Product Information

Assembling and maintaining the Aquila C2 is a breeze. Its user-friendly design and clear instructions make it easy for anyone to set up and start printing in no time. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced user, this printer offers convenience and reliability. You could do the same thing using a few screw nuts and a bit of patience, but the silicone bed mounts are quite cheap and will allow you to have your bed fixed much faster. This upgrade is something I started recommending to most of the printers available because it makes bed leveling much easier and should eliminate the need for any auto bed leveling solution like a BLTouch. Voxelab Aquila X2 3D Printer Review: Inexpensive, But Unimpressive : Read moreIf it is an ender 3 V2 clone, you use the Ender 3 V2 cura profile.. The Creality 3D printer line is completely open-source, allowing for add-ons and upgrades of almost every component on the machine. This 3D printer gives you an awesome foundation for experimentation.

You’re not going to get anything fancy with this 3D printer. It looks a lot like any other budget option you might find on the market. It’s not going to blow you away, but it will get the job done. There is no front drawer on the device and the unit’s screen is set to landscape mode. Printing volume Large Build Volume: Print bigger and more ambitious projects with the spacious 220 220250mm build volume. Some people hate bowden setups and choose to convert their printers to a direct-drive setup, mostly for better filament control and less retraction. It also improves the print quality for flexible filaments like TPU, so it might be an interesting Voxelab Aquila upgrade, especially considering that it can be done with no cost except for a few grams of filament. If you decide to convert your Aquila to direct drive, make sure you print this mount first then start working. Tool holder Aquila is a straight forward BD printer based on open source technology. It allows for flexible upgrades and various modifications. Meanwhile, you are able to choose your favorite software as VoxelMaker, Cura and more.

You cannot possibly be serious. Fixed-level print surface? That will only make leveling a true nightmare. If you want a better extruder for your Voxelab Aquila, then you can give the BMG extruder clone a shot. This one also has dual gears, but it also has a 3-to-1 gear ration which will provide more accuracy for your extrusion quality and will also let the extruder motor work less. With the BMG extruder, you will need to change the motor direction in your firmware or switch the motor wires (which does the same thing). Also OctoPi? Only at staggering cost. A Raspberry Pi capable of running OctoPi is now just stupid expensive. It’s much cheaper and simpler to just buy a cheap secondhand Linux desktop computer and run Pronterface on it.

If you are in two minds about whether to buy one of these Vs a Creality machine, don't give it a second thought. At the Feb 2022 prices available in the UK there is no contest, you would be mad to buy Creality. Additionally, you can upgrade the hotend in the future if you plan on doing a lot of printing at higher temperatures. This is handy if you don’t want to have to regularly troubleshoot issues with your hotend. Belt tensioners In my experience it is a pretty much flawless printer apart from an audible fan, which is hardly the end of the world when the printer costs less than 70% of the Ender 3 v2. The hot end module contains two fans: a part cooling fan mounted on the right that blows cool air over the printed module and a heat break cooling fan that is mounted over the hot end. By far, this is my least favorite part of the Aquila X2 due to the distractingly-loud noise generated by these fans. The silent stepper drivers on this printer provide a nearly silent mechanical movement system, but the fans sound like a hair dryer when they are running.

The printer’s surface is held in place with two metal clips, which lets you remove the glass if you need to. This is a handy feature for cleaning up after print jobs. One item to note is that the Aquila does not have insulation material beneath the printing bed. Power supply One of the coolest features about the Aquila printer is that you’ll get a nice, color TFT screen with the unit. The screen has a white user interface with red accents. Unfortunately, it’s not a touchscreen, so you’ll have to use the hardware buttons to navigate through the menu. The screen is responsive and fast, which is nice to see since the printer doesn’t offer many advanced options or additional features. PTFE hotend The good news is that it works very well with PLA, but if you start printing at more than 240 degrees Celsius for long periods of time, you’ll start to notice degradation in the tube and a foul stench in the air. If the Voxelab Aquila 3D printer doesn’t sound like it’s going to meet your needs, there are plenty of options available on the market. Here are a few alternatives you might consider: Creality Ender 3 If I needed two printers I'd buy another. And yes 'TOM' it does know what it's about. It is a budget version of a good solid enthusiast's machine at a startlingly good price. With no significant technical compromises to hit the price point!
