somewhereinla 2 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 in Hi, From Pasadena CA Hi, I am impentiently awaiting my Ultimaker 2 (should get here on Wednesday) which will replace a Makerbot replicator (first gen). The makerbot has been great for learning, but getting a good print requires a lot of babysitting and constantly tweaking the machine. I am hoping that the ultimaker 2 will give me more time printing and less time tweaking. I have not printed with PLA before ( only ABS ), so new experience there. For 3d I use C4D, Rhino and solid works. cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
