WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE BUNDLE
- Ultimaker 2+
- 12 Ultimaker PLA
Ultimaker has developed a global reputation and following for having printers that work very well and require very little tinkering. The well designed print head on this printer will quietly and accurately build your creation with an accuracy of 20 microns. This leads to a printed part with a very smooth finish without highly visible print lines. The heated bed allows you to print with a variety of materials and rarely needs to be re-calibrated. Start printing large parts today with a build volume of 9 x 9 x 8 inches. This printer comes standard with a 12 month warranty so you can rest easy and know you're covered.
Designed to Simply Work
Once you pull your Ultimaker 2 + out of the box, you're ready to start printing. The Ultimaker 2 + comes with a radial scroll wheel which allows you to make temperature and print speed adjustments during your print. You'll never have to worry about long print jobs - this machine was designed and tested to finish the job without failed prints.
Plenty of Accolades
The original Ultimaker 2 was the winner of the 2014 "Best in Shootout" category from Make Magazine for “Undisputed best scores in print-quality tests”. This machine is also the Editors Choice for PC Magazine, the "Most Wanted 3D Printer" for 3D Hubs, and was rated "Best Consumer Product" by 3D Printshow.
