I'm mainly interested in printing with nylon, which according to this reviews says the ultimaker+ can handle. http://www.makershed.com/pages/3d-printer-comparison

But the Ultimaker2 is supposed to be easiest to use out of the box, (and frankly I'd rather be using then hacking my printer).

I'm leaning towards the Ultimaker2 because I know that you can use bridge and t-glass with most printers, but I'm wondering if there are any gotchas, or concerns that I might not have thought about.

Has anybody had a bad experience with nylon on either one?

    Hi and welcome :)

    I never tried nylon myself. From what i know about it, it's not the easiest material to print with, the main difficulty is adhesion to the build plate i think. Some users are printing nylon here, they will give you better advise than me.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        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.
