Voxelab Aries FDM 3D Printer, Industrial Grade Open Structure, High Precision Dual Z-axis Rail Extruder, 4.3inch Touch Screen,WiFi Printing and Resume Printing Function, Print Size: 7.87x7.87x7.87inch

This machine is amazing for beginners! Do some light reading on 3D printers because even though this machine is fairly plug-and-play, there are still tips and tricks to make your life A LOT easier. The machine itself is super easy to set up, it’s preassembled. It seems solidly made and high quality. I’ve printed about a dozen items out of this thing - some large, some small. I have had zero machine-based issues. All my issues were print setting issues. The Voxelab software is pretty bare bones and not very user friendly. But it’s fine if you’re literally just downloading Thingify files and sending them straight to the printer. I am going to try Cura next. Overall I couldn’t recommend this machine more! You’ll have a blast with it.

Yes it’s very easy to set up, but that’s the only good thing about this. To start, the filament doesn’t even come on a spool, it took hours to figure out how to get files that work onto it. Even after leveling and making sure it was on the right temperature, it still doesn’t print without it just balling the filament up. Multiple hours spent on this printer and still haven’t even been able to print the test objects that come on the flash drive. The manual doesn’t explain anything to you. Waste of money

My wife bought me the Ender3 V2. If you like to tinker, ok but i spent more time tinkering than printing. The motherboard burnt out in 2 months. So I wanted something easy that prints reliably. This printer has wifi built in no need for micro cards. No wifi any usb flash drive will work. The bed size is just a tad smaller than the Ev2 but not a big deal. You still have to learn a bit but the learning curve is tremendously less! I still am tinkering with the Ev2 because all the manual things and upgrades i had to do taught me a great deal but if I need something to be printed up quickly I go to this machine first. Personally I think it's under rated!

The media could not be loaded.  Prior to getting this 3D printer, I know absolutely nothing about this subject. But after a week of getting help and finally using it, I can comfortably talk about it a little bit.THE GOOD:--------------* Sturdy, solid, stout... that's how I would describe the Aries frame.* LCD interface is bright, and easy to understand.* Wifi connection, which allows you to send print files wireless, instead of copying files to a usb flash drive, then taking flash drive to the machine.* Wifi connection also means over the air updates. A screen will pop-up automatically when there are updates.* When you do it right, the prints come out awesome! Look at my pictures.* Nearly a 8x8x8 printing capacity is more than enough for any beginner.* Customer support is top notch. Good thing too because I needed it. They respond the very next day, every time I emailed them. They are a subsidiary of Flashforge, which should give you a peace of mind. Flashforge is deep in the game, with a huge community, they are not a fly by night.THE BAD:-----------* Some QC issues... I'm sure this won't happen to everybody, but the first unit I got had a defective LCD screen. It was blank. CS help me troubleshoot it for several days to no avail. I decided to get a replacement through Amazon, and the second one does not have this LCD issue.* However, second one did have other minor issues. The bed was crooked. Probably not a big deal to an experience user, but to a beginner, it's uncomfortable. But again, CS responds the very next day, showing me which screws to play with that would allow for adjustments, and so I was able to fix it.* Regarding leveling the bed... my experience was not as smooth as others have described. There is something quirky about the knobs. It would not raise or lower the bed. Clockwise should raise, counter-clockwise should lower. However, if the knobs have been way over-tighten at the factory, you may find that you'll need to do the opposite, as in clock-wise to lower, counter-clockwise to raise. Really hard to put into words, you'll just have to play with it if you run into this issue.* All the zip ties you have to cut! The big white ones were easy, normal cutting pliers work. But the cutting pliers are too big and thick for the smaller black ones that were zip-tied tightly to the belts. I'm surprised they didn't include any special cutters, or advice. The belts are below and against the rails too, so angle and vision is uncomfortable, so you have to be very careful. I found some tiny nose trimming scissors in the restroom that worked perfectly. But man, it is dicey. I can't believe Voxelab is risking their customers cutting off the belts by mistake. I mean this machine is targeting beginners after all.* Lastly, as mentioned, the machine is targeted at beginners, but I feel there is not enough hand holding in the manual for beginners. You will need to google and YT for info like I did. Hopefully, this review gives you a little head start.Here are some questions a newbie will have, which I had to research on my own:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1.) How do I create my own 3D files, or where I do I find 3D files to print?ANSWER: Unless you are a 3D designer, the first place to visit is Thingiverse. There are others, but this one is the most popular I believe. I think it's completely free. I haven't seen a file that requires money. I got my cricket file from here.2.) A 3d file, usually with the extension STL, needs to go through a SLICING program to create a print file that the 3D printer will understand. Voxelab gives you a software called Voxel Maker. I didn't know what it was, or what it does. I'm a newbie! Is it a modeling software, or a slicing software?ANSWER: Voxel Maker is a slicing software. So you can download files of objects you want to print from Thingiverse, then open those files into Voxel Maker. In order to print the file, you click on PRINT in the software, it will then prompt you to save the file with a GX extension. This is the file that is then saved to your flash drive and taken to the 3D printer, or send it over wifi.3.) In the Voxel Maker software, there are so many settings, so many parameters that you can tweak. What do I input for my file that I want to print?ANSWER: Basically, I don't touch most of the settings. But when you download a file from Thingiverse, there may be some notes instructing you to set up certain parameters. This is where I learned about SUPPORTS. The cricket file from Thingiverse talks about the need for SUPPORTS, but doesn't really explain anything. So then I google for more info. Basically, for something like my Cricket with limbs and legs in the air. If the filament doesn't cool down fast enough during printing, it can droop, so supports are extra filament printed in the forms of pillars, columns, etc to support your object. If you know what you're doing, you can custom add supports exactly where you want it. Luckily, in the Voxel software, there is something called AUTO SUPPORTS. That's what I clicked. LOL! The software then decided where best to add supports.4.) What is a RAFT or a BRIM? When I tried to save my cricket file to a GX file, it recommended that I add a raft or a brim. More stuff I had to google. Basically a raft is a layer of print that goes on the bed first, then your object will print on top of it. It helps with stability and adhesion. A brim is almost the same thing, but it's more of an outline of your object without any filament underneath your object. For my cricket, I chose brim. Not because I know one is better than the other, but since it's a choice, I just picked one to get on with it.IN CONCLUSION:--------------------Yes, this machine is for beginners. A clueless newbie, like me, was able to print a pretty cool cricket. But still, there is a huge learning curve if you want to go beyond printing other people's work. But printing other's work is absolutely where you should begin. And don't worry about all the settings and parameters in a slicing software. Think of it this way... when you grab a photo from the internet to print, your printer also has so many settings you can tweak, right? A professional photographer will know exactly what to tweak. Me and you, we just select best or normal ink. LOL! So that's essentially how I printed my cricket. I just ran it through the software, ignored all the settings, and only had to make decisions when there's a pop-up. I got a pop-up saying my print is off the platform, would I like it to be on the platform? Uh yes. I got a pop-up asking if I would like to add a Brim or a Raft... uh, don't know what that means, but a brim please. Ultimately, my cricket came out fine. I just had to peel away the "brim" and the "supports" to get the final product. What I'm saying is, don't be afraid of this machine. Just dive in! Learn about all the tweaks and settings as you go along.4-Stars. Docking 1 star for the initial QC issues. Cricket design in the pictures is by Cerberus333 hosted on the Thingiverse website.

