we've been using our ultimaker 2 for over a year now and in that time we've
printed everything from GoPro mounts to RAM storage trays to projectiles for a
vacuum Cannon it's an incredibly useful tool but it has left us wanting not
being able to print models with complex overhangs multiple materials or colors
and the need to set up a janky webcam rig to monitor prints when we're away
from the office has been frustrating then there's the performance issues the
main one that we ran into was with the feeder the hot motor was too close to
the thermally conductive gears meaning that instead of moving the filament the
gears would also melt the filament and it's these types of issues that well
outside of the Monstrous cost are a big part of what's preventing 3D printing
from reaching the mainstream right now let's see what ultimaker is bringing to
the table with their third generation ultimaker 3 which they claim makes
professional 3D printing accessible
the B quiet purebase 600 features a versatile design noise isolation and is
optimized for different liquid radiator configurations learn more at the link
below first on ultimaker 3's laundry list of usability improvements is dual
Extrusion oh my God I couldn't be more
excited for this yes there were ways that you could do it before but it
wasn't made for it so now we can make
stuff like this using two different colors in one model it's awesome no more
after print modding for this pla Soldier
you can just have the material be the color you desire in the first place
which will not only look better but will hold up better over time as well then
there's PVA ultimaker PVA is a dissolvable filament what basically you
can use print core AA to extrude normal
CLA filament plastic stuff what we've
been using for a while now then you can hot swap print core BB into the other
side of the Dual extruder it has custom
nozzle geometry optimized for support materials in this case it's just the
stuff I just mentioned it's PVA PVA stands for polyvinyl alcohol it's a
water soluble support material that works perfectly alongside dual Extrusion
printers to help create complex models models with large overhangs or even
models with deep internal cavities this incredibly Satisfied Man demonstrates
how you can use PVA alongside pla to
print something amazingly complex then
just add water and the end result is
Magic inspired we decided to print our
own awesome thing Tyler found this badass Chinese lion statue that needed
support filament and it worked great the whole process from dunking it into the
water to rinsing it off in the sink and yes it is safe to dissolve into tap
water and pour down the drain because it's fully biodegradable it took about 2
hours and finally second on the list is the printer's much improved
accessibility instead of just a full-sized SD card slot which it really
should have been USB if you were just going to have one option you can now
send print jobs over well USB type A a
land connection on the back of the unit or even Wi-Fi which is awesome third
place we have the built-in webcam its resolution is sort of garbage but it's
mostly okay it does what it's supposed to do allowing you to remotely monitor
the print so sorry if that triggers you or whatever but you don't need 4K 60fps
stream just to make sure it's not totally screwed and get on with the rest
of your day to be clear I'd never say no to high resolution and frame rate but
most print errors are so obvious anyways
that you'd probably want to go check it out in person even if you needed that
more resolution the fourth awesome feature is smart material detection when
you put a material spool or filament spool onto the back of the ultimaker
containing an NFC chip your printer will read it and handle all of the Annoying
fine tuning like adjusting print head temperature and bed temperature and
other material specific settings this should help out newcomers in a huge way
and even reduce troubleshooting time for experienced users and on the expert
subject you can of course override those settings if you want which leaves us
with feature number five the auto leveling bed this isn't last because
it's unimpressive or anything there just isn't really a ton to say here the glass
plate the thing that you print things onto it auto levels now which is awesome
because manually leveling it was tedious
so it just does it itself now I'm repeating myself at this point that's
probably fine so in conclusion the overall quality of the final product
when printing a single filament model that's within the capabilities of both
printers and we tested this by by printing a test model with a bunch of
different types of geometry on it gives only a slight Edge to the ultimaker 3
which only stood out because it did a better job with the bridge at the top of
the thing most improvements are more to do with quality of life which isn't a
criticism because overall reliability was an obvious point of focus the
ability to print with two different colors types of materials or even
dissolvable materials is amazing the
complexity and functionality of the tools and widgets that we can build is
going to Skyrocket but after that rocket has been flying for a few hours well
it's going to get to the price of this unit the ultimaker 3 costs about three
times as much as the car that I bought when I turned 16 this is a serious
investment and unlike previous ultim makers which seem to be geared towards
affluent enthusiasts I expect only people running some form of business
will end up purchasing one of these country roll is a site created by
