Our take on the Sidewinder X4 PRO S1
The Sidewinder X4 Pro S1 is the version of the X4 Pro with an upgraded chip for Klipper, the firmware that gives it input shaping and pressure advance. Artillery claims up to 500 mm/s, with a 240 × 240 × 260 mm volume, a nozzle up to 300 °C, a 100 °C bed, a dual-gear direct extruder and metal linear rails on X and Y.
If you need more space, its bigger sibling, the Sidewinder X4 Plus S1, goes up to 300 × 300 × 400 mm with the same approach. What Klipper does and doesn't bring is covered in what is Klipper.
Worth knowing: Artillery also lists ABS and nylon as compatible, but it's open-frame, and materials like ABS warp much more without an enclosure, as Prusa explains in its ABS guide. For them, see the enclosed 3D printers.

What materials can the Sidewinder X4 PRO S1 print?
This comes from four facts on its spec sheet: the nozzle reaches 300 °C, the bed an unconfirmed temperature, and the machine is open-frame with an unconfirmed extruder. Those four facts decide most of the list: nozzle temperature sets the ceiling on what you can melt, the bed decides whether the first layer sticks, the enclosure keeps large parts from warping, and the extruder type rules flexibles. We don't test the machine — this is guidance derived from verified data, not a guarantee.
In short: it prints PLA without a fight, and it can reach ABS, ASA, Nylon (PA), Policarbonato (PC) with conditions — the detail for each is below.
| Material | Prints it? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Yes | Yes. PLA has no special needs: any FDM printer like the Sidewinder X4 PRO S1 prints it out of the box. |
| PETG | No data | Not verified. We're missing this model's confirmed max nozzle/bed temperature to give a verdict. |
| TPU (flexible) | No data | Extruder type not verified. TPU works much better with a direct drive; check before buying. |
| ABS | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 300 °C, but it's open-frame: ABS can warp and ventilation is advised. Doable in a draft-free spot or by adding an enclosure. |
| ASA | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 300 °C, but it's open-frame: ASA can warp and ventilation is advised. Doable in a draft-free spot or by adding an enclosure. |
| Nylon (PA) | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 300 °C but is open-frame; Nylon warps in drafts and absorbs moisture. Enclosure + drying almost mandatory. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
| Policarbonato (PC) | With caveats | With caveats. It has the temperature (300 °C) but is open-frame; PC warps badly without an enclosure. Only with one added. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