The media could not be loaded.  Easy to use once you get familiar with the software. WiFi is iffy after it prints. You have to reset for the next print. Screen is a nice feature. Shows print item, time remaining, temps and speed. a great purchase overall.

Purchased this Voxelab Aries in July 2022. They offer a 12 month limited warranty. Unfortunately in my 13 th month, the printer lost ALL power mid print (which was fine). Replaced the power supply and nothing. Still no power. The filament sensor and Wi-Fi connection never worked properly. Then the usb port began to fail and lastly the whole printer is shot. It not worth putting more money into. Buy a reliable brand like Elegoo.

This is my first 3D printer and I am obsessed! We have 5 grandkids and I have made special gifts for each one of them. It is easy to use, and leveling the bed is the most simple thing ever. I have had no issues with this printer, it always produces beautiful prints. If you are looking for something simple to use that can print relatively large items - this is a great choice, especially for the price.

Es muy fácil de usar y tiene buena calidad, solo no te permite personalizar muchos ajustes

Ich muss sagen ich habe diesen Drucker schon einige Zeit wenn man sich mit dem Programm und den Materialien auskennt muss ich sagen kann man nichts verkehrt machen habe mir natürlich auch die schlechten Bewertungen angeguckt und war erst am zweifeln ob ich dieses Produkt überhaupt kaufen sollte da ich als Anfänger auf Nummer sicher gehen wollte aber ich muss sagen dieser Drucker ist top er läuft rund um die Uhr bei mir zuhause und hat bis heute keine Probleme gemacht falls die Haftung vom Bett nicht so dolle ist einfach etwas iso drauf machen und es haftet Bombe einzig ein bisschen Software Probleme bezüglich wlan aber das Stör mich nicht ein beiligender usb Stick hilft ansonsten oder man macht das Gerät kurz an und aus und lässt sich neu verbinden dann geht es wieder Ich denke das wird noch behoben Ton Gerät Vorallem auf deutsch nach dem ersten updaten des Gerätes kann diesen Drucker nur empfehlen wenn man schnell unkompliziert 3d drucken möchte in dem Max 200x200x200 drucken möchte kauft ihn euch 👍👍

stampante valida, estrusore molto valido

This is one of the easiest 3D printers to set up and get running.Took me all of 10 mins to remove from the box, cut off the cable ties securing the moving parts, level the print bed, load in the free filament sample, and start a print.A very nice and simple 3D printer for young & old that are new to 3D printing. Highly recommended for the simple but robust design as well as good quality prints.

Es la primera vez que uso una impresora 3D y me ha resultado muy fácil imprimir con esta impresora, solo tuve unos pequeños problemas al principio en lo que aprendía a configurarla pero ya agarrando le la onda las impresiones me salían muy bien, la interfaz es muy sencilla y casi todo lo que mando a imprimir lo hago desde su software voxelmaker, antes probé con Acura pero al empezar a comparar me dio mejores resultados VoxelmakerDefinitivamente recomiendo esta impresora, es fácil de usar, el soporte así como le mandas mensaje de cualquier duda o problema te contestan a los 15 minutos y la calidad de impresión es muy buena 10 de 10.
