Artillery X3plus review + Nozzle swap (and hotend repair)

Got the Artillery X3plus late december, was excited for the large print bed but couldnt share my review - since it wasn't clear if Geekbuying will sell them again (doesn't look like they do). Other speculations online tell us about support being dropped worldwide - and only available thru china. I opened a ticke when I broke my hotend (during an attempt to change the nozzle). Never got a reply...
📋 Specs, NOTES and findings:
- Large: 300x300x400mm
- fast (up to 300mm/sek)
- 300°C hotend 0.4mm Nozzle (found replacement for 0.6 or 0.8 as an upgrade!)
- fast 49pt. Auto Bedlevelling (but still oldschool manual leveling necc)
it has 6 wheels to adjust the bed!
the Auto bedlevel isnt 100% effective on the first layer
- Z offset -2.10
- PEI bed, large ;)
- dual z axis / dual motor
- Product Size(L x W x H): 500*410*850mm
- Linear advance, input shaper marlin 2.1.2
- Artillery X2 and X3 are DIFFERENT! (if you shop for replacement parts)
Many parts are cloned from var. sources ;)
- Hotend: like Bambu! (but different holes on the heatsink!! at least the thermistor and heating element fit!
- Printhead cover looks like ANKER ;)
- Removeable Screen idea from Elegoo?

Nozzle: Bambu CHTs don't work! (too short)
✅ The longer Volcanoe are the right ones here: and cost only 2€ ;)

[@blackmennewstyle]

Got my first 3D printer back in 2018, one of the best decisions i have ever had lol
Its uses are tremendous and beyond just RC related stuffs, you can design things useful for FPV, CNC, server rack and even crypto-mining lol
3D printing is absolutely amazing 🔥🚀
Have a great week ahead Mario and keep on unleashing that creativity 🙏🏽💪🏽

[@Rcschim]

Thanks for the nice comment Cedric. Nice to hear from you - hope all is well in Thailand! Greets and have a great week too!

[@pokiou]

Go to your slicer.. look at the custom gcode start up section. After where you see G28, go down 1 line and type M420 S1 Z5... you have to manually tell the printer to load the bed level mesh... i know this is old but this is to help those who are having issues and why there beds after doing the ABL it still screws up. The code i provided up tells the the printer to load the mesh stored in the memeory slot 1 and to use that mesh for the 1st 5 layers or 5 mm of the print.

Fantastic review, Mario! 😃
It's really interesting to watch the 3d printing market advancing... It's getting better and better for us!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Rcschim]

Thanks Mario!

[@maelradec6766]

This is why you are the man, you covered everything and mods. cheers boss

[@ikaatzesp]

How did you change the nozzle?

[@MrBaskins2010]

glad i found your channel, would love to see you try a 1.5mm CHT clone nozzle i saw online recently

[@Rcschim]

Not sure if such a large nozzle could be feeded by normal hotends. They become the bottleneck for sure quite literally ;)
0.8mm is already pretty large imho.

[@shogo8633]

I have one and it clogs extremely easily. The only filament I have been using without clogs is sunlu pla. Does it happen the same to you? I am considering to switch to a ptfe barrel

[@Rcschim]

No, I think I didn’t have a clogged nozzle yet on this one. But mainly printing pla or sometimes tpu. After 1 month I changed the nozzle now to 0.8mm and I don’t think you could clog this ;)

[@TheFeralEngineer]

I just got Klipper running on mine 😀

[@Rcschim]

I got Klipper running on my new x4 plus now, per default ;). Even comes with fluidd as a default, and root access via ssh.

[@TheFeralEngineer]

@@Rcschim that's no fun. OEM tainted Klipper isn't true Klipper.
