Artillery Sidewinder X2 Extruder Kit Replacement Artillery Genius Pro Extrusion Kit for Sidewinder X2 and Genius Pro 3D Printer

Worked as it should, I believe it solved some of my issues I was having. Fast delivery.

Every 3-D printer owner dreads the day where they need to replace parts, though the ease of this order made my struggles a bit easier! The extruder came in great condition and with the help of some YouTube videos, I easily put it on my machine and it was up and running in no time!

I got the "heating failed, system stopped! heater_id: 0" error. My printer bed was heating properly but the extruder wasn't. I tried different methods of troubleshooting as posted in reddit, but none worked. Getting this unit was an easy replacement, can be done in less 2 minutes, and it worked properly.One thing to note this that once this unit is installed, the nozzle is about a millimeter higher than the original extruder, so I had to adjust and re-level the printer bed. Not a big deal. Been printing again without issues.

Swap the entire unit with just three screws and plugging in the ribbon cable. Works perfectly on my Artillery X2.

Broke after 2 uses. The heat wires melted to the plastic frame.

If you have an aging SWX1 12 inch printer..... this is probably a wise purchase. As others have said. Out of the box these are not great – – they still need to be gone through converted to all metal hot ends and several other upgrades (better e3D pressure lever and drive gear recommended). Nonetheless, because of the rather proprietary design that these artillery units have it really is very handy to have a spare extruder unit to go on while another is down. Even if you threw one of these on stock – – you'll probably get more than a year of good service (before rebuild) out of it if you take care of it – – (and if you don't put a lot of hours on it and you also don't print high heat or high speed.) The SWX1 -- circa 2019 – – is looking like it might be one of the last easy to work on roller-based printers. Things are getting complicated with all of the super machines coming out. I appreciate an old-school machine that is easy to level by hand. It's really great that this is available -- to keep these going a few more years!

bolt-in replacement. my printer now actually has better performance than it did when new. The extruder tip itself is a bit shorter than original. This necessitated raising my bed quite a bit, but no bother: way better prints

Extruder shipped fast, strong packaging, great quality part, has been running perfectly 24/7 practically since I got it.
