Thank you for this, got my son one of these for Christmas and we have zero experience with 3d printers. Tried a test print and it was just a goobered mess. Followed your directions for leveling the bed and now it's printing the test file fine 👍👍

This is THE definitive assembly video. I used it on my first 6 mos. ago, and just bought an Aquila for a nephew and pointed him to it. Your extra considerations in checking frame level, etc. make this superior.

Vlad, this is an outstanding video. Not one bit of wasted time. So many people will refer to it for years to come. Great job!

[deletedwaffles]

I love that you use the printer to make things for the printer itself to work better.

[gregorypape]

I just received my Aquila and I found this video. Now I feel like I know exactly what I will need to do. Thanks, Vlad! Excellent video!

[derpymunchmunch]

[etvurd]

I don't care if the video is so long, it's so useful!!

[carlowashington]

Thank you! I would not have been able to setup this printer without your video.

[davidrobbins]

Thanks for doing such a thorough job here explaining how to setup these. I'm printing what looks like my first successful print because of your help.

[mikeypotts]

I think this is the most helpful video I’ve ever watched. Thank you so much I would have absolutely no idea what to do without your video

[Juan_lauda]

Without this video my printer would just be junk in a box.
Thank you.

[erfanatic]

First time printer and so happy I found ya! Had me up and test printing right away. Thank you

[crazyman]

I came here from the "official" assembly video, and this does not disappoint. Many things hit on here even before assembly that the official didn't even bother to mention, let alone the insanely vague manual.

[debrabakeman]

Thank you so much of all the videos I started watching yours took me all the way through completion along with following my booklet that came with my 3-D printer and Wala I have built it.

[locarshobbies]

This has been by far, the best assembly, setup and review i have seen, thank you very much thank you im getting my printer on sunday, and i cannot wait.

[ElKymbo]

Thanks for this mate. Myself and my little dude put this together with the help of your video and there was some excellent tips from you that we wouldn't have picked up from the instructions. Tops work champion much appreciated.

[scottpalmer]

Thank you for this video. I used this video to put mine together. I looked at the manual maybe 3 times.
You explained everything really well.

I recently got the X2 of this model and it been great as my 1st 3d printer. Excellent build guide and very thorough. Would like recommend moving the nozzle when levelling to approximately where the screw meets the bed, it's given the most consistent results. Only thing I've upgraded is a printed side mount off thingiverse, the ptfe tube to a capricorn type with my rc car body clips which happens to fit like a glove on the coupler.

Update: Do not. I repeat, do not get an Aquila X2 or any Aquila's with H32 board. After sales and support horrendous, partial refund is a trick to get out of warranty obligations. Now owning Aquila X2, Ender 2 Pro and Flsun SR no 3d printer in this day and age should be sold without auto bed leveling and pei flexible bed. Don't try and save a few dollars, save yourself blood, sweat and teats and get whatever's the best deal that comes with A. auto bed level B. PEI flexible sheet and maybe direct-drive for the money. Right now if I had to buy a cartesian bedslinger it's be the Anycubic Kobra or Ender S1 depending if I want value an updrade path. No more bed slingers for me now that X1 Carbon/M5 is on coming up soon
