I am looking to make an artifact based deck but color restriction is not really a key factor. Thus I am looking for commanders that syngerize well with artifacts. I k ow arcum dagsson is probably ly candidate #1 but I am looking for others.
Most of the time using Possibility Storm (you get the next artifact from your deck from the storm trigger, then grab the one you originally cast from Mishra's ability) or something like Nether Void that counters your artifacts (so they come back from the graveyard anyway).

My favorite is Daretti, Scrap Savant. He was made for artifacts. And if you play him with tons of back breaking cards like Smokestack, and some LD, He is a powerhouse. Turn 2 Daretti, turn 3 Thoughts of Ruin bring back Winter Orb from the grave, turn 4 what ever you want...
Sharum is mostly for combo but you can still make a good stuff artifacts with.
Daretti is amazing, so many synergies he can do.OHHH i wished he was Izzet to have access to blue.
I run both decks, love them both. They do similar graveyard shenanigans, although I'd argue - like you said - that Sharuum is a combo deck while Daretti is more artifact reanimator/ALL THE SYNERGIES.

my friend plays Nin in his artifact eck. And she is pretty good as you can draw crads with her. More fuel.
While it's true we have UR commanders that will do for artifacts too, I meant something along the lines of Reclusive Artificer that has specific artifact synergies.
Mishra, Daretti, and Sharuum are all great but if you want a Izzet Commander maybe look at Arjun, the Shifting Flame as artifacts often combo together and drop the cost of themselves. Adn this allows you to just keep finding the best6 artifacts and combo out with them. For example Basalt monolith and then use other artifacts to cast Rings of Brighthearth and just by casting artifacts you can dig for the combo

Never looked at Arjun, the Shifting Flame like that, but in reality it could be a really good deck...
If people are sick of reading about stuff just stop taking part. You have 100% control over what you read. Simic Ascendancy isn't going to get banned just because you didn't tell someone to shut up on the internet.
I also add my love for Glissa. The colours are weird though you don't get much support in those colours my deck has ended up almost completely colourless.
Thada Adel, Acquisitor does well with artifacts, as well. She's basically mono-blue ramp, since almost everyone runs Sol Ring, and many run other mana rocks besides.
Karn, Silver Golem enables a lot of interesting artifact combos, can let you turn a board of noncreature artifacts into a swarm to swing with, and his manabase is much cheaper with the addition of Wastes. (Although, Karn can't really do very much that Sydri can't, with the exception that Sydri needs colored mana.)
Artifact-heavy commanders that I've personally had positive experiences with:
1. brago, king eternal. His ability allows him to exile (untap) all nonland permanents he controls every turn. This makes mana rocks a key component of the deck, allowing him to break stax parity and use entirely one-sided cards like [[static orb]] and [[embargo]]. He's wickedly strong-- easily Tier 1 when built correctly.
5. sydri, galvanic genius. While not as strong as the four previously listed commanders, Sydri has great artifact synergies. She can win by blowing up everyone's lands with mycosynth lattice, assembling an infinite combo, or simply beating face with an army of artifacts.
6. daretti, scrap savant. Yet another stax commander. Daretti wins by coming down quickly and getting his ult online, allowing him to create one-sided destruction. All of his abilities are extremely relevant.

I haven't been able to get the thought of Arjun, the Shifting Flame as an artifact commander out of my head. The colors are great, the sifting ability is holy crap, and the 6CMC shouldn't be too bad because you can use tons of rocks that will eventually help you sift through the deck. I have gobs of cards for an artifact deck sitting around, I might just have to give this a try.

Yay! Im putting together a Storm Version of Arjun but I really I want to try the artificer Arjun but I already have a Mishra deck. Honestly I am probably going to make an artifact Arjun in addition so let me know how your list ends up.

Feldon of the Third Path, Arcum Dagsson, Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer are all also commanders with strong ties to artifacts.
Really wish we had a UR one, too.

2. teferi, temporal archmage. Another stax commander, he too heavily abuses artifact mana, and has several artifact-based win conditions like the chain veil and ward of bones.
3. sharuum the hedgemon. Most of her win conditions are assembled through artifacts.
4. arcum dagsson. No introduction needed.
5. sydri, galvanic genius. While not as strong as the four previously listed commanders, Sydri has great artifact synergies. She can win by blowing up everyone's lands with mycosynth lattice, assembling an infinite combo, or simply beating face with an army of artifacts.
