The Voxelab Aries has a cube-shaped design made of plastic that reminds me of the FlashForge Finder. The body of the printer is rigid and sturdy. On the front bottom of the printer is the large touchscreen and USB port. There is nothing worth mentioning on the left and right sides. On the back of the printer is the power jack and extruder. This type of glossy plastic is easily scratched and is also a magnet for fingerprints. The sides of the printer might come in handy if you plan to enclose the printer because of the small grooves. For example, you could apply adhesive aluminum foil to protect the print from possible drafts that could cause printing problems. Or you could cut acrylic sheets and glue them on. The Voxelab Aries looks like a CoreXY design, but uses the same Cartesian setup as the Ender 5, where one of the stepper motors moves the entire gantry on the Y-axis, including the stepper motor for the X-axis. The sides of the printer can be easily enclosed because of the small ribs. One could, for example, attach an aluminum adhesive foil to keep the print away from possible drafts that could cause printing problems. With the Voxelab Aries, we get the same type of hot air nozzle as the Voxelab Aries or other printers that use the same Creality-style PTFE-lined hot air nozzle. This means that the maximum safe print temperature is around 240 °C. If this temperature is exceeded, the PTFE hose will begin to degrade more rapidly, releasing harmful vapors and causing clogging. On the right side of the hotend is a 4010 radial fan for component cooling, and there is also a 4010 fan that keeps the hotend cool. This fan is off when the printer is idle, but when you start heating up the nozzle, it ramps up quickly and makes quite a noise, similar to the Voxelab Aquila.
