Advice for a second Printer

KikoLobo · 2015-06-04T07:09:53.000Z

Hi all!

I am looking for advice on what second printer should I get. I have a Zortrax m200 and I like it a lot. It works great so far. And print quality is very good. I am limited to Zortrax filament which is a bummer…

What at would your second printer be? Would you buy an ultimaker 2, form 1+?, or what other would you consider. I am not so worried on ease of use. I can hack a few things. I am more worried about reliability, print quality and speed. I considered the Delta Wasp but they don’t have US support, so it seems that if something brakes I am on my own!! Any recommendations welcomed!!

@Mark_Smit Did you check out our Printer guide? Could be useful as well

However both Ultimaker 2 and Form 1+ are really good choices!

We love the Form1+, fantastic print quality and have had some great results with Ultimaker2 using ColorFabb filament.

Hi, I’m a WASP enthusiast, and also a reseller ans service… The WASP machines are incedible, but I understand your problem, and I am too far from you (I live in turin, Italy… http://www.cosmo3d.it/). I think that befor to choice a new machine, you must choice the print technology… Anyway if you want to buy a WASP, you’re werlcome in my office!

All the best to everybody.

Hi kiko,

I can say that you are not limited anymore by the Zortrax filament because there is this: http://www.z-temp.co/

If you are searching for a Delta type printer see this: http://www.atom3dp.com/en/atom2/#top

Cheers

Form 1 looks pretty awesome. Have you thought about building a RepRap printer?

I have an Ultimaker II, as a second printer I have a Kossel deltaprinter. Drawback of both printers they have that bowden tube, which is not ok when printing flex filaments. However the Kossel does have the coolness factor of a delta Third choice (I wish I had more time…) is the Hephestos. Good luck!

I think that one of the best 3D printer for quality and speed is the WASP Delta 20x40. You can see detail on the WASP website: www.wasproject.it.

I’m a Wasp reseller (http://shop.centroservizicomputer.it) and Wasp 3D Printer are fantastic, robust and can use all Printing material you want to try with no limits.

Thank you!

KikoLobo · 2015-06-05T02:28:25.000Z

It is very useful!! Loved it!

KikoLobo · 2015-06-05T02:30:03.000Z

Thank you! I visited Italy last year! Love your country!

How do you compare the quality of print and speed vs the Zortrax m200?

KikoLobo · 2015-06-05T02:30:29.000Z

Thanks for the recommendation!

KikoLobo · 2015-06-05T02:40:50.000Z

I do consider it, but I am looking for very high quality prints… Don’t know if there’s a good kit available

KikoLobo · 2015-06-05T02:41:47.000Z

Loved the Atom, but it seems like there’s no hot bed? How does ABS play without it?

KikoLobo · 2015-06-05T04:22:55.000Z

Do you have any experience with the ATOM. It looks really nice!

Cosmo3d · 2015-06-05T05:55:09.000Z

Sorry, I don’t know that printer, but I compared many prints, and normally DeltaWASP make the job better.

Precision and easy of use…

Anyway if you choice to buy a WASP I will help you in case of problems. Are you a newbie or your are an expert maker?

KikoLobo · 2015-06-05T09:12:57.000Z

Intermediate Maker. I know my way around electronics though.

Do you have a website? How can I contact you?

¿Do you have stock?
