Since this is shaping up to be a beginner's course, I think a great video would an overview of all the other resources out there. I speak from experience that when there's a HUGE wealth of information, it can be very daunting figuring out what's good, relevant, and recent, doubly so with emerging/evolving technologies like 3D printing.
Sure. I’ve had them, used them, went back to manual on almost all of my machines. My current favorite is enabling “manual mesh leveling” in the marlin firmware and doing it manually. That machine hasn’t been leveled in months and it’s flawless. My Ender hasn’t had any issues with leveling for as long as I can remember. Sure if the printer came with it, it’s ok but in my personal opinion, I’d like manually leveling and use the extra funds to buy more filament. ;)
Thanks for your vids so far on this printer. I've just ordered 1 From Amazon UK and can't wait to get started on it. Would love a video on printed upgrades and purchased upgrades you'd recommend.
Wow, the knowledge you are sharing is an incredible gift to us!! Thank you for making 3d printing a wonderful experience by helping us thru the pitfalls.
I just want to say that I am ever grateful for the work you put in to make it easier for beginners to start printing. The software and the tips on how to use are amazing and I was able to dive right in. I can’t say thank you enough. Keep up the good work.
I'm just watching lots of videos before I finish assembling my Aquila (if my cat ever decides to move from my lap), and I pick up little useful bits of info in every video. This is the first time I heard about the concept of "seams" which never even dawned on me before, but it's not something I'm going to forget in a hurry.. Thanks!
Dude, these videos are awesome! I was shocked when I saw how new your channel is. Your delivery, editing, and camera work is already as good as some 100k+ channels. Keep it up!
I hope so! These are as fun to make as they are hard. Especially cause I'm trying not to use too many words that might confuse someone which in turn just confuses me. LOL
Hi Fedor! Thanks for these tutorials they’ve really helped me a lot! I was able to print a couple perfect benchys along with some other models, but seemingly out of nowhere, I started to get some gaps in my layers. I followed some online tutorials, cleared a clog in my hot end, replaced my nozzle, but no matter how hard I try, it seems to keep underextruding! Even the preloaded files aren’t working anymore, really in need of a 3dprintsos!
Sounds like a typical experience of 3D printing. Haha. Have no fear. You’ll get it up and running soon. Have patience. Can you upload a photo or a few of what’s going on so I can try to help? It may be a gap between your ptfe tube and your nozzle. Before switching nozzles, did you try to clear away the clog with the provided needle?
@@3DPrintSOS Thanks for the quick reply! Actually, I’ve just figured out the issue! Or I think I have. Shortly after switching out my ptfe tube, replacing nozzle, and endlessly poking at the hot end, I noticed that the extruder idler was skipping! The tension arm is cracked, so I’ll have to order a new one, preferably an aluminum one I heard is a good upgrade. I’ll keep you and everyone posted on the progress in case anyone else is having a similar issue!
Hey look on the bright side, you now know way more about your printer! ;). Glad you found the issue. I’d say you can print out my extruder design that comes with an arm, but unless you have another printer, you’ll surely have to buy one. Yes the metal ones are nice and durable. Look for something that lets you adjust tension. ;)
@@3DPrintSOS UPDATE: Changed extruder to red metal one, also upgraded to yellow springs. After spending way too long leveling the bed with the new springs, first print is going alright! First layer adhesion was near perfect and print is currently going smoothly. Great $20 fix!
I used this vid mate just got my first printer and printed the most amazing benchy following your tutorials. Ive printed like 5 things now, have cut out the noisy fan and replaced it, fixed a few issues all because of your vids. Really appreciate it mate!. Greetings from Austraila.
Just got the Aquila, I have printed the files on the SD card, the quality is amazing! So now I have setup cura and watched your videos a few times. Great job explaining! Now I’m off to try to print something I’ve created or thingaverse models. Thanks again like someone else said your the only one with many videos on the Aquila thanks again great work
OMG!!! After searching UA-cam videos for 3 days, I found this one, and after following his instructions, I was printing within 20 minutes! YOU ARE MY HERO!!!
