Artillery Sidewinder X1 V4 Gantry Support

thingiverse

This is my version of a gantry support for Artillery Sidewinder X1 V4. To assemble it, you will need: - 8 M5x16 screws - 2 M3x40 screws - 2 M8 threaded rods (lenght 730 mm) - 10 M8 nuts Instructions: - Fix Part A on the top of the gantry with 2 M5 screws. Pay attention to the Z-axis timing belt: it can loosen up when you remove the original M5 screws. - Fix Part B on the base of the printer using two M5 screws. - Fix Part C to Part B with a M3 screw. - Insert the threaded rod in the three diagonal holes of Part A, B, C and and secure it with the M8 nuts and the diagonal washers (you should print four of them, stl file included). - Part A and B must be fixed with 2 nuts each, otherwise the threaded rod will pull or push the gantry. I printed it in PETG, but I think you can use PLA too, maybe increasing the infill. You can avoid printing washers if you want, but they are useful to spread evenly the load of the nut. Also, they are very fast to print. If you set a 0.32 mm resolution, the top surface of the diagonal hole will be "stepped" and you will have more grip when you will fix the nuts.
