All things considered, 3D printers made by Artillery can be characterized as powerful and reliable machines that bring good value for their money. Featuring a maximum speed of 150 mm/s and wide material compatibility, this 3D printer can be used for the production of uniquely designed household items, props, toys, accessories, and hard-to-break prototypes.

After installing the 4 bottom screws connecting the gantry to the printer base, the printer is almost ready. The relatively unusual ribbon cables make for a very tidy image, but are also stable and should last a long time. The Artillery Genius can print with PLA, ABS, TPU, Wood, and flexible materials with a diameter of 1. In this article we will see if the Artillery Genius 3D printer can deliver the same quality prints as it’s bigger sibling. You can find the latest Marlin update here, along with configuration files for your printer and instructions for installing and changing the firmware.Connect the Artillery Genius to a power source and begin the calibration process by using its touchscreen.

After that, mount the filament spool holder on top of the frame and connect the filament runout sensor. After unboxing the Artillery Genius, you’ll need to complete the assembly and calibration before proceeding to the actual printing process. To assemble it, all you need to do here is put the archway on the base and screw in the four pre-attached screws. Artillery Genius Pro is the new version of probably the best known model of this manufacturer: Artillery Genius. Like other Artillery systems we’ve reviewed, the Sidewinder X2 lived in a small office next to our workstation printing away for months and was not a disruptive noise.While no disadvantage of the construction can be seen in the test, the question arises whether the large plastic part will also remain stable in the long run. Then you can upgrade this printer with the latest version of Marlin firmware, which includes input shaping - a feature that smooths out unwanted vibrations that can cause unsightly ringing and other imperfections in your print, thereby limiting your print speed.

Every 3D Printer purchase from 3D Printlife includes a free Intro to Digital Design online course from the New Collar Network.

Even if an object has a defect due to poor design or incorrect settings, 3D printing with the Artillery Genius Pro is not doomed to failure. To make the use of this equipment even easier, Artillery accompanies this 3D printer with a case containing different tools and spare parts that are very useful for the operation and maintenance of Genius Pro. It indeed has some flaws in its design, but nothing comes as too hard to fix since the machine is highly upgradeable. Thanks to its structure and internal design, this type of hotend has a much higher volumetric flow rate than other hotends, which greatly increases the printing speed. Nevertheless, make sure that all of the cables are connected and fixed in place before beginning the printing session.
