4. Installation
The VOXELAB Aries is designed for quick setup, allowing you to begin 3D printing shortly after unboxing. Follow these steps for initial preparation:
- Déballage: Carefully remove the printer and all accessories from the packaging. Remove any protective films or shipping restraints.
- Attach the Glass Build Plate: Secure the carbon silicon crystal glass build plate to the heated bed using the provided clips.
- Assemble the Filament Spool Holder: Mount the filament spool holder to the designated position on the printer.
- Charger le filament : Insert the filament into the extruder's PTFE tube. The printer supports auto filament loading/unloading.
- Mise sous tension : Connectez le câble d'alimentation et allumez l'imprimante.
4.1 paramètres de langue
The factory default operating language is English. To change the language, for example to Japanese, follow these steps on the touchscreen:
- 1. Appuyez sur : [Paramètres] -> [Langue] -> Select your desired language (e.g., Japanese).
- 2. Once the language setting is complete, click the back button to return to the main screen.

5. Mode d'emploi
5.1 logiciels de découpage
Before printing, you need to prepare your 3D model using slicing software. The VOXELAB Aries is compatible with various slicing software, including Cura, Simplify3D, and Voxelmaker. This software converts your 3D model into G-code, which the printer understands.

5.2 Processus d'impression
- Préparer le modèle : Load your 3D model (.STL, .OBJ, etc.) into your chosen slicing software.
- Configurer les paramètres : Adjust print settings such as layer height, infill, print speed, and support structures.
- Découper et exporter : Slice the model and export the G-code file to a USB drive or send it directly to the printer via WiFi.
- Démarrer l'impression : On the printer's touchscreen, select the G-code file and initiate the print. The printer will preheat the nozzle and build plate before starting.
5.3 fonctionnalités avancées
- Détection de filament : The Aries is equipped with a filament run-out sensor. If the filament runs out during printing, the print will automatically pause, allowing you to load new filament and resume the print without failure.
- Fonction de reprise d'impression : In case of an unexpected power interruption, the printer can resume printing from where it left off once power is restored, preventing print failures and saving material.
- Connectivité Wi-Fi : Connect your printer to your local network via WiFi to monitor print status and control the printer remotely from your computer.

6. Entretien
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your VOXELAB Aries 3D printer.
- Nettoyage du plateau de construction : After each print, allow the carbon silicon crystal glass platform to cool. Once cool, models should detach easily. Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue and ensure good adhesion for subsequent prints.
- Entretien des buses : Periodically check the nozzle for clogs. If a clog occurs, use the provided needle or perform a cold pull to clear it. Replace the nozzle if it shows significant wear or damage.
- Lubrification: Apply a small amount of lubricant to the Z-axis lead screws and X/Y axis rods every few months to ensure smooth movement.
- Nettoyage général : Veillez à ce que l'imprimante soit exempte de poussière et de résidus de filament. Utilisez une brosse douce ou de l'air comprimé pour nettoyer les zones difficiles d'accès.

7. Dépannage
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your VOXELAB Aries 3D printer.
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Le filament ne s'extrude pas | Buse bouchée, filament emmêlé, température incorrecte. | Clear nozzle, check filament path, verify print temperature settings. |
| mauvaise adhérence au lit | Plateau non nivelé, plaque d'impression sale, température du plateau incorrecte. | Level the build plate, clean with isopropyl alcohol, adjust bed temperature. |
| Changement de couche | Loose belts, excessive print speed, motor issues. | Check and tighten belts, reduce print speed, inspect motor connections. |
| Bruit excessif pendant le fonctionnement | Loose components, worn fans, stepper motor noise. | Inspect for loose screws, consider fan replacement if noise is excessive. Note that some motor noise is normal for FDM printers. |
If you encounter issues not covered here or require further assistance, please refer to the support section.
