Mosaic Palette 2 Adapter for Artillery Sidewinder X1 3D Printer

thingiverse

The Palette 2 comes with a velcro stick on adapter to hold the tube in place, however, on the X1, the extruder cover is angled, so this didn't work very well and kept coming off. So I designed this adapter that will allow you to connect the palette tube to the extruder. There are 2 versions, if you have a strong and slightly flexible material, you can print the regular print and replace the filament guide tube with the adapter, but most materials the tube will break off. The "short" version allows you to print in any decently strong material (I used PETG at 100% fill) and it doesn't need to be flexible. Just remove the filament guide tube from the top of the extruder, slide the short version into place so the tab is inside the cutout and the holes are aligned. Then slide the filament guide tube back into place in the extruder, which will prevent the adapter from sliding out so the tab is not in the slot. Then place the extra rubber grommet in the adapter and attach the plastic tube when instructed by the palette screen. Both versions are designed to be printed upside down, because of the angles in the cone, you shouldn't need supports. Also the tab prints fine without supports in my experience, YMMV.
