Comment on Upgraded my Voxelab Aquila today to a PEI bed

  Oh hmm… that are quite a few:

  • Satsana Fan Shroud (made by myself for 2x 4010 Noctua Fans)
  • new PowerSupply Cover for bigger Fan and better ventilation
  • riser feet (because the PSU fan needs more room and so air can better flow underneath)
  • Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint mounted in the free section in the printer
  • cablesupport against accidental breaking of the micro USB cable connecting printer and raspberry
  • arm for holding my webcam (also connected to Raspberry)
  • cablechain (had to remove the original cableguard due to the fan modifications)
  • the PEI printbed
  • side spool holder (originally on top. Bad angle for the standard Extruder as filament gets bend and damaged)
  • display tuck (plan on putting my printer into an enclosure and with this it gets a little thinner)
  • Z-Axis Guide on top, so that it’s a bit more sturdy

  I think that’s all.

  Future modifications:

  Today I ordered an full metal dual gear Extruder and direct drive mount. That comes with removing the spool holder from the side and attaching it on the top again to keep an optimized angle for filament flow. Also I will probably have to redesign my Satsana fan shroud in order to make the direct drive fit.

      You’re welcome! If you are interested in specific parts I could possibly post a link to it.

        The fan shroud is particularly interesting, also, when I tried to set up octoprint to with my Aquila it had issues with producing balls of material all over the print - have you run into this issue at any point?
