Enclosure for Artillery Sidewinder X2/X1.
Print Profile(0)
Description
If you have a Sidewinder X1 or X2 and would like an enclosure for it but don't have room for a large enclosure.
This project is for you!!!
The project involved modifying the original enclosure so that the electronics had their own air circulation, isolated from the warm air in the chamber. During several hours of printing, the temperature of the printer's main board did not exceed 38oC at a room temperature of about 23oC.
The temperature in the chamber reaches 40oC when printing ABS/ASA - 245oC hotend, 100oC bed.
This is a modification project adapting the original Creality Enclosure S (480x600x720mm) (affiliate link) for the Artillery Sidewinder X2 printer.
The design is based on printed parts that are bolted or joined together using neodymium magnets.
The parts of the base as well as the frames of the ventilation ducts are bolted together for better stability.
To make disassembly and assembly easier, the ventilation channels are attached to the printer with magnets without interfering with its structure. The frames of the side ventilation ducts are connected to the ventilation ducts by means of appropriately positioned pairs of magnets; the frame of the central duct also has two magnets, which are connected to the sheet metal casing of the printer.
My assumptions for the case design for my Sidewinder X2 printer (order is important):
- Price.
- Minimum size of the case in order not to enlarge the already large dimensions of the printer.
In addition, the minimum volume of the chamber makes it possible to achieve a higher temperature in the chamber when printing ABS, ASA or PA without using an additional heater. - Possibility of making or adapting an existing enclosure using mainly 3d printing.
- Protecting the printer from dust.
- An enclosure that does not restrict the cooling of the printer's electronics.
- An enclosure that allows printing with filaments that require an insulated chamber.
Due to lack of time to complete the full project, I divided the work into stages:
- Fabrication of the bolt-on components that allow the printer to sit on the metal tube frame of the housing >>>COMPLETED<<<.
Closing the hole left by an unused LCD display. >>>COMPLETED<<<, I used my old design.

- Lighting of the printer bed >>>COMPLETED<<<, I used my old design. https://www.printables.com/pl/model/705216-brackets-for-the-led-strip-for-artillery-sidewinde
- Making the ventilation ducts integrated into the printer as well as into the shell of the case, connected by snaps or neodymium magnets >>>COMPLETED<<<.
- Making a cover for the bottom hole in the printer at the Y axis motor - IN DEVELOPMENT.

NOTES.
- The design is my idea of using Creality Enclosure S for my printer.
- This is not a certified solution dedicated to the Artillery Sidewinder X2 compliant with VDE, IEC or similar standards.
- Any printer enclosure made by yourself increases the risk of fire.
- Never leave the printer on unattended
- Use at your own risk.

And as always with functional rather than decorative prints I recommend calibrating the prints on the printer using the advice of @SteveHanov, I recommend the link:

External bracket for mounting the phone with Klipperscreen, Orange Pi Zero 3 with Klipper:
I added an external bracket for mounting the phone with Klipperscreen, Orange Pi Zero 3.
The handle consists of four parts:
- a clamp for the 16mm frame tube
- a base screwed through the casing material to the clamp with four 3x20mm screws
- a frame inserted into the base to which the OrangePI enclosure can be attached.
- adapter screwed to the frame with two 3x12 mm screws with which you can attach the phone holder designed by @danec to the frame
The Orange Pi Zero 3 CASE can be found at the link:

I have included additional instructions and parts lists needed to assemble the bracket in a pdf version.
At my enclosure I have version 0 fitted.
I am making version 1 - the revised version - available.
Because the parts were too tightly fitted - I had to rework the handle (I used more clearance between the base and the frame).
I have not printed version 1 - so please comment back on whether the parts fit together well and whether there is a problem with assembly.
