ALL3DP review of the new Ultimaker 2+

[bulentyusuf]

Hi Folks,

Forum regulars might be interested to read my review of the new Ultimaker 2+ for ALL3DP.

https://all3dp.com/ultimaker-2-plus-review/

It’s a bit of a long read, so apologies for that, but the gist of it is that it’s a very impressive upgrade to the Ultimaker 2, particularly the new material feeder and the redesigned cooling system. My only quibble is that these changes are evolutionary rather than revolutionary (but I guess that’s why it’s called an Ultimaker 2+ and not an Ultimaker 3).

Would be great to hear your comments and feedback, and how we can better improve our reviewing methodology for the future. There’s not enough in-depth testing of 3D printers in the technology press at the moment, and we’d like to rectify that.

Thanks for listening,
Bulent

Excellent review!

I feel kind of sad now-I was going to build myself an Ultimaker 2 Aluminum Extrusion, but there’s a few more things I’d need to buy now to get it up to par with the Plus.

Excellent review, very professional. If I was to become more interested in the Ultimaker 2+ would not mind some links to extended portions of what I would term as a brief review.

Thanks Bulent

Thanks Chuck! Which bits would you like to see expanded? I can update the review at a later date for long-term test notes.

Thanks Karl! If it helps any, the Ultimaker support team can tell you exactly which additional parts you’ll require.
