This video is a follow up to my previous videos about the Aquila Pro. After using this printer for some time, I share my thoughts. Make sure you check out part 5.
I have watched all your videos on the Pro and they were a great help in the setting up. For some reason I got a spare display ribbon cable, maybe some people are damaging the one supplied because you have to twist it over to fit the correct way up on the display. As you say there are fores & against, as there are with most things. Dave
I've only just bought one of these 4 days back, after owning an Aquila C2 and buying that 3-4 weeks ago. The C2 was so much better in a lot of ways. That hanging issue you have with the screen, I've encountered that a good few times now and it's right dissapointing :( I've also found no matter what I do with my settings, the print quality has been nowhere as good as what I am getting with the C2. I thought the auto bed levelling and dual z-axis would make my prints even better, but I'm not seeing improvements in anything really. Also, No matter how I look into it, I cannot get cura stl's to print properly, but they'll print ok in voxelab maker. Overall, a disapointment compared to the C2, so wouldn't recommend one. Just my opinion though.
Oh! I forgot to ad, that I have those wifi connection issues too. My router is around 4m away from the pinter and about 50cm from my laptop. I don't bother with it anymore, and just stick the USB in and run the print file off that :/
Hi I've just bought the Aquila Pro having had thermister issues with my X2. I now have it all set up but I'm having problems with the Hot End Temp. all the setting are set at 210 & 60 degrees. but the printer starts to print at 150 deg. It does carry on up to 210 when reaching 150 which the X2 does every time. Did you come across this problem? and have you any ideas on how to fix it. I've contacted Voxelab but am waiting for a reply. I'm in the UK by the way Dave
Sorry I haven't responded to your post. I hadn't come across that issue, hopefully you have found resolution on that. If not I would down load the firmware off their website and reinstall it.
You can't change anything with the Pro. You can't even do a PID tune. Actually You may be able to it by writing the gcode commands in a text file, then change the extension from .txt to a .gcode and select print on your printer. I've never done it before and don't know if it will work with the Pro.
The WiFi issues could be any number of things not associated with the printer, how far is your printer from your network router? Do you have solid walls between the printer and the router? My printer is some distance from my router I got range extenders now everything is a lot better.
I have my printer in the garage, no other device I have has issues connecting to Wi-Fi, maybe the WiFi chip they use just sucks and is not powerful enough.

@@reapermansoldholdensixmech8675 I replaced my board and put in a different one and installed klipper, a better printer that way.

Do you have any idea how I could calibrate e steps ?
Screens with buttons you can extrude filament under "move" section but not with PRO
