Does the Voxelab Aquila D1 3D printer work with SimplyPrint, OctoPrint, Mainsail and Fluidd?
Each way of connecting it, what it needs, and how to set it up.
Doesn't ship with Klipper: it runs Klipper after you install it in place of its own firmware, a modification
What works with SimplyPrint
Connected through OctoPrint, SimplyPrint is expected to support everything the Voxelab Aquila D1 lets other software do: the camera and AI failure detection, remote printing, temperature and movement control and AutoPrint. 3 features depend on how it's set up: the table says what each needs.

What slicer to use for the Voxelab Aquila D1
None of the slicers in SimplyPrint's cloud has a ready-made profile for the Voxelab Aquila D1, but it takes standard G-code: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Voxelab Aquila D1.
Cloud-Based Slicer for Voxelab Aquila D1
All supported slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your Voxelab Aquila D1 models from any device, anywhere in the world!
Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.
Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your Voxelab Aquila D1: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
The app for the Voxelab Aquila D1
Voxelab doesn't make an app for the Voxelab Aquila D1. SimplyPrint works as its app: on your phone and in any browser, with a slicer in the cloud.
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Voxelab Aquila D1 in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
Bed slingers are the easiest to automate
The Voxelab Aquila D1 moves its bed back and forth, so its plate comes out to the front of the printer. That's what plate swappers like these use: they take the finished plate off and slide a fresh one on. Without a kit, a G-code routine can push cooled prints off with the toolhead.

Voxelab was a budget 3D printer brand that described itself as a subsidiary brand of Flashforge, the Chinese printer maker. Online since at least late 2020, it sold low-cost Ender-3-style FDM printers (the Aquila series), resin printers, filament and resin, mainly online and with warehouses in several countries. In October 2026 its own web store does not load, and we found no printer currently sold by the company.

Open hardware in practice: Ender-3-style printers with Marlin-based firmware, standard parts and no cloud. What is missing is the company: its store and download centre are offline, so support comes from the community.
Firmware and custom firmware ●●●●●
Voxelab called the Aquila X2's firmware open source and published Marlin-based source for each Aquila model on its GitHub account (Voxelab-64), but as one-off uploads, the last in 2023. The community added its own Marlin builds, and upstream Klipper ships an Aquila config.
[7][5][8][9]
Local control and integrations ●●●●●
The Aquila printers have no cloud features: Voxelab lists SD-card offline printing as their connectivity, and they also run from OctoPrint, or from Klipper with Moonraker, on a computer you own; both document their APIs.
[5][8][11][12]
Third-party filament, slicers and parts ●●●●●
Any 1.75 mm filament; Voxelab listed Cura and Simplify3D alongside its own VoxelMaker (a renamed Flashforge FlashPrint, per Toms3D). The original Aquila uses a standard Creality-style hotend, so third-party parts fit.
[5][9]
Repairs and spare parts ●●●●●
Voxelab's store sold Aquila spare parts (mainboards, belts, nozzles, heating plates, feeders, motors). With the store offline, owners depend on Ender-3-compatible parts from other sellers.
[5][6][9]
Community and documentation ●●●●●
Voxelab's download centre and store are offline and its GitHub firmware repositories have not changed since 2023; help now comes from the unofficial community around the Ender-3-style design.
[3][7][6]
Pros
Cheap, simple printers built like the Creality Ender-3, so parts and upgrades are easy to find.
No account, app or cloud: prints from an SD card or a computer you control.
Marlin-based firmware source was published per model on GitHub.
Works with any 1.75 mm filament and common slicers such as Cura.
Cons
Voxelab's own store and download centre are offline as of October 2026.
We found no printer the brand currently sells.
In 2021 Toms3D found the original Aquila's thermal protection failed: the firmware froze while the hotend kept heating.
The firmware repositories are one-off uploads, last changed in 2023.
Track record
September 2025: From September 2025 the Internet Archive recorded server errors on voxelab3dp.com; on 18 October 2026 the site's security certificate had expired and the store did not load. We found no announcement from Voxelab or Flashforge about it.
[3][4]
August 2021: Thomas Sanladerer (Toms3D) showed the Aquila freezing while its hotend kept heating when the temperature sensor was shorted or unplugged, a failed thermal-runaway safeguard. His review indicates a later firmware update addressed it, while stressing that printers had shipped without working protection.

Is the Voxelab Aquila D1 compatible with SimplyPrint?
Most likely. We expect the Voxelab Aquila D1 to connect to SimplyPrint via OctoPrint, but nobody has confirmed it yet. If you have one, the setup guide shows within minutes whether it works, and your answer confirms it for everyone.
How do I connect the Voxelab Aquila D1 to SimplyPrint?
Follow our step-by-step setup guide for the Voxelab Aquila D1. It shows how to connect it via OctoPrint, what you need for each, and which to pick.
What slicer should I use for the Voxelab Aquila D1?
Cura, PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer all work with the Voxelab Aquila D1, and you can run any of them in SimplyPrint's online browser slicer - no install needed, on any device.
Can I use OrcaSlicer with the Voxelab Aquila D1?
Yes, but OrcaSlicer has no built-in profile for the Voxelab Aquila D1 that we know of: start from a similar printer's profile and set the bed size, height and nozzle to match.
What filament can the Voxelab Aquila D1 print?
Voxelab lists PLA, PETG, TPU & flexibles, ABS & ASA and Carbon-fiber & glass-filled for the Aquila D1.
Does the Voxelab Aquila D1 work with OctoPrint or Klipper?
The Voxelab Aquila D1 works with OctoPrint, and SimplyPrint connects to it through them - so you get cloud access, a queue and camera monitoring on top.
What is the Voxelab Aquila D1's bed size and build volume?
The Voxelab Aquila D1 has a 235 x 235 mm print bed and prints up to 250 mm tall, a build volume of about 235 x 235 x 250 mm. See the full specifications table above for bed type, temperatures and more.
When did the Voxelab Aquila D1 come out?
Voxelab launched the Aquila D1 in November 2022.
Can the Voxelab Aquila D1 eject prints automatically?
There's no kit for it that we support yet, but SimplyPrint's AutoPrint can push prints off with the toolhead, or run your own ejection G-code, and then start the next job from your queue.
