New Ultimaker Printer 2020?

[CalebPetersenPhD 0]

Hi, any rumors if Ultimaker will be coming out with a new printer this year?  They released the S5 in fall 2018 and S3 in fall 2019...

 

Thanks!

I heard a rumor that there is a pandemic that force also Ultimaker into the home office which might delay new things... 😉
There is one new UM product for sure this fall: Ultimaker Essentials.

 

edit: The launch of the Ultimaker S5 was btw. in May 2018, not fall...

Rumours you can start yourself 😉

Anyhow, there haven't been any official statements or teasers so far. This doens't mean that it wont happen of course...

Pssst! It is still a secret, but I have already seen a shop who has listed the new CC green (Cleaning Cores) for the vacuum cleaner. One for carpets and the other one for hard floors.

You guys are terrible for getting my hopes up 😜  Ok, makes sense we probably won't see a new printer this year.  I'd love to be proven wrong though 🤩

You know i'm not supposed to talk about it. But it is nice to make a product where "it sucks" is a feature!

I would love to hear the rumour about a drop in core,  bowden and feeder mod to handle continuous fibre.  The print core concept can do so much more.

I just read a rumour about a drop in core, bowden and feeder to handle continuous fibre.

LOL! Well in fact 9T labs used to have a modification for one Ultimaker printer, I believe the Ultimaker 2+, that could lay down continuous fiber much like the MarkForged. However, they switched to a different printer now for their final product, and the whole thing is hugely overpriced if you ask me.

 

Then again, so is the MarkForged, especially considering how crappy their slicer is and how little customization there can be.  $15k for $800 worth of hardware? Nah

I just want to be the one who is responsible for this:

 

 

Congratulations!
