The Artillery Sidewinder X1 Is the Cat's Pajamas - Let's Review and Upgrade It!
Chinese Quality in 3D printing has a name and it is "Artillery." They got so many things right with this machine the "Sidewinder X1" There is one exception that's needs to be addressed before this 3D printer is making the best prints possible, so let's talk about that issue and upgrade this printer!

There is a new brand of 3D printer which showed up in the last couple of months. They are absolutely killing it. Let's talk about all the details of the Mingda D2 and D4 Pro that make this such a compelling new entrant into the 3D printer space.

This video is a side by side comparison of the design features of the two printers at the component level. Both 3D printers will print well out of the box. Hopefully, this video will help you figure out which 3D printer you should get.

The Tronxy X1 Is a Mast and Boom style 3D printer which only costs $126! With a bit of work it is possible to get the thing printing well, but it's diminutive size, a lack of part cooling, and lack of a heated bed makes this printer not very capable.

This printer made by the new brand TwoTrees is EXTREMELY well made. We haven't seen anything like it yet coming out of China. With all metal construction, twin cooling fans, linear motion rails, and (best of all) CoreXY kinematics, this printer is way ahead of the Ender 3, but costs about 2X as much, so the question remains is it worth it?
Here are a couple of listings for the printer with good prices. These are not affiliate links. I don't care if you buy it here or not. Apparently these are the Manufacturer's direct sales pages (hence the good price):

We all know that SLS is the big leagues, because the parts are isotropic, but the one thing which FDM/FFF printing can do which SLS can't is Multi-Material printing. Well, researchers at Columbia University's Creative Machines Lab have come up with a way. Of course this new technique will have it's own host of issues. Most obvious is keeping the print from sticking to the glass. If you read the scientific paper and can't understand the technique just think about combining SLS with SLA. The laser shines from underneath through a glass bed and fuses the powered plastic particles together. Then another glass with a different powdered plastic slides in and that plastic get's hit with the laser thus creating a single layer with two different materials. Great idea! Execution is everything.
