## 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) - [KAMP](https://github.com/kyleisah/Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging) - Hardware: none (stock) ### History - 2025-04-28: Printer arrived - 2025-05-08: Installed OctoPrint (via KIAUH) - 2025-06-14: Cleared an extruder jam (Artillery’s repair videos helped) - [Artillery repair videos (channel)](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCty24k7sI0dQMiLVssypKtg/videos) - [Artillery tutorial #1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9Nihv0KN9Y) - [Artillery tutorial #2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF0VNJ6wEsc) - [Artillery tutorial #3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljSG0wN6ViU) - 2025-06-20: Replaced the hotend after a heat creep clog - 2025-06-25: Extruder clogged again - 2025-07-09: Z-offset set too low → nozzle clogged - 2025-09-20: Cleared extruder clog; nozzle appears blocked - Next step is nozzle replacement or a cold pull - 2026-03-21 Replaced nozzle. It was completely blocked, and I couldn't initiate a cold pull. ### Planned Upgrades - 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. ### Build Log - 2025-04-28: Unboxed and inspected; verified cables/fasteners - 2025-05-08: Set up OctoPrint via KIAUH; confirmed network control - 2026-03-21: Moved this printer from the manufacturer's software to the community supported [Tortillery](https://github.com/CiareCw455/Tortillery) - 2026-03-21: Installed [KAMP](https://github.com/kyleisah/Klipper-Adaptive-Meshing-Purging) > [!note]- Colophon > ![[Printer Naming#Xavier]] ![[Discussions]]
