Ultimaker 2+

Best 3D printers should provide flawless print quality, and simplicity of functioning at the same time. An example of solid printing devices that meet the criteria are devices offered by Ultimaker company, one of the best known manufacturers in the world. Therefore it’s worth to consider buying this type of device, even though its price isn’t the lowest.

Functionality and speed of work in your home

The printer is based on a mechanism known as Bowden extruder which is a part of the frame. It ensured a smaller mass and higher speed of the printing head. Which allows faster and more effective work of the printing device.

The original version of Ultimaker was designated for user’s own assembling. Ultimaker 2+ has been improved and deprived of wooden elements. The printer was made from plastic and dibond, and the user receives it already assembled. The device has smaller dimensions and more aesthetic look, so it surprised not only with work speed, but also with stylish and elegant design, which for many users isn’t least important.

The characteristic feature of the device is its careful make and care for each detail. A practical knob helps use it. Ultimaker 2 Plus has compact size and it will serve rather for individual, not commercial purposes, but it isn’t hard to imagine the equipment’s use for everyday office activities.

Important elements of the printer

Ultimaker 2+ model has been fitted with a useful LCD display, a heated working table with a pane, and a lit working chamber. It has a connection with SD card and a USB cable. Owing to a very clear control panel the printer is very simple to use. Warming up the working table usually takes as long as in other 3D printers, but it’s a less important detail. Ultimaker 2 Plus uses RepRap software, which was supplied with one the best available on the market drivers for cutting models in 3D technology.

The Ultimaker 2+ drawbacks

Basically the device should work without fault. The only disadvantage is the fact that when we turn up the work speed, we lose the print quality; but that’s a consequence present in practically all models of 3D printers. So if you care about a satisfactory quality, it’s better to wait for the print. Unfortunately, the device’s price can also be considered its drawbacks, which has already been mentioned. Because it’s around $2500, which for a home user (the device is dedicated mostly for private users) makes a rather high level. The device will do well for customers who print in 3D relatively often, and they treat the activity seriously and professionally. To the real fans of 3D printing the price will not seem astronomical, and besides the expenditure will surely pay back shortly.

Customers opinions

Ultimaker 2+ receives favorable opinions and recommendations of many satisfied users. It’s appropriate both for professionals, and for those who start their adventure with 3D printing.
