Ultimaker 3 Reviews

4 Rating 1 Reviews

The Ultimaker 3 is the best Ultimaker yet. It is the perfect next step for Ultimaker Original and Ultimaker 2+ users, and it’s an outstanding choice for designers, engineers and educators who are looking to buy their very first 3D printer. An Outstanding 3D Printer for Designers, Engineers and Educators Offering a build volume of 215 mm x 215 mm x 200 mm when printing with a single extruder, and a build volume of 197 mm x 215 mm x 200 mm when using dual extrusion, the Ultimaker 3 gives you room to grow. The Ultimaker 3 prints quickly too, with a print speed of up to 24 mm³/s with a 0.4 nozzle, while offering excellent print quality. You can print at a layer height of 20-600 microns, so whether you want to create remarkably detailed models or super-fast prototypes, you can. The Ultimaker 3 also has an all-new dual extrusion system, which can 3D print at a temperature of up to 280 ˚C. Together with geared feeders, industrial-grade mechatronics and swappable print cores, this enables you to 3D print with a wider range of materials than ever before with outstanding results. You can print Nylon, PVA dissolvable support material, and a wide range of ABS and PLA filaments, as well as Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE). New Features The Ultimaker 3 is the first 3D printer in the Ultimaker range to have swappable print cores, which give you higher uptime and easier maintenance. This is also the first Ultimaker 3D printer to have automated bed levelling, a feature which automatically levels the z height of the bed for optimal adhesion. The Ultimaker 3 also has an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip integrated into the spool holder, which communicates with the NFC chip that’s built into Ultimaker 3 spools and then automatically adjust the print settings for that specific filament. Please Note: When printing with a single nozzle the build volume is 197 x 215 x 200mm

“Having been used to the UM2+ I found the UM3 easier to get on with. In comparison it is a massive improvement. The menu set up is a bit convoluted and I find that there are quite a few levels to it. The print quality is better than that of the 2+ (which is really good already). Changing filament or print cores is menu guided which will tell you what you need to do and when. They included a hot and cold pull procedure that is based on the fitted print core, it works really well. The PVA (BB) core is very well thought out. it is specifically designed for it and it markedly different to the AA cores. Printing with PVA is easy enough and as soluble support works very well. There are some quirks to get used to but just work through them and use the UM Community if you can't work it out but your patience will be worth while. Although on the high price side I still say it's worth it. It is a definite upgrade from the UM2+ and that's not taking into account the dual extrusion capability. The 4 star rating is mainly for the menu structure and the quirks. There are some units that for some reason don't start up but contact the supplier and this should be resolved. If you are considering one, then buy it. You won't be disappointed.”