My biggest problem with my machine is profiles for her. Thank you so much for this beginning. I usually find a compatable machine and use a profile from that to start from but none of the slicers have factory profiles for E3V2 or Aquilla. My machine came with a 235 X 235 bed not a 220 x 220. I used an ender 3 pro in cura for my starter set of profiles. I can't wait to see how yours does. I use Simplify 3d for problem solving as I know my way around the software. I calibrated the machine "FLASH" I call her with Micheal's tools at the git hub site to get everything as right as I could before I went for the first benchy. It looks pretty good for a benchy my hot end was a little warm so I got some stringing but a heat tower fixed that and she prints awesome. Thanks for your videos. You seem to be the Voxelab guy and I do appreciate your help.
Same boat, very grateful for your videos, unexpected gift, I know nothing about 3d printing. But I want to print pistol models to use for holster making in my leatherwork. Any advice or info would be much appreciated.
Just take your time. Stick to pla for a while. Calibration can we WAY more beneficial than “mods”. Most of the time it’s a simple change to fix whatever is happening. Some of the best prints I have are from bone stock machines. :)
Ordered my Aquila a couple of days ago and it's supposed to be delivered on Saturday. Looking forward to my first foray into 3D printing. Your videos are really helping me familiarize myself with the set up before I even have my hands on the printer. Thanks for dumbing it down for a noob like me. Here's hoping my cosplays benefit from 3D printing!
I just wanted to say thank you for uploading this profile, I had my Voxelab Aquila X2 for two day now and I was able to print the test files with no problem, but when I tried to print a file that I had using Cura, it would never stick to the plate no mater haw many time I leveled or cleaned the plate. But after downloading your profile, everything worked perfectly. Thank you you saving my A#$.
Thank you for all your Aquila videos. Like many of us, this is my first printer and your videos have been absolutely instrumental in getting me printing.
hey man thanks so much my dad was so stressed until i showed him your video, i got him the Voxelab Aquila X2 N32 for christmas and he was so excited once he found out how to do it thanks man keep it up!
Thanks for all your videos. Tons of useful info in all of them. Thanks to you, I've had no problems with my prints so far. One thing, I just downloaded Ultimaker while following along with this video. I think they've updated the software. The menus now have a different look and placement. I did make it through with a little searching though. So if anyone else has trouble with following the instructions, don't give up. Everything's there. Just in a different place or format.
I might have to try these profile settings, I only started 3d printing two or three months ago, but I feel like I am doing more maintenance than not haha. I own both a normal Aquila with a G32 and a C2 with the H32 chip. And I am constantly fixing clogs, or underextrusion, and other issues. My C2 I am thinking of doing the motherboard swap on, never got it properly running, I did update the drivers on it though. I use my normal Aquila normally. I run Numakers black PLA atm. Your videos have helped a lot, watched them religiously through this whole learning process, but it feels like for every step forward I take two back and I have my head against a wall atm.
The issues you mentioned could all be a few things. Extruder arm tension, ptfe tube not properly set at the nozzle, slicer settings. Hop into our discord server! We can help troubleshoot there
@@3DPrintSOS I'm playing with Cura as we speak so it might take a day or so to get everything dialed in. Last night I just printed the preinstalled test that came with the Voxelab. Came out really well.
I appreciate that. I added a “buy me a cup of coffee” to my Linktree link in the description. When people donate, I buy filament and equipment for the channel. :)
Thank you so much, this is beyond helpful! Having started out with an SLA printer I have been very lost and intimidated by getting into FDM printng with my aquila, but your videos have been a huge help! Just a suggestion/request I would love to see a video detailing how to do supports for FDM printing and more importantly when I should be using supports or not depending on the models. Again thank you so much!
Thanks for the profile. Just picked one of these up as a used return nice and cheap. After rebuilding it, I only had to put in a new hot end as the old one was trashed, and some new pneumatic couplers. Oh, and I had to reflash the bios as whoever had this before me installed the BL Touch firmware, but didn't have a BL touch on it. rofl. Just might be the best $50 I spent so far this year.
Thanks for the videos. Just got my Aquila today, my first ever 3d printer. First test thing, a kind of wheel, printed perfectly. Tomorrow I'll be printing from DL'ed files, then try my hand at doing something on Freecad. The end goal is to see if I can make useful bits and pieces for older cars, maybe something like custom badges for my Mini Cooper S.
Love your instruction as i have said... Finally got.me a computer that can handle everything cura or any other program throws at it😁😁😁😁 .. I would like you to do a instructional on how to print bigger items in sections if already haven't done it 3dprintsos 🎉🎉🎉🎉👋👋👋👋✌✌✌✌ ty again sir awsome stuff.....
