welcome to the ultimaker booth we are checking out the ultimaker 2 extended
plus there's some pretty cool new features here mainly the new orientation
of the fans the exchangeable print heads and the new feeder thanks to Squarespace
for sending us here to CES 2016 this year their link is in the description
down below starting with the print head ultimaker worked with the guys in the
community that made the Olsen block so it's an exchangeable print head that goes from 0.25 to4 6 and then up to8 if
you use much smaller filament material you can make something that's much finer
more detailed print but it will take you a lot longer and vice versa s for the
large stuff it'll take you less amount of time but it won't look quite as good
on the topic of print quality we have the orientation of the fans this doesn't
seem like a huge deal but changing how the fans are oriented allowed them to
push a lot more airflow through which actually makes a huge deal and is allows
you to make higher quality prints not just it's not that just things cool down
a little bit faster it's that you're able to do more detail operations with
the printer which is super important and the next main point is the new feeder
it's much larger in overall format size than the previous feeder which actually
makes a ton of sense a problem with the previous feeder was that the motor would
make the gears too hot which would make the plastic too hot which was a problem
now not only are the gears made out of nylon so they don't transfer heat that
much but they're also a little bit further away from the motor so that heat
transfer shouldn't be as big of a deal also very cool side note there's now a
switch on the side of the feeder which allows you to disengage the gear
allowing you to manually pull out the print filament which is great another
random tidbit side note thing is that the little white bit of plastic I don't
really remember the name of its job that it does but it sits in between the hot
and cold zones on the actual printer it has had a durability increase which is
great because when you're sitting in between a hot and cold Zone braking is
going to definitely be a huge problem now are you sad because you have an
ultimaker 2 or ultimaker 2 extended and you want the plus features but you don't
want to buy any one cuz they're super expensive that's okay no launch date yet
but they will be releasing ultimaker plus ultimaker 2 plus kits so you can
upgrade your current kit to that it's not going to be the easiest thing to do
but you might be able to take it to a center or something like that if you're worried about your
abilities anyways guys thanks for watching this video I was super excited
to check this stuff out I love my 3D printer so yeah I was very happy that
this was here anyways come in the comments down below if you would buy a
kit if you owned an ultimaker 2 or just don't that's also fine thanks to
