description Ultimaker 2+ Overview
The Ultimaker 2+ is a dual extrusion desktop 3D printer utilizing Bowden drive technology and heated build plates to produce parts from a variety of filaments, including PLA, ABS, and TPU, with resolutions up to 100 microns.
help Ultimaker 2+ FAQ
What size filament does the Ultimaker 2+ use?
The Ultimaker 2+ is specifically designed to use 2.85mm filament, which is slightly thicker than the standard 1.75mm used by most modern desktop printers. This provides more consistent extrusion for materials like PLA, ABS, and Nylon. You must ensure you are purchasing 2.85mm spools, such as those from the official Ultimaker material line.
Can the Ultimaker 2+ connect over Wi-Fi?
No, the Ultimaker 2+ does not have built-in Wi-Fi connectivity natively out of the box. Users typically transfer their G-code files via a USB thumb drive inserted directly into the printer. To achieve network printing, you would need to connect it via USB to a dedicated computer running software like OctoPrint.
What is the maximum print resolution and build volume of the Ultimaker 2+?
The Ultimaker 2+ is capable of printing at an ultra-fine layer resolution of up to 20 microns (0.02mm) for highly detailed models. Its build volume is 223 x 223 x 205 mm, making it suitable for moderately large prototypes. If you have the Ultimaker 2+ Extended version, the Z-height increases to 300mm.
How easy is it to upgrade or swap nozzles on the Ultimaker 2+?
One of the defining features of the Ultimaker 2+ is its Olsson Block, which allows users to easily swap nozzles without tools. You can quickly change between 0.25mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, and 0.8mm nozzles depending on your need for fine detail or faster print speeds. This modularity makes it highly favored by makers and engineering labs.
