3d print
Along
with our recent announcement of the Ultimaker 2, we are now stocking
the Ultimaker 2 Go and Extended. Meaning that whatever your needs are,
we can accommodate them with Ultimaker.
Only recently did Ultimaker announce the
2 sister models for the classic Ultimaker 2. Named the Ultimaker 2 Go
and Extended, they aim to fill the gaps left by the original model –
namely affordable portable 3D printing, and large printing for design or
industrial purposes.
The Ultimaker 2 Extended
is the perfect choice for businesses or designers looking for the
highest quality possible and a huge build size. The Extended has massive
30cm of vertical printing space, whilst maintaining the 20 micron layer
height of the Ultimaker 2. Like the other models, the Extended uses a
Bowden extruder system, which means the printer is capable of extremely
high print speeds with minimal effect on quality.
The Ultimaker 2 Go
is the perfect option for makers who want to enter the world of 3D
printing with a low investment, but the high quality you expect from
Ultimaker. This model has a smaller build volume of 12 x 12 x 11.5 (cm),
and also uses a Bowden extruder. It also comes packed in a re-usable
carry case, making it very easy to transport.
There are only 2 main differences
between these printers – size is the obvious one, but the other main
difference is that the Ultimaker 2 Go does not have a heated build
plate. The aim of this is to decrease the time it takes to begin
printing, lower the weight/increase portability, and of course, lower
costs. The downside is that this reduces the versatility of the printer
slightly – ABS and several other materials require a heated build plate
to print optimally. However, the Ultimaker 2 Go is still capable of
beautiful PLA prints.
