Thank you so much! I just purchased a Sidewinder X1 and absolutely love the machine, however am dealing with a bed issue. After watching your excellent video it appears this could be the problem I’m experiencing. Thank you again for sharing!

I have to use a brim for articulated objects. Someone suggested using Z Hop when retracted.

Looking forward too your next X1 video

Excellent discussion and much appreciated 👍 Which replacement poly V-rollers would you recommend?

Thank you very much, had the exact same issue.

This is my first 3d printer. I've had it for over a year, but have not used it a ton because I felt like no matter what I did I couldn't get could quality from it. Plus even with a bltouch I had issues with it not being leveled, filament being higher or lower on parts of the first layer. Layer lines have been uneven for me for a while. I'm now going to try upgrading to polycarbonate wheels, I hope it solves my issue.

FYI the new build plate heater pads have a different location for the cable, so every cable brace I found did not fit for this.

Very helpful!!

Hey, thanks for sharing this. What cooling settings are you using with PLA?

What I would have done to check for bed flatness first would have been to use a straightedge on the bed. If the bed is warped you'd see light between the straightedge and the bed in certain orientations. If the bed was flat then it would have been some other issue. I'm wondering why printer manufacturers have moved away from the old method of using cylindrical bearings running on steel rods (like you see on the Prusa i3 and on my Wanhao i3) - are the cylindrical bearings and rods that much more expensive, or are the rods more flimsy, especially when you have a large bed like this?

Nice vid. Clear. Question : Where do u buy the NEW V-rollers ?

Thank you for this video! Would it be possible to have a link/reference for polycarbonate V-rollers?

Thank you!!!! I know now what problem i have!!!

Thank you. Was the issue right out of the box or did it develop later. I've had mine for three weeks and it started having issues in the center like it warped away from the nozzle.

Please help me, this is my first printer (the X2) and it will not print anything other than a cube. Everything is levelled. I’ve had enough

THANK YOU

@wf3d 9:00 hehe, du hast ja einige Benchys gedruckt, wie man im Hintergrund auf dem Regal sehen kann. Ich habe auch die 2 mittleren Rollen entfernt, so lassen sich alle Rollen (nun 4) viel einfacher justieren und der Wagen wackelt nicht mehr. Zusätzlich habe ich von Federn auf Silikonzylinder umgestellt. Das war damals alles sehr nervenaufreibend als Anfänger bis die Ergebnisse zufriedenstellender wurden.

On visual examination, my plate doesnt go up and down along the y axis, but my print has constant, regular horizontal lines . Not sure if a flat roller would cause that. ..Any thoughts. ?

Hey man, I am also working on making the printer really working nicely and I already got rid of some junk, which didnt make any sense. So I replaced the drivers after the burned out after 3 days of use -_-, installed a cooling system underneath the printer to keep these really cool and threw out the filament sensor aswell as fix the filament somewhere else than the top. But I still have some issues. My Bed is also non planar and the wheels have rings in them too. So the bed will be swapped for an aluminium one. I also dont like the extruder, so Im gonna probably swap it out completely, still looking for a suitable drop in replacement... but the most important issue to me is, that the z Axis, after letting the printer alone for a bit and then trying to move the axis‘ , if I press the 10mm up Button for the z axis it makes a horrible noise and somewhere the axis jams. Ive lubricated it plenty and checked the rods but it seems like there is some overall issues with the mechanics. Do you know about these Issues aswell? And have you fixed them perhaps? Let me know and Ill be waiting for your next videos. Greetings from Germany :)

what is the stl for the test you did in red around the 2:40 mark?

What does it mean if it prints the first layer hood but on the second and third it starts going back down and hits the bed

Could you share the profile?

2:38 can share .stl file or gcode print test ?

I bought 1 hoping to print it does not work 😕

Genius!! 🙌🙌👍👉

It would be good to point a FLIR camera at the plate to see the temps and their evenness of distribution on the topside rather than at the thermistor location.

So it appears there is no need to buy a new heater when replacing your bed? I am upgrading to an aluminum bed, and assumed the heater would be destroyed when peeling it off, or if you you did get it off-- the adhesive would not stick well a second time. But your video suggests otherwise

Do you think that after spending over € 300 for the printer I am willing to take it apart and replace some parts with new ones?

So you replaced the bed with the same type of bed, no upgrade??

I enjoyed your video +1 Subs

What file did you use for the bed level test?

1:45 One look at the gaps in the lower surface tells me the nozzle was way too far from the bed. Of course adhesion will be bad. With a small surface like this it does not matter whether the bed is straight. Just level your bed so that the nozzle is close enough and there are NO GAPS on the first layer.

but why did you replace the bed?

I think it's only yours who has these issues. Bad luck. I got several of these and zero issues.

Quite a lot of work and money for an inferior solution. MBL anyone ?
