Artillery
Artillery (also known as Evnovo) gained attention with the Sidewinder X series for delivering large-format, direct drive CoreXY-adjacent printers at competitive price points. Their Genius and Hornet models brought CoreXY mechanics to the sub-$300 tier, and the brand continues to iterate on speed and usability with newer releases. Artillery printers run Marlin-derived open firmware and have an active modding community, making them popular as upgrade platforms.