When showing configurations and profile set ups such as this, please don't use a dark theme. It makes it difficult to see what is on your screen.. Also, please give version of software your are configuring. I'm trying to set up Cura v5.4.0 and some of the screens and menus are different than what you show... Thanks. You are a great teacher. Reminds me of my days as a USAF Technical Insrtuctor. Keep the videos comming!
Awesome vid but I recommend when starting with the aquila especially id new to it use a endr 3 profile on cura. I recommend using "Ender 3 Pro" profile. Alll of it is setup. I recommend highly this route vs making your own profile. All in all good video if you go with the way the vid goes though still a good choice.
Excellent guidance for the beginners! Thank you! It would be good if you can give a short tutorial on playing with model within Cura, i.e. rotate and different views.
What can i say but .thank you so much for all the help i got everything setup and printing first time all thanks to you and thank you for the profile it works a treat currently printing a little Kindom Hearts Keyblade pendant for the missus :)
Im currently researching what budget printer it going to give me less gray hair, when i came across your Chanel , Im loving your content and the way you reply to anyone that needs help, Great work !
Love the videos, thank you so much. Have you noticed that the times for the print is off? Thank you again so much for all your help. I'm getting awesome results from following you!!
Oh yea, the times are always off. I don’t think I’ve ever had an accurate printer. Lol. I just play it by ear. I do think the times in Cura are the closest to reality.
That just means your profile is setup from a selected printer such as an Ender3 . If you want to use my profile you will have to setup a “custom” printer.
Hi! Thanks for the video! I just got this printer, and the learning curve is real! LOL. So far, everything we have tried to print is a fail, except for the prints that came on the SD card. I just added the printer to Cura with the printer profile. Question I have- does the nozzle temp normally go over to the printer with the sliced code on the SD card? The bed temp was correct, but the nozzle temp was set to 0, so I manually changed it to 200. Thanks for any advice!
Just a bit of a curve yea. It gets easier though, promise. The good news is that if the SD card print work, it just means you are a few settings away from making it work and you leveled the machine correctly. These printers typically wait to heat the nozzle until the bed is heated all the way to the set temp. So if it’s set to 60c in the slicer, the hotend wil stay at 0 until the bed reaches that temp and then it will heat.
I am curious. the print bed size is listed as 235x235, but you put it in at 220x220. Is there a reason for that? Trying to understand how the slicer works and what the issues are. Is this like a margin like you would have with a typewriter?
Thanks for the video, I am a completely new to this, me and my 5 year old are super excited to start tinkering away. I had a question as far as the post printing order of operations. Cleaning the bed makes sense to me, but what about the extruder and nozzle, do i need to unload remaining filament and give it a quick clean or is it OK to keep it loaded? Also video idea if you have not done this already(I have watched quite a few of your videos just haven't searched all of them). Maybe something for the newbies just a walk through of a an entire print process everything before during and after to look out for cleaning, prepping, and general maintenance in order to prolong parts life just a general run down and what to look out for, obviously that's probably a long video but its hard to find some of the more "common sense" stuff that certain 3d pros take for granted.
I see that you know a lot about voxelab. I have a question about my voxelab aries. I have no idea if this voxelab is on 5.0 cura when adding my printer. Is it possible?
You could use a the Aries with Cura, but it needs specific settings for the custom profile. It’s way better to stick with voxelmaker for the Aries. Nearly perfect prints and the only way to use it wirelessly
Little late to the party here... but i was wondering: How do you know which numbers to fill in at the print head settings? The build volume, heated bed etc are all known specifications. but I wouldn't know where to begin to find the print head settings. So I am curious how you figured it out... A little background: I am considering buying either an Aquila or an Aquila X2 at some point, and am trying to learn the ropes a bit beforehand; hoping that will save me some frustration and wasted filament in the long run. So your channel is really, really helpful!
I appreciate that. I have a dedicated PETG printer, but would be fun to do one on the Aquila! So If I do a vid, expect a profile in the description. I would suggest PTFE tubing by Tecboss if you're going to print PETG though.
Hi, first off thanks for the video, but it continues to say the PLA Profile is corrupted whenever I try to import it to Cura, I've deleted and reinstalled like 4 times, any idea of what I should do? Edit: fixed it, was not putting it in a folder, thank you also member to put your settings on advanced whenever your looking over your settings.
