Product Information

The latest offering of the Tarantula 3D do-it-yourself kit is the Tarantula Pro. Known for being both robust and easy to use, the Tarantula Pro offers a build volume of 235 x 235 x 250 mm. Plus, it works with a wide variety of filaments, including ABS, PVA, PLA, and WOOD. There’s a huge list of added features, like Manual Mesh Bed Leveling, the possibility of adjusting the screen brightness, tuned PID settings and custom menu colors.

Make sure you read the documentation carefully before flashing a custom firmware, to ensure that you understood all the steps needed, and you have the correct files at hand. It’s also important to format the SD cards as recommended in the flashing guide, for a successful firmware upgrade. Vertical LCD mount In this article I will cover some of my recommended Voxelab Aquila upgrades which should improve your printing experience while keeping the costs low. This printer is a staggeringly good value, professionally made quality product that has more functionality than the much vaunted Ender 3 v2. The TEVO Tarantula is the 1ST DIY kit 3D printer from the Chinese manufacturer TEVO. It has a construction volume of 200x 200x 200 mm and can be used with a variety of different filaments ranging from PLA, TPU, PETG, ABS, and many more. Also OctoPi? Only at staggering cost. A Raspberry Pi capable of running OctoPi is now just stupid expensive. It’s much cheaper and simpler to just buy a cheap secondhand Linux desktop computer and run Pronterface on it.

With its carbon crystal silicon build plate, the Aquila C2 ensures fast heating to 60℃ within minutes. This innovative plate provides strong adhesion and excellent bottom-layer print effects, enhancing the overall quality of your prints. The heat bed takes a little longer to warm up. You’ll reach 60 degrees Celsius in just under three minutes, however, it takes right at nine minutes for the unit to get to the 100 degrees Celsius mark. Power Consumption

Because the hotend is similar to what you get with a Creality 3D printer, I would recommend looking for a drop-in replacement like the NF-Smart CR-10, Trianglelab Spiral Tower or the popular Microswiss hotend. Any of these hotends should allow you to print higher temperature materials more reliably without having to service your printer that often. The Aquila C2 supports popular slicing software such as Cura, VoxelMaker, and Simplify3D. You can choose the software that suits your needs and start creating stunning prints with ease. Additionally, it is compatible with various filaments including PLA, ABS, and PETG, giving you the flexibility to explore different materials and achieve the desired results.

which nut specifically? I’ve searched around but I’m having trouble finding the right one for my c2 The Voxelab Aquila X2 feels like a printer that can’t quite decide where it should be positioned in the market. The silent stepper drivers and large color LCD screen would indicate a more premium machine, but the loud fans and sub-optimal software experience make this printer feel somewhat unfinished.

The Aquila 3D printer offers a 220 x 220 x 250 printing volume. This is what you might expect with a mid-tier printer, which is big enough for the majority of the items you’ll print. The printer bed runs on four V-slot wheels, which you can use to connect the aluminum extrusion. Once that’s done, the bed will be much more stable when you start printing. Printing surface

This Creality Ender 3 clone is really loud, without much to shout about.

You could do the same thing using a few screw nuts and a bit of patience, but the silicone bed mounts are quite cheap and will allow you to have your bed fixed much faster. 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. I covered the Octoprint installation in this article, so if you have a Raspberry Pi laying around, there’s no reason not to give Octoprint a chance because it’s an excellent addition in the free Voxelab Aquila upgrades list. You’ll love it! Wrapping up
