Ultimaker 2+ Height-Axis print speed


Recommended Posts

Posted · Ultimaker 2+ Height-Axis print speed

I'm searching for data on what is the Print Speed (Build Speed) for Ultimaker 2+ or Ultimaker 3 in mm/h?

This data should be height-axis print speed, or how much mm in height (Z-axis) can Ultimaker make within one hour.

I'm aware that this value depends on layer height, but It seams I can't find anywhere official info regarding this build speed, or how to calculate it (other than measure it).

I would appreciate if you could share it with me, or point me out how to calculate it.

Also if you have already done measurement feel free to share your results ;)

    lots of parameters to be considered here (maybe to many to get to an answer ?)

    • nozzle diameter and type (example brass, stainless steel or even ruby tipped)
    • type of materiel
    • even variety of print head I can think of at least three for the UM2
    • heat capacity of the head heater (two or three variants for the UM2)
    • the list goes on and on .....

    then you will need to consider the build quality/detail resolution you want to achieve, as the absolute best build quality starts with a small nozzle and is better if printed slowly

        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.
