If you choose one of the bi-metal hotends, you will also be able to replace the hotend fan with a more silent variant. This was one of the issues I had with the Flashforge Adventurer 4, which seems to make sense considering the slicer for the two printers is so similar and likely uses the same toolpath-generating algorithm. This gave all of the extrusions a sticky and greasy feel, and I had to clean them off with a degreaser before they felt clean and dry to the touch. The spool holder resides at the top of the Aquila printer, which makes the filament path a little challenging.Additionally, the unit’s extruder is a volcano extruder, so you don’t have to worry about overheating very often. The Voxelab Aquila X2 ships in a partially-built state, with the base of the printer and Y-axis already assembled. Using a shiny material (like this Prusa Silver PLA) tends to highlight defects, so the even layers are even more pronounced on this hook. 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.

Considering that this machine is a nearly direct clone of the Ender 3 V2, it’s disappointing to see such a low amount of effort from Voxelab in the area where users will spend most of their time interfacing with the Aquila X2.

This is a high-quality power supply, which means you’re not likely to run into problems in the future and have to replace it. The screen is responsive and fast, which is nice to see since the printer doesn’t offer many advanced options or additional features.

I’m not a fan of this style of build platform because it has no flex to it, which means you have to wait until the bed has fully cooled before removing the part and the shiny surface attracts fingerprints, dust, and other small defects very quickly. I wanted to see how well the Voxelab Aquila X2 could handle complex curves and shapes, so the Mandalorian Support-Free Remix by iczfirz was the perfect model for demonstration. This model features multiple individual bodies that print-in-place to create an articulated model that can flex around without falling apart.In addition to the parts for the printer, the Aquila X2 includes a scraper, a microSD card and reader, a set of Allen keys, a small flathead screwdriver, and a small spool of sample material.
