Review on Voxelab Aquila M Removable Carborundum Printing Surface - High Precision 220X220X250Mm Build Area by Robert Xayamonty

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great printer no doubt

I bought two Aquila X2 after receiving a lot of positive feedback from the 3D printing communities. I have a small print shop and needed additional equipment without spending a lot of money. I have 4 other printers, one of which costs several thousand dollars, and I have to say the Aquila X2 produces excellent prints that rival my industrial quality machine. I bought them to print exclusively in PLA and PETG so I have experience with those two materials so far, but I run my two X2s 18-20 hours each day and haven't had any issues with the finished parts so far. What I print has to be dimensionally accurate to 1/10th of a millimeter and I can get it right on my X2s every time. I will say that platform leveling worries me the most - all my other printers at least help move the print head to specific points on the build plate to make the necessary adjustments, but the X2 is a bit trickier as it moves the print head manually must be above the building board surfaces. Not a big deal as it's a relatively small buildplate and I've only had to make very minor modifications since I first put it on. The out-of-the-box experience was far more hands-on than my other printer mount printers, but the instructions were easy to follow and the entire process took only half an hour per printer. If these printers continue to work I will definitely be buying at least a few more to add to my farm.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Great price
