Review on 🖨️ Enhanced Voxelab Aquila X2 3D Printer by Joshua Mejia

Considering the price, that's pretty amazing. The print results are no worse than the more expensive ones. However, the reason it is so affordable compared to other expensive ones is that it takes you more time and effort to assemble it right out of the box. You should really put your time/effort into it. Another thing is that it's like a mechanical/automatic car (it costs more); It can be tricky when it comes to things like getting it right alignment because it doesn't have an auto-align feature etc. A better price therefore comes at the expense of greater complexity. But if you're on a tight budget or love to build, this can be a fun but challenging weekend project. If your RV isn't working or the nozzle isn't moving etc. it's most likely user error; I cannot stress enough how IMPORTANT it is to get all four corners of a piece of paper properly aligned. DO NOT SKIP and DO NOT REST in this part. If you don't, you will face all sorts of problems. I ended up scratching my bed =( The four knobs on the bottom need to be turned in small increments because they are quite delicate/need to be accurate. Top tip: you do NOT want to push the bed yourself when leveling; use MOVE to Bring the nozzle to the four corners, one annoying thing is that you have to turn the knob many times to get to a certain axis, because you can't type numbers / touch the screen, the biggest problem is getting the alignment right 0.1mm thick (that's why they force you to use paper) Quick assembly, you will definitely spend more than an hour I appreciate that many parts are labeled One instruction is not enough, so it's really helpful to watch YouTube videos of the assembling process - Prints as well as expensive ones - R is relatively quiet compared to Cons: - Can be a big challenge even for a tech savvy guy like me meh longer hours (not recommended for non-technical people) - No auto-leveling feature; this is IMPORTANT for proper operation/printing. You have to do it manually manually. Alignment knobs complicate the task. Not touch screen. Because you can't enter numeric values, turning the knob takes forever when you want to switch to a specific axis. since it doesn't have a spool) - I didn't have a clamp to hold the filament on the tube, you'll be so proud when you get a printout of it because it looks like you built a rocket ship (I thought it was harder than building a computer) and your wallet will be happy too. It's not perfect, but worth it if you put in the time and dedication.
