4.1. Intelligent 25-Point Auto Leveling
The Aquila S3 features an intelligent 25-point auto-leveling system. This function automates the bed leveling process, significantly reducing the time and effort required compared to manual leveling. Simply initiate the auto-leveling process through the printer's interface, and the printer will probe 25 points on the build plate to create a mesh for accurate printing.

4.2. High-Temperature Direct Extruder
Equipped with an all-metal dual-gear direct drive extruder and a brass nozzle capable of reaching 300°C, the Aquila S3 supports a wide range of filaments including TPUP5A, ABS, PLA, PETG, and allows for expansion to carbon fiber materials. The direct drive system provides strong extrusion force for smoother filament feeding and better control over flexible filaments.

5. Техникалык тейлөө
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and consistent performance of your 3D printer. Perform these tasks periodically:
- Курулуш плитасын тазалаңыз: After each print, clean the build plate with isopropyl alcohol to ensure optimal adhesion for subsequent prints.
- Соплолорду тазалоо: Use the included needle to clear any clogs from the nozzle. If clogs persist, consider replacing the nozzle.
- Кыймылдуу бөлүктөрүн майлоо: Periodically apply a small amount of lubricant to the Z-axis lead screw and other linear rails to ensure smooth movement.
- Курдун тартылышын текшерүү: Ensure that the X and Y-axis belts are properly tensioned. Loose belts can lead to print quality issues.
