speed Printing Capability

Achieve faster print times with the printer's optimized drivetrain and acceleration capabilities, significantly reducing project completion time.

1. Prepare your 3D model using a compatible slicing software (e.g., Cura, PrusaSlicer) and save it as a G-code file to a USB drive or SD card.
2. Insert the USB drive/SD card into the printer's designated slot.
3. On the touchscreen, navigate to "Print" and select your desired G-code file.
4. Confirm print settings and start the print. The printer will automatically preheat and begin printing.

4.3 Nozzle Auto-Cleaning

The printer features an auto-cleaning nozzle that supports printing up to 300°C, compatible with various filaments including PLA, TPU, PETG, ABS, and Nylon.

Figure 4.3: High-Temperature Auto-Cleaning Nozzle

The all-metal nozzle can reach temperatures up to 300°C, allowing for a wider range of filament materials. Its auto-cleaning function minimizes manual intervention.

The nozzle auto-cleaning function is integrated into the printer's startup routine or can be initiated manually via the touchscreen. This helps maintain optimal print quality by removing residual filament.

5. Bảo trì

5.1 Chăm sóc chung

• Keep the printer clean and free of dust and filament debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air.
• Thường xuyên kiểm tra độ chặt của tất cả các ốc vít và mối nối.
• Ensure the printer is placed on a stable, level surface. The metal diagonal tie rods contribute to stable printing by minimizing vibration.


Figure 5.1: Dual Z-axes and Dual Motors for Stability

The dual Z-axes and dual motors work in coordination to ensure stability and higher printing accuracy, reducing the need for frequent adjustments.

5.2 Print Platform Care

The PEI magnetic platform makes model removal easier.

Figure 5.2: Flexible PEI Magnetic Build Plate

The flexible PEI magnetic build plate allows for easy removal of printed models by simply bending the plate after it cools down.

• Clean the print surface with isopropyl alcohol before each print to ensure good adhesion.
• Avoid scratching the PEI surface with sharp tools.
• Allow the print bed to cool down before removing prints to prevent damage to the print or the surface.

5.3 Bảo trì máy đùn và vòi phun

• Periodically check the extruder gears for filament residue and clean as needed.
• If the nozzle becomes clogged, use the provided needle or a cold pull method to clear it. Refer to online resources for detailed instructions on cold pull.
• Ensure the hotend fan is clear of obstructions to prevent heat creep.
