Voxelab Aquila S2 FDM 3D Printer, 300℃ High-Temperature Nozzle with Direct Drive, PEI Flexible Magnetic Build Platform, Support Flexible Filaments TPU, Large Build Volume 220x220x240mm

This machine was not easy to setup. Although most of the instructions were fairly clear, the wiring part was not at all (although I did get it right the first time), and calibrating the table that first time was a nightmare (the nozzle wouldn't reach the bed and I had to find a YouTube video to show me how to troubleshoot the problem).However, once all that was done and it was running, it has been awesome. My son has made pencil holders, toy cars, anime figures... all kinds of cool things. I do wish it was easier to setup and I wish you didn't have to calibrate it as often as you do, but it's still one of the coolest things I've bought in a really long time.

This is a great printer with smooth prints. This was my first print and it came out clean if, your wanting to save money this is perfect I watched a lot of videos and this printer had better prints than most expensive printers. The only flaw I had was that I could put the power supply on to the frame because the cable that connects the power supply to the printer didn’t reach it was about 2 inches away but I just sat it on the side nothing That makes the printer unusable tho. I saw some bad reviews on this printer but it’s seems that they didn’t know how to level out the base and they would get bad prints but in conclusion this is an amazing printer and I don’t think I’m going to have to upgrade for a while :)

Bought as a present for my 11 YO son. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the print for an inexpensive printer. Setup was straightforward but a little time consuming. The one challenge was figuring out leveling, but once we got it it was not that hard. TIP: when leveling, you may need to adjust the position of the z-axis stop sensor. There are plenty of videos on leveling on YouTube. I found the ones with English speaking reviewers more helpful than the ones from the manufacturer. The instructions, like for a lot of things, were clearly translated by someone for whom English is not a first language, and thus leave a little to be desired. But overall, as shown in the example picture, the printer does pretty darn good. The sample was from a free model we downloaded from the web, and it was printed using all the default settings of the printer and slicer.

I assembled it according to the directions and video assistance. And I went to test out everything but the excrutor thing won’t move it turns on but it won’t move. I checked everything over and over until I was sure I did it right

This printer has it allUpgradability? It's an ender 3 clone, so everything available for the Ender 3 should work here. Thingiverse also has *countless* free models to print to add to the printer.I would suggest you look up the Aquilla updated Feeding unit ( I forget what exactly its called) The stock one has been known to give people issues (I haven't had problems yet) so its best to print a new set of pieces with better geometry while the printer runs well.Noise? It's tolerable, the fans are the most noticeable part. But those are easy enough to change out if they bother you.I actually have my printer running in my room on my dresser and I don't experience loud humming from the stepper motors. I even sleep with the thing running from time to time with no problems! I would say, if you have the printer in your room to print a screen cover since the menu screen gets pretty bright at night since there isn't a way to turn down the brightness.Print Quality? It prints phenomenally out of the box! it just takes a good bed level to get started and the machine just goes and goes and goes! if you want *super* nice prints you can easily play with the settings. I myself am happy with the standard quality for most things. However, I did play with the settings when I was printing a more-or-less scale replica of the Volt from Apex Legends.One thing I did notice though, is that on long prints with a high Z-axis I do experience a few-layer shifts. I haven't quite figured out the source, but it's not a big enough deal to me yet to bother with it.Note, the printer does run a little slow, but there are easy ways to remedy that. I choose to let mine be a little more turtle-ish to try and retain as much quality as I can since, for the most part, I'm pretty patient.In summary, if you're looking for an entry-level printer to get started with or you're adding one to a fleet/farm. Do it! It will easily pay for itself in the long run when you can design and print something you need rather than spending 10x the money to buy something off the shelf. And it's more fun to prototype and problem-solve in 3d modeling software and see your creation take shape before your eyes!

If you aren’t good at putting stuff together get a different printer. This comes in pieces so it has to be put together and wiring connected. It prints great and is excellent for a beginner. Highly recommend.

Print quality is that of a more expensive higher end printer for a fraction of the cost

I was gifted an Aquilla x2 for Christmas. Made my first print that afternoon—see photo of the control panel. 24 hours later I printed 2 pawns, meant to be a series for a chess board. Upon completion I turned the printer off. When I returned to print the long and queen the control board had a weird “haze” around the font-but worked as it should. When I came back mid print the screen was white (see photo).I emailed after sales at Voxelab and after an initial response…crickets. Very disappointed. Will be returning and purchasing an Ender 3

You will have to put this thing together with instructions printed in China... if I would have read a little better I would have bought a pre-built unit. This is a Christmas present so it is obviously not put together yet so as far as build quality or functionality I cannot comment I can only hope this wasn't a waste of money...I also hope there is some kind of customer support if there is a problem.*************************************************Finally put it together and I am pleasantly surprised! Build quality appears to be pretty good! I would challenge the 10 minute build description bu all tools come with it. If you don't have mechanical skills this would be a challenge to assemble and align properly. I am a machinist and build cars, boats engines... many things and if I didn't... this would be a bit difficult.But I feel this machine is well worth the risk to purchase as an entry level machine! Thanks for a solid purchase! Score one for China this time!

Easy to use right out of the box
