I'm looking to upgrade from my current 3D printer

Posted (edited) · I'm looking to upgrade from my current 3D printer

I'm currently using a Ender 3 v.2 and I'm looking to upgrade to something that will let me do more/larger prints. I've had enough of the manual leveling system and I want the next printer to be auto leveling as well as I wanna see about doing high definition prints like what I see from resin printers. I know I probably can't get the best of both worlds and I understand I might be getting 2 printers instead of 1, but this post is just here to see what anyone who might be using could share their recomendation.

    Well you asked this question on a UltiMaker Community.. I would look into the UltiMaker S3 or S7.
    If this out of your budget, you should probably ask somewhere else.

    Do you need dual extruder printer ? If so, well, there is not much available at "ok-price" as a desk printer. I have a UMS5 that I can hardly recommend, but I admit that I don't know much about other dual extruder desk printer.

     

    If you don't, then go check some Youtube video about recent printers, there is a bunch really really cool, and you'll probably end up with a BambuLab machine. Don't by a Ultimaker printer if you're not extensively using dual extruder.

     

    Precision won't really exceed 0.05mm and is not worth it either. 0.06-0.1mm is enough for me for most application, even when I need some visual. But it's not Resin-tier precision.

      • 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.
