Hi,
i’ve been looking for a New 3D printer because my old one is too slow.
I’ve decided to buy a printer that has to print faster (minimum 200mms).
I’ve been looking around for a while and I found those: (these match my budget (+-440$) and requirements)
1. Brand new - Flsun qqs pro
has a great print speed of 200mms etc.
2. Old Pre-used (2017) ultimaker 2+
has a better print speed of 300mms??
I mostly want the ultimaker, but I’m afraid that since it is old and the seller states it has been used a lot, that the whole thing will begin to break down and cost me a lot in repairs.
But the ultimaker is 150$ cheaper, so I could spend them on upgrades/ repairs for the printer so it will hold many more years.
But as a total noob I don’t know if that would be a good/ realistic solution.
do you guys think I could “save” the printer and make it work as good as new for the next few years?
what do you guys think, which option would be the best? Or do you have a better solution?
Best regards

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.
