3.2 Smart Auto Leveling

The Aquila D1 features 25-point smart auto leveling. This system uses magnetic sensors to automatically adjust the printing platform height, ensuring the first layer is always even and accurate. This reduces printing failures and improves overall printing efficiency.

• Access the auto-leveling function through the touchscreen menu.
• Initiate the leveling process. The printer will automatically probe multiple points on the build plate.
• Wait for the process to complete before starting a print.

3.3 Caricamento e scaricamento del filamento

• Place the filament spool on the filament holder.
• Feed the filament through the filament sensor and into the direct extruder.
• Use the touchscreen menu to preheat the nozzle and load the filament until it extrudes smoothly.
• To unload, preheat the nozzle and use the menu option to retract the filament.

The filament sensor automatically detects filament run-out or breakage, pausing the print and allowing you to resume after replacing the filament.

The Aquila D1 supports a wide range of filaments, including PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, HIPS, and ASA, allowing for diverse printing applications.

4. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce prestazioni ottimali e longevità della stampante 3D.

4.1 Pulizia della piastra di stampa

• After each print, allow the build plate to cool down.
• Gently remove the flexible PEI sheet and flex it to detach the printed model.
• Clean the PEI surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue and maintain adhesion.

4.2 Manutenzione dell'estrusore e dell'ugello

• Keep the XY linear rails and dual Z-axis rails clean and free of dust.
• Apply a small amount of lubricant to the linear rails and lead screws periodically to ensure smooth movement.

5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Voxelab Aquila D1 3D Printer.

Q: Why is it difficult to clean the PEI platform when printing PETG?

A: PETG has a unique stickiness that can damage the PEI coating and affect the platform's lifespan. It is recommended to print on the backside of the platform when using PETG.

Q: What should I do if the printed model appears to be offset?

A: 1. Check the tightness of the synchronous belt to ensure it is correctly fitted.
2. Re-slice the model.
3. Reduce the printing speed.
4. Ensure the working environment temperature is between 15-30°C.

Q: What should I do if the filament does not come out when printing?

A: 1. Shorten the retraction length to avoid wear and tear.
2. Make sure that the nozzle is not clogged. If it is, use a needle to clear it.
3. Make sure the filament feed wheel is not stuck. If it is, please clean it up.

Q: What should I do if the screen turns black?

A: 1. Re-plug the screen cable to see if the screen can be restored to normal.
2. Refresh the firmware to see if the screen can return to normal.
