Form 2 printer is aweome for other options in materials! My form 2 never fails when it comes to high res 3d print. Mainly do prints for universities and engineering prototypes! But its not a cheap printer to run, you pay for what you get!
We had a Stratasys Mojo where i used to work. It has been running almost 24-7 for years, being operated by a dozen different users and has been a trouble free workhorse
Dear Jessica,
i responded few minutes ago but I cannot find it in chain.
I was suggesting to send me email and I will provide my private mobile number that we can talk about our experience. We already working with scoops in Missisipi and we will be very happy to assist you. Yes, Zortrax is very capable and we have 5 of those as of last night. I’m not trying to sell you anything, simply exchange experience.

I gave them a call tonight. The person I spoke to was very helpful and kind but unfortunately could not speak to the specific issues I was referring to above - production printing at a high volume - since they are education rather than production-based.
Hi Jessica,
I understand your pains completely. The comments from earlier in the thread talk about how the Ultimaker is not very good since it is a Bowden drive set up. They are somewhat right. I had two Ultimaker 2’s. They were ok, but since then I’ve upgraded them to the Ultimaker 2+ versions and they have been rock stars ever since. Not only are they more reliable, but I can print basically twice as fast. This is important because my business not only does product design and prototyping, but we 3D print products that we sell to consumers. If 3D printing directly to consumer doesn’t tell you about the reliable quality, then I don’t know what will. Like I said in the earlier post too, we run these things all day and night. This is all done with the Ultimaker 2+. Currently we stock over 20 different materials that the Ultimaker 2+ uses flawlessly. We have several machines in our farm and they work great.
I say this and I don’t work for Ultimaker, don’t sell for Ultimaker, and have no contacts at Ultimaker directly. My business does sell the best filament on the market if you are interested though :). We’re just passionate about 3D printing more than anything!
Thanks,
Justin

We lost all our videos we took when we had a company use one of our machines for a mini production run, but here is an interview with the engineer that used the machine
You can contact us at info@gizmo3dprinters.com.au and we can have a chat. If you look at our YouTube channel you will see many many live streams proving we can do production runs on our machines.
Sorry Jessica. Wish I could have helped you more. We don’t care for extruder based printers : ) Haven’t had any luck with them. Too mechanical in nature and prone to breaking.
We do however LOVE our GiziMax dlp sla printer. Less working parts and less problems. It’s the future! My husband went to U of A. Go Wildcats!
I woul recommend the N2 or N2+ from Raise3D. It’s a closed 3d printer how can reach 300 °c . It can work 100 hours without any check and the precision is really impressive.