Your voxelab x2 profile doesn't import anymore into the latest cura (5.4) because some of the settings in your profile no longer exist in this version of cura. Can you please provide an updated version of your profile? Thanks! Better yet - just add the profile settings to the description of your video - then anyone can make a profile using your settings (and figure out what to do with the ones that are different).
If you guys have ideas for future videos, please give suggestions. Im all ears.

This is very true. Not the first recommendation to do a “pro-tip” style video.

Sure. I’ve had them, used them, went back to manual on almost all of my machines. My current favorite is enabling “manual mesh leveling” in the marlin firmware and doing it manually.

"The whole purpose of me including this profile is so that you can print right away." My man, appreciate it
I got your back
It wont let me use the profile because it is labeled as "draft". 5.2.1
This happens when you printer profile is selected from a list and not custom like I have it.

The end goal is to see if I can make useful bits and pieces for older cars, maybe something like custom badges for my Mini Cooper S.
Congrats on the printer. Those sound like really fun projects. :)
thank you so much i was so stressed by it all but your vid helped me so much thank you Fedor!
Glad I could help. :)
Love your instruction as i have said... Finally got.me a computer that can handle everything cura or any other program throws at it😁😁😁😁 .. I would like you to do a instructional on how to print bigger items in sections if already haven't done it 3dprintsos 🎉🎉🎉🎉👋👋👋👋✌✌✌✌ ty again sir awsome stuff.....
Glad you found it useful. That’s a good idea for a video!
0mg ..Ty for making this video !!!!!
When showing configurations and profile set ups such as this, please don't use a dark theme. It makes it difficult to see what is on your screen.. Also, please give version of software your are configuring. I'm trying to set up Cura v5.4.0 and some of the screens and menus are different than what you show... Thanks. You are a great teacher. Reminds me of my days as a USAF Technical Insrtuctor. Keep the videos comming!
earned a new sub! thank you for the info and quality, my new Aquila coming in tmrw, can't wait!
Glad to have you on board!
Awesome vid but I recommend when starting with the aquila especially id new to it use a endr 3 profile on cura. I recommend using "Ender 3 Pro" profile. Alll of it is setup. I recommend highly this route vs making your own profile. All in all good video if you go with the way the vid goes though still a good choice.
even more, voxelmaker is amazing to start with. The presets are actually amazing and there is zero setup. ;)
Used your settings. Wow thank you!! It printing great
Great to hear!
Tysm! Ive been planning to get this and now im ready for printing.
Excellent guidance for the beginners! Thank you! It would be good if you can give a short tutorial on playing with model within Cura, i.e. rotate and different views.
Yes I think a deeper dive into Cura would a lot of people.
Thank you so much for this video and the others that have helped me set up my first 3D printer
Glad I could help.
Good man, thank you, forever sub here!
Thank you for your wealth of knowledge! Will be watching a lot of your stuff i am sure.
I appreciate that. Glad you’re finding it useful.
Many thanks for your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely. Glad I could help.
What can i say but
.thank you so much for all the help i got everything setup and printing first time all thanks to you and thank you for the profile it works a treat currently printing a little Kindom Hearts Keyblade pendant for the missus :)
Awesome. Thank you for the kind words. Glad it’s all worked for you.
Thank you so much! My aquila is printing so much better with your advice and settings.
Nice! Glad I could help.
Thank you! Your information was very helpful!!!
Great video!
Really helpful and nice to watch thx a lot from Germany 🙂😚
Thanks for watchin!
Im currently researching what budget printer it going to give me less gray hair, when i came across your Chanel , Im loving your content and the way you reply to anyone that needs help, Great work !
Appreciate that. Takes a lot of work, and I won’t always be able to help or reply...but I might as well try while I have the means. :)
Was wondering why you didn’t post but then realized I forgot to turn on notifications btw my aquill gets here tomorrow
Haha. Happens. Going to be fun!
This was so helpful! Thank you!!!
Fedor, If I could sub twice, I would. Your channel is a f@$☆ng gold mine.
Thanks man for all the effort!
Best regards!
I appreciate that. Thanks. :)
Love the videos, thank you so much. Have you noticed that the times for the print is off? Thank you again so much for all your help. I'm getting awesome results from following you!!
