## Artillery X4 Sidewinder Pro
Xavier is my Artillery Sidewinder X4 Pro. I purchased like-new from Artillery in April of 2025 for $100. I use it for straightforward, single-color PLA prints.
Although this model is listed as supported by SimplyPrint, the version of Klipper provided by Artillery doesn't support the SimplyPrint plugin. I had to bodge on OctoPrint instead. The change to [Tortillery](https://github.com/CiareCw455/Tortillery) has allowed me to use it as a standard Klipper printer in SimplyPrint with the Moonraker plugin.
### Current Mods
- Software:
- [Tortillery](https://github.com/CiareCw455/Tortillery)

- No planned upgrades.
### Current State
I configured the printer for PLA with a 0.4 mm nozzle. I'm running [Tortillery](https://github.com/CiareCw455/Tortillery) with a recent version of Klipper.
I plan to remove this printer from my fleet as soon as I get one of the Micron+ builds completed.
