Oh - and if you are making small jewelry items I really recommend the um2go over the um3. As of today you can't get .25mm cores for the um3 (although that will change) and the um2go is more precise and better quality in my opinion and perfect for small things. And cheaper.

Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,
Cura now supports Method series printers!
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse.

90% of 3mm filament is actually 2.85 to 2.9mm. Ask the manufacturer. 3mm is not necessarily a specification but a general size. However definitely ask the manufacturer as some manufacturers indeed make 3mm filament (mostly chinese companies) and it can get stuck in the bowden. You can buy a bowden from 3dsolex if you want which is a little bigger inside than Ultimaker's. Bowden's are cheap.
I never heard of wax filament - sounds fascinating. Looked just now - the print temp is only about 150C which is a minor problem - the UM2 will not extrude at that temperature as a safety feature. It's easy to turn this feature off. Ask about that on this forum after you buy your printer.