Oh yea, the times are always off. I don’t think I’ve ever had an accurate printer. Lol. I just play it by ear. I do think the times in Cura are the closest to reality.
Thanks bro😉 always top 🔝
thanks for all you do
No problem. Glad you found it helpful.
Can only use your profile on latest cura if switching to 0.6mm nozzle. Cura gives a warning about draft quality when importing.
That just means your profile is setup from a selected printer such as an Ender3 . If you want to use my profile you will have to setup a “custom” printer.
@@3DPrintSOS Thank you.
Hi! Thanks for the video! I just got this printer, and the learning curve is real! LOL. So far, everything we have tried to print is a fail, except for the prints that came on the SD card. I just added the printer to Cura with the printer profile. Question I have- does the nozzle temp normally go over to the printer with the sliced code on the SD card? The bed temp was correct, but the nozzle temp was set to 0, so I manually changed it to 200. Thanks for any advice!
Just a bit of a curve yea. It gets easier though, promise. The good news is that if the SD card print work, it just means you are a few settings away from making it work and you leveled the machine correctly.
These printers typically wait to heat the nozzle until the bed is heated all the way to the set temp. So if it’s set to 60c in the slicer, the hotend wil stay at 0 until the bed reaches that temp and then it will heat.
I found the Aquila X2 on sale for $179 and have ordered 4 of them LOL
Nice! 😂
thank you
I am curious. the print bed size is listed as 235x235, but you put it in at 220x220. Is there a reason for that? Trying to understand how the slicer works and what the issues are. Is this like a margin like you would have with a typewriter?
Thanks for your videos! Very helpful.
Ty. Glad you like em.
How do I open the printer profile? The link sends me a zip file when I download it but then it’s just a blank page.
Thanks for the video, I am a completely new to this, me and my 5 year old are super excited to start tinkering away. I had a question as far as the post printing order of operations. Cleaning the bed makes sense to me, but what about the extruder and nozzle, do i need to unload remaining filament and give it a quick clean or is it OK to keep it loaded? Also video idea if you have not done this already(I have watched quite a few of your videos just haven't searched all of them). Maybe something for the newbies just a walk through of a an entire print process everything before during and after to look out for cleaning, prepping, and general maintenance in order to prolong parts life just a general run down and what to look out for, obviously that's probably a long video but its hard to find some of the more "common sense" stuff that certain 3d pros take for granted.
Man thank you so much ! This helped me immensely with my first printer ! Can you show how to update the firmware ?
Got vids on that too. ;)
I see that you know a lot about voxelab. I have a question about my voxelab aries. I have no idea if this voxelab is on 5.0 cura when adding my printer. Is it possible?
You could use a the Aries with Cura, but it needs specific settings for the custom profile. It’s way better to stick with voxelmaker for the Aries. Nearly perfect prints and the only way to use it wirelessly
Little late to the party here... but i was wondering: How do you know which numbers to fill in at the print head settings?
The build volume, heated bed etc are all known specifications. but I wouldn't know where to begin to find the print head settings. So I am curious how you figured it out...
A little background: I am considering buying either an Aquila or an Aquila X2 at some point, and am trying to learn the ropes a bit beforehand; hoping that will save me some frustration and wasted filament in the long run. So your channel is really, really helpful!
I pulled the settings from their profile that was within their ancient Cura profile. So I just adapted them into the new version.
thanks
I tried to download the profile you included but it says that the download was unsuccessful and way to fix this?
Looking for a PETG profile... Your videos are great, thank you!
I appreciate that. I have a dedicated PETG printer, but would be fun to do one on the Aquila! So If I do a vid, expect a profile in the description. I would suggest PTFE tubing by Tecboss if you're going to print PETG though.
I’m working with a newer update to cura, there isn’t a spot for the pla specs?
Should be the same
Hi, first off thanks for the video, but it continues to say the PLA Profile is corrupted whenever I try to import it to Cura, I've deleted and reinstalled like 4 times, any idea of what I should do?
Edit: fixed it, was not putting it in a folder, thank you also member to put your settings on advanced whenever your looking over your settings.
Your voxelab x2 profile doesn't import anymore into the latest cura (5.4) because some of the settings in your profile no longer exist in this version of cura. Can you please provide an updated version of your profile? Thanks! Better yet - just add the profile settings to the description of your video - then anyone can make a profile using your settings (and figure out what to do with the ones that are different).
