This is ALL the files I used to completely convert the Sidewinder X1 to a usable, reliable printer.
- Convert the Extruder and the Mosquito. This is easy. Yank everything out, and replace. I replaced the Heater and the Thermistor with a Slice branded version. I used the mosquito fan too for the 24v.
- The conversion of the Mosquito will cause a few issues. One is the X won't hit the end stop anymore. I solved this by adding a small spacer and gluing it to the Extruder chassis so it hits the Endstop first. I made this piece so you can put a square nut to trigger the sensor.
- The other issue is the Fan duct. I have attached that fan duct off Thingiverse. Thing 3989544 is the fan I used.
- The Duet... so you need to print the MKS adapter for the board to fit properly. Also print some wire savers. Other than that it is straightforward. If you want to use the stock end stops which I highly recommend. You need to RE PIN the plugs. The POWER is in the center on the DUET. to make them all work I took the three power wires and put them together and connected them to the 5v pin on the Duet's expansion header. Refer to the Duet's install page for a pinout. Other than the Endstops you can for the most part unplug the old and plug it into the new.
THIS IS A TOUGH REBUILD. You have to manage around the ribbon cables etc. I did it in stages. First I installed the Mosquito, and the BMG as a unit. I got that working on the stock board FIRST, before moving on. If you tackle this all at once and you have a problem it can be very tough to track anything down.
The BMG and Mosquito are EASY, and this is an MUST UPDATE type thing. The worst part about the Sidewinder is its Cloned Hotend.
Enjoy.
I remixed the following files;
For the PanelDue Case to mount to the front of the X1; 1976962
For the Hotend cooling fan; 3989544
The rest I made myself.
