Product Information

One of the standout features of the Aquila C2 is its power failure recovery capability. Say goodbye to wasted time and filament due to unexpected power outages. This printer intelligently resumes printing from where it left off, ensuring that your progress is not lost. You can now save time and energy, focusing on your creative process. The TEVO Tarantula is the 1ST DIY kit 3D printer from the Chinese manufacturer TEVO. It has a construction volume of 200x 200x 200 mm and can be used with a variety of different filaments ranging from PLA, TPU, PETG, ABS, and many more. The Voxelab Aquila X2 feels like a printer that can’t quite decide where it should be positioned in the market. The silent stepper drivers and large color LCD screen would indicate a more premium machine, but the loud fans and sub-optimal software experience make this printer feel somewhat unfinished. You cannot possibly be serious. Fixed-level print surface? That will only make leveling a true nightmare. 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

Well, 'Tom's' views seem a little elitist..... 'can't decide what it wants to be', where is his confusion?Power Recovery: Resume printing seamlessly even after unexpected power outages, saving time and filament. 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. With its carbon crystal silicon build plate, the Aquila C2 ensures fast heating to 60℃ within minutes. This innovative plate provides strong adhesion and excellent bottom-layer print effects, enhancing the overall quality of your prints. 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.

As expected, the Aquila 3D printer comes with X and Y-axis belt tensioners. This is something you’ll find on newer printers, which is why it’s no surprise to find it on the Voxelab Aquila offering. Bear in mind that you don’t want to overtighten the tensioners because you may wind up with degraded print quality. Plastic extruder There’s also the possibility of adding an extra 3510 radial fan and print this mount to have dual fan cooling for your printer. Direct drive conversion 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. Make sure you read the documentation carefully before flashing a custom firmware, to ensure that you understood all the steps needed, and you have the correct files at hand. It’s also important to format the SD cards as recommended in the flashing guide, for a successful firmware upgrade. Vertical LCD mountI covered the Octoprint installation in this article, so if you have a Raspberry Pi laying around, there’s no reason not to give Octoprint a chance because it’s an excellent addition in the free Voxelab Aquila upgrades list. You’ll love it! Wrapping up You’ll get a single-gear plastic extruder with the Aquila 3D printer, which serves its purpose. It would be nice to have a metal extruder, but plastic is what you get with the Voxelab unit. The spool holder resides at the top of the Aquila printer, which makes the filament path a little challenging. But, the plastic extruder does have a metallic insert, which protects it from any filament grinding into the body of the extruder itself. Firmware updates

The Aquila C2 boasts a large build volume of 220* 220*250mm, allowing you to bring your creative ideas to life on a larger scale. With its replaceable build plate, you can easily remove completed prints and start on your next masterpiece without any hassle. Voxelab offers a Creality style hotend with its printer, where the PTFE tube enters the nozzle. The hotend is one of the cheaper models on the market, which is to be expected with a 3D printer at this price point.

Answer: A typical 3D printer uses 50 watts of electricity per hour. However, with 3D printers, you’re going to need much more power since they print non-stop for longer periods of time. As a result, you’re going to see a much larger electric bill. Most 3D printers require 120 volts of power, so don’t be surprised when your power bill arrives in the mail. Is the Voxelab Aquila 3D Printer Right for You? If you choose one of the bi-metal hotends, you will also be able to replace the hotend fan with a more silent variant. 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. 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!
