Air pump silencers are available in metal (①) and plastic (②) versions (as shown below). While they serve the same function, and are washable and recycled, they are not interchangeable and are installed differently. Please follow the steps below to distinguish between them.

If you are a high-frequency processing user and would like to replace the air pump silencer with an external metal silencer, please contact the xTool service team to obtain a set of replacement parts.
The differences between the silencers are as follows:
Types | Material | Location | Maintenance level | Price | Denoise performance | Applicable scenarios | Lifetime (theoretical) |
Metal silencer | Metal | Near the gas cylinder | Easy | Expensive | Worse |
| About 360 hours |
Plastic silencer | Plastic | On the gas cylinder | Difficult | Cheap | Better |
| About 550 hours |
