It looks pretty and amazing as well as pretty amazing, but as you can see in the "use cases" section, it's an all-round compromise. It does everything OK. Which is fine, really. If you are after precision or quality surface finish then you will have a hard time with that machine, though. I need both; precision and surface finish.

So far I have not found a 3D printer that has made me think, "Oh I wish I had bought that one instead of the Ultimaker". The day I do think that that, I will buy it.

    The dual extruder is a mixing single nozzle. Like the e3d Cyclops, BUT they say their software can do "experimental limited material mixing".

    That sounds fun to play with. But not at that price.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
