In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the Voxilab Aquila 3D printer, which is highlighted as the best cheapest 3D printer available. The printer boasts features like a heating bed, a carbon crystalline silicone glass platform, a resume print function, and a metal body. It offers a printing size of 22 by 22 by 25 centimeters, a maximum nozzle temperature of 255 degrees Celsius, and operates with a bowden tube extruder. The Aquila is open-source, allowing for flexible upgrades and works with a variety of filaments, with PLA being recommended initially. It comes partly unassembled but provides a detailed video guide for assembly. The printer offers great features, customer service, technical support with a 12-month warranty.

In this segment of the video, the narrator discusses three 3D printer options. The first printer is the Kitty X12, which is a closed printer with a top opening, a heated bed, and supports various filaments. It comes with a touch screen and offers good customer support; however, it has a smaller print size and limited upgrade options. The second printer is the Longer LK5 Pro with an impressive print size of 30x30x40 cm, a full-color touch screen, and a bowden drive extruder. It has a filament detector, resume print option, and enhanced cooling system. The third printer is the Focus 3D Printer, highlighted for its fast assembly and direct drive extruder allowing for printing with various filaments, despite potentially less stability.
