Final thoughts on the Aquila X2
Looking at the comparison between the Aquila and the Aquila X2, there doesn’t seem to be that much of an improvement, really. The major differences are the X2 has a carry handle and a filament sensor. Everything else is the same as the original! It would have been good to see a touch screen and perhaps dual Z rods (Although not necessarily needed with this size of 3D printer).
If you are contemplating on which model to get out of these 2, just go for whatever is cheaper they will both perform exactly the same!
