Thanks for all of the suggestions guys...you've been a great help! I've managed to get a decent print off in a reasonable time frame...so I'm happy Layer height: 2.5mm Shell Thickness: 1.2mm Print Temperature: 240C Print Speed: 50mm/s Brim: 10 lines I also printed it vertically which allowed me to print it hollow...so saved on quite a bit of filament! Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestions! I purchased the Ultimaker 2 today and have been testing today. Printed the Robot sample which I was very impressed with! However having issues printing the cuboid. The first layer sticks without any issues - but the next 3-4 layers are troublesome. The infill layers do no seem to be sticking to each other that well and the walls/shells are being pulled in/collapsing. I was printing at 0.4mm layer height with 0/8mm shell thickness. Is this pushing the Ultimaker too far? I'm just testing with 0.25mm layers with 0.5mm shells. Printing speed is at 100mm/s with travel speed at 150mm/s. I'll post results of my next print!

Hi, I'm looking to purchase an Ultimaker 2 but need to be sure that it can print cuboids of the above dimensions! The cuboid does not need to be solid and not of great quality - can be of very low density (ie 5%). But the cuboid would also need to be completely enclosed - no holes. I've been playing around with a Da Vinci 1.0a (!) and it has really struggled to print these cuboids (only prints in ABS) - suffers really bad with warping and the software does not allow infill,wall thickness or bed temps to be customized much...brims and rafts have very little effect too. Would anyone be able to give their opinion on how the Ultimaker 2 would handle printing these cuboids please? And what would be the best settings to use in Cura? Thanks in advance! Tom
