I think if they dropped the pro moniker and just left it at X4, it would give a better impression of what the product is. They have the plus, which is a perfect description of it being larger. So if they kept it as the X4 or X4 base, it would describe itself better.

I got one of the first ones. And it did have issues. I expected so. But after working with Artillery the thing is awesome. I have 27 printers from basic A8 to 1000x1000x1600 professional printer. As I told my wife I think I have had ever possible issue with 3D fused filament printing. . But then a new on comes along and so does the solution. As an engineer, the design of the Artillery is much better than some of these $500 printers. The issues are all from it being new. The bearing blocks on this printer are excellent. Giving rise to some of the best looking prints I have seen. Smooth surfaces, and NO artifacts like the K1 Max I got rid of. I print almost exclusively PETG. I will try some TPU and even nylon on this soon. When you buy a new, just out, 3D printer, you can expect some issues. For fun, I bought the latest model of the Ender 3, not the pro. Cheap. And it has all the bugs worked out. It has the 4.2.2 pcb and prints beautifully. A lot better than the K1 ever printed. K1 was a disaster for me. If I had time I would do some videos like this. But I'm up against the clock on my projects. Can't spare the time.

Thanks for sharing! As an fellow engineer, may I ask you opinion on V-roller printers suchs as the Neptune 4 or SV07? A lot of people say they are bad because of that, but I've so far never seen anyone argue that with actual test results and data, just heresay about the design.

Thank you for a honest review. I have the x1 for meny years without any problems dr reily just the usual cable replacement and upgraded the wheels and gantry stiffening rods. My first choice would be the x4pro but with all these problems I a very apprehensiveat this Tim's. Please could you update me on how it is running now as it I some time now since your post. Have you carried out any further updates and did the fix any problems you had Kindest regards. Mike Irish

I can disagree on some missing "pro" features 😉 - Manual (or could it be assisted, it does have a sensor, maybe it's not a Klipper thing?) levelling/tramming can bring bed corners within 0.1 mm while some fixed bed printers can have over 1 mm difference. Sure, mesh levelling handles that and possibly more, but it's just wrong 🤔 - Automatic belt tensioners work with springs, and at least I don't want anything springy or flexible in my belts. Better than loose belts, but no 😅 It's a pity that mechanically solid printer (compared to Ender 3 V3 SE and KE with plastic base) does not deliver in Klipper department.

DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE! the issue that it's mentioned briefly with the hotend is not a freak accident. Do a quick search and you will find in forums that this is a common issue, to the point that the hotend is no longer usable. Artillery knows this, and their terrible costumer service, will tell you that their "new policy" does not cover the hotend. The wifi, even with the new update, does not work. If it last one print it's nothing short of a miracle. And adjusting the Z-offset is not easy, since the software in the machine stops working all the time. You think you are adjusting it and it's not moving at all! This machine and company are nothing short of sc*m. All you have to do is do a bit of research. If you take the plunge there is one company (if you are outside the us) that provides compatible parts, it's from Thailand. Again. DO NOT BUY. it's tempting, don't do it

Isn't Professional all about price? :)

When marketing trumps engineering. Not a bad machine for the price though.

@eliwatkins2374 2 месяца назад

Yet another disappointing klipper bedslinger. It would have been a reasonable price 6 months ago, but now that the Ender 3 v3 KE exists and costs only a bit more, I see very few reasons to recommend this one. Especially since the KE fixes most of the issues you ran into with this (no bed screws, auto z-offset, can run input shaper calibration, and supports a camera).
