  • Small footprint, High quality 20 micro prints, Fantastic Cura software
  • Limited filament compatibility, Hit and miss with fast print speeds, No heated bed
  • This smaller version of the Ultimaker 2 features a reduced sized unheated print bed limiting the printer to use with PLA, but for many this sacrifice of materials and print size could be well worth it for the far more compact footprint...

  • High maximum resolution, Excellent build quality, Easy to maintain and repair
  • Expensive, Struggles with certain fine details
  • The Ultimaker 2 has built up quite the reputation in the three years it's been available, and after using one for the better part of a month, we can say with confidence that it definitely lives up to that reputation. The prints are fast, detailed, and...

  • Elegan, Apple-like design Very-high-quality prints Works with both PLA and ABS filament materials Can print quickly (at low quality)
  • Expensive Offers only a single extruder
  • The Ultimaker 2 is a well-built, sophisticated 3D printer that produces high-quality prints in a variety of materials. But it isn't cheap. Who it's for: Artists or engineers who need quick, rough prints and slower, higher-quality prints in both...
