Anyone that has the raise3d n2 plus and Ultimaker 3.

I’m strongly considering the raise3d n2 plus and Ultimaker 3.

Can you please tell me what you like and dislike about the machine?

I will be primarily printing nylon, ABS, and rubber like materials which the UM3 can’t do but the UM2+ can

I too would like to know. I keep coming back to the Raise3d N2/N2 plus because of the build volume, but my friend keeps saying Ultimaker 3. The Ultimaker 3 would be more on top of my list if the x and y were larger and I feel that the Ultimaker price shouldn’t be as high as it is.

Andrew we are in the exact same boat

I have the raise n2 plus. I really like it overall. I have not ever used the 2’ print volume but it is nice that it is there. I have gotten nylon to work. With a volume this size it means I can have a 2 day print easily. I have found on 2 day prints I need to use the raise filament which takes awhile to get in. The review in Make magazine is spot on. The one dual print that I saw from the Raise was good but could be crisper.

Hi there

Strongly recommend the N-series, we have owned literally countless other 3d printers from UP 3d Printers, Ultimakers, Makerbots and none of them can match the N-Series capabilities, we are a serious manufacturing business who rely heavily on our machinery 24/7, the N-series are work horses for serious makers and manufacturers. Thats my 2 cents, hope it helps

Also, the Raise3d n2/n2+ has an enclosure for ABS printing. Ultimaker says an enclosure is important, but won’t supply one for the UM3.

Hey, what did you end up going for in the end? I currently have the UM3 and will be picking up the N2+ in a few days, so will give my low down then!

Thanks

Callum

I went with the n2 plus and I love it I have a large variety of materials, just build size, I can change the nozzles from .4 to .8, and good quality The only downside is the leveling which I’ve only did twice in several months

Update: Ultimaker has added an official door for the UM3. Too late for my purchase decision.
