4. Guida all'installazione

The Aquila X2 comes semi-assembled. Follow these steps to complete the setup:

4.1 Montaggio

  1. Disimballare i componenti: Rimuovere con cautela tutte le parti dalla confezione.
  2. Collega Gantry: Secure the gantry to the base using the provided screws. Ensure it is aligned correctly.
  3. Install Spool Holder: Mount the filament spool holder onto the designated position on the frame.
  4. Collegare i cavi: Connect all motor, endstop, and hotend cables according to the labels. Double-check connections for security.
  5. Controllo dell'alimentazione: Verify the power supply switch is set to the correct voltage per la tua regione (115 V o 230 V).

4.2 Livellamento iniziale

Accurate bed leveling is crucial for successful prints.

  1. Accensione: Accendere la stampante.
  2. Casa automatica: Navigate to the 'Prepare' menu on the screen and select 'Auto Home'. The nozzle will move to the home position.
  3. Disabilita gli stepper: Select 'Disable Steppers' from the 'Prepare' menu to move the print head freely.
  4. Adjust Corners: Move the nozzle to each corner of the print bed. Use a piece of paper between the nozzle and the bed. Adjust the bed leveling knobs until there is slight friction when moving the paper.
  5. Center Check: Repeat the process for the center of the bed.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

This section covers basic operation, from loading filament to starting your first print.

5.1 Caricamento del filamento

  1. preriscaldare: On the printer's screen, select 'Prepare' > 'Preheat PLA' (or appropriate filament type).
  2. Insert Filament: Once the hotend reaches temperature, insert the filament into the filament detection sensor and then into the extruder's input hole.
  3. Filamento di alimentazione: Gently push the filament until it exits the nozzle. You may need to press the extruder lever to release tension.

5.2 Avvio di una stampa

  1. Preparare il codice G: Use a slicing software (e.g., Cura, VoxelMaker) to convert your 3D model (.STL, .OBJ) into a G-code file. Salva questo file sulla scheda SD fornita.
  2. Inserisci la scheda SD: Inserire la scheda SD nello slot per schede della stampante.
  3. Selezionare File: On the printer's screen, navigate to 'Print' and select your desired G-code file.
  4. Monitorare la stampa: The printer will begin heating and then start printing. Monitor the first few layers to ensure proper adhesion.

6. Caratteristiche principali

The Voxelab Aquila X2 incorporates several features to enhance your 3D printing experience:

  • Filament Detection Sensor: Automatically pauses printing and notifies you when filament runs out or breaks, preventing failed prints and material waste.
  • Funzione di ripresa della stampa: In caso di mancanza di correntetage, una volta ripristinata l'alimentazione, la stampante può riprendere a stampare dal punto in cui era stata interrotta.
  • Removable Carbon Silicon Crystal Glass Plate: Provides strong adhesion during printing and allows for easy removal of finished prints once cooled. Heats up quickly.
  • Ampio volume di costruzione: Offers a generous print area of 220 x 220 x 250 mm for various project sizes.
  • Open-Source Technology: Allows for flexible upgrades and modifications, catering to advanced users.
  • Funzionamento silenzioso: Designed to operate with noise levels below 50 decibels for a more pleasant printing environment.

7. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce prestazioni ottimali e prolunga la durata della stampante.

  • Piano di stampa pulito: After each print, allow the bed to cool and then clean it with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue.
  • Ispezione degli ugelli: Controllare periodicamente l'ugello per verificare che non sia ostruito o usurato. Sostituirlo se necessario.
  • Lubrificare le parti mobili: Apply a small amount of lithium grease to the Z-axis lead screw and smooth rods every few months.
  • Tighten Belts: Assicurarsi che le cinghie degli assi X e Y siano correttamente tese. Devono essere tese ma non eccessivamente.
  • Aggiornamenti del firmware: Check the Voxelab websito per eventuali aggiornamenti firmware disponibili per migliorare le prestazioni e aggiungere nuove funzionalità.

8. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Fare riferimento a questa sezione per problemi comuni e le loro possibili soluzioni.

  • La stampa non si attacca al letto:
    Possibili cause: Bed not level, nozzle too far from bed, bed not heated, dirty print surface, incorrect initial layer settings.
    Soluzioni: Re-level the bed, adjust Z-offset, ensure bed temperature is appropriate for filament, clean bed with isopropyl alcohol, check slicer settings for initial layer height and speed.
  • Filamento non estruso:
    Possibili cause: Ugello intasato, filamento aggrovigliato, temperatura errata, slittamento dell'ingranaggio dell'estrusore.
    Soluzioni: Clean or replace nozzle, untangle filament, ensure hotend temperature is correct for filament, check extruder tension.
  • Poor Print Quality (Layer Shifts, Gaps):
    Possibili cause: Cinghie allentate, stampante instabile, velocità di stampa errata, ugello usurato.
    Soluzioni: Tighten X and Y axis belts, ensure printer is on a stable surface, reduce print speed, replace nozzle.
  • La stampante non si accende:
    Possibili cause: Loose power cable, incorrect voltage switch setting, faulty power supply.
    Soluzioni: Check power cable connections, verify power supply voltage switch, contact support if issue persists.
