[Ultimaker 3 upgrade kit]

I'm annoyed my self I bought Ultimaker 2+ extended a month ago and now this I am so agrivated.

This ultimaker 3 was really a blow I am so annoyed specially that ultimaker 2+ is not cheap I could understand if it was like Flashforge or cheap as that but we talking about $3000.

A decent company would have announced 1 year ahead on the new release that would give time to customer, and for sure the ultimaker 2+ go gradually down in price, but no they wanted to make as much money then bam in your face

Wow this was a while ago, so not even a 2+. The 2+ is easily capable of producing as good if not better results. than these.

I print almost exclusively under 150 microns. Only in weird cases will I go greater (if its transparent material)

The general settings I use are:

210C +-10 degrees depending on layer height and speed.

60C bed

45mm/s

Really nothing all that special. How are your prints failing? maybe there is an underlying problem somewhere, I'm quite confident that a new UM2+ is able to produce these results out of the box.

 

 

Here's some 0.06 prints

In my experience,

0.04mm is even better quality (sorry no photo for now)

0.03mm and under, the quality actually starts to degrade compared to 0.04. But this could be due to my temperature not being correspondingly lower.

 

What slicer you use? can you please share your settings? I recently got Ultimaker 2+ and I use simplify3d yet I am still not had a successful print with simplify 3d under 150 micron.

I use colorfabb PLA

 

 

I been mostly failing getting the first layer to print good, what is been doing is making like gaps in the first layer then I had issue not filling between the lines, I increased the layer width and kept the layer height same, but only failing anything under 100 micron at 100 micron the printer works great, I still have to get use to it I guess I know its not the printer fault but just getting used to simplify3d with ultimaker together I used it for flashforge and Airwolf, and I have cube pro (which I hate so much)

Simplify3D is good because you can tweak it a lot, but it is not a magic thing to get good prints.

I mostly use Cura and print down to 0.04mm with a very high success rate.

 

I agree with you I like it and already bought it while back with my first printer

I recently bought Ultimaker 2 + and I am curious on settings, I use Simplify3d Slicer, if some one could help me understand resolutions vs speed and temp also the first layer setting and extrusion width.

I been having 100% failed on prints below 100 micron (0.1mm)

thank you
