XStrand with Ultimaker 2+ usage

[domenick_s 3]

Can XStrand be used with the Ultimaker 2+ ? What if any mods are necessary?

In general there are hardly any limits to the masterials you can use on an um2. probably the biggest limit is use of materials that need a very high temperature (fe peek..)

 

In the case of Xstrand and other "filled" materials you better use a hardened nozzle, like a 0.6mm Olson ruby. Filled materials can also wear out you feeder, so if you want to use a lot of filled materials you may want to upgrade the feeder to a bondtech.

@ultiarjan

Thank you for the info. I will do the change over as soon as i secure an order using the XStrand material.

Thank again.
