Ultimaker 2 Extended Review

Linus Tech Tips shares their experience!

(Looks like they had some stringing going on with their earlier prints but, being new to printing, overcame some hurdles!)

Ha, that was a pretty accurate video. I've had my Ultimaker 2 Extended for about 2 months now, and experienced some of the same issues. But going through the learning curve and figuring out how to model things to print well, along with getting my settings tuned in to what I'm printing, has led to some GREAT prints.

I kind of disagree with him that it's not a beginner-level 3D printer. Maybe for cost reasons it might not appeal to hobby-level beginners, but as far as using the machine, I think it's been very easy. I didn't have any 3D printing experience before I got it, and had heard all kinds of horror stories about how difficult it would be. But it's been a very good machine.
