Ultimaker 2 Plus

The Ultimaker 2 Plus series are the pinnacle of 3d Printer technology and come to you after thousands of hours of research and development from the Ultimaker team.


"These printers are literally years ahead of anything else we tried. We stopped making printers and went to Ultimaker because they were just so far ahead." - Tim Carr CEO of MindKits on the Ultimaker 3D Printers


The easy and reliable 3D printer

Premium parts and materials only Ultimaker 2 is made from premium parts and materials. Ultimaker added a heated bed, which smooths the prints, allows for ABS printing and prevents warping.

Stylish looks

Suitable in any interior With its nice design the Ultimaker 2 is suitable in any working or living interior. It's not all about its great looks though, it has amazing specs and print quality too.

With 30cm of print height, it pushes the boundaries of 3D printing and yet big prints still come with the reassurance of hours and hours of continuous reliable printing. Intuitive, award winning software quickly and intelligently prepares your design for print. it's super quiet and with a heated print bed that rarely needs adjusting, it's a big printer with a lot to offer.


POWERFUL FEATURES
SEAMLESSLY COMBINED



GEARED FEEDER INCREASED RELIABILITY

The innovative feeder allows you to easily swap filament and choose the correct pressure for your filament.


SWAPPABLE NOZZLE GREATER CONTROL

Easily switch between 0.25, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm nozzles for greater detail or faster print speed.


OPTIMIZED AIRFLOW SMOOTHER PRINTS

The new fancaps ensure the airflow is aimed perfectly below the nozzle and equally from both sides.

PRINTER AND PRINTING PROPERTIES


Pre-assembled: The Ultimaker 2+ is an out of the box experience and immediately ready to use, as it comes pre-assembled.

Layer Resolution

0.25 mm nozzle: 150 to 60 micron
0.40 mm nozzle: 200 to 20 micron
0.60 mm nozzle: 400 to 20 micron
0.80 mm nozzle: 600 to 20 micron

A micron is the measurement used to define the thickness of a 3D printed layer. 20 microns is 0.02 mm thick. 600 microns is 0.60 mm. Thinner layers are used for high detailed prints, thicker layers are great for fast prototypes.

Build plate

50 to 100 C heated glass build plateDue to the 50 to 100 C heated glass build plate you're able to use a much larger selection of filaments for your prints. To clean the plate simply open the clamps and remove it.

Build plate leveling

Assisted leveling processit's really easy to level the build plate using the printer's assisted leveling process. The print head automatically moves to the back of the build plate, after which the user turns the matching knob and uses the Ultimaker calibration card to set the right height. The print head will continue to the front left side, and then the front right side. This process is repeated once, after that you'll have a perfectly leveled bed which will stay leveled for a really long time thanks to the sturdy build of the build plate.

Print technology

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)This is the process of depositing layers of filament, one on top of the other, to build up shapes and models. Also known as additive manufacturing technology, it's the process used by all Ultimaker 3D printers.

Print head

Swappable nozzleThanks to the swappable nozzle, you can quickly switch between different nozzles. The standard is 0.4 mm, but you also have the option to use a 0.25 mm nozzle for detailed prints or a 0.6 mm/0.8 mm for faster prints. The new fancaps ensure the airflow is aimed perfectly below the nozzle and equally from both sides and the new Sunon fans are more silent than ever. The heater cartridge is now 35W which improves heat up times and print speeds. The PTFE isolator is made from TFM, which has a longer life span. We've removed the spring and implemented a spacer, this has less pressure on the PTFE isolator which also expands its life span. We're using a new sensitive PT-100 temperature sensor, it provides accurate readings so you can tweak the settings with precision.

Build speed

0.25 nozzle: up to 8 mm3/s
0.40 nozzle: up to 16 mm3/s
0.60 nozzle: up to 23 mm3/s
0.80 nozzle: up to 24 mm3/s

The build speed relates to how fast the filament can be extruded through the hot end of the printer. The higher the mm3/s the greater the achievable print speed. Up to 24 mm3/s is industry-leading for a desktop 3D printer.

Print head travel speed

30 to 300 mm/sTravel speed relates to how quickly the print head can move. A higher speed means faster prints ___ at up to 300 mm/s the Ultimaker 2+ has one of the fastest printer heads around.

Feeder type

Geared feederThe innovative feeder allows you to easily swap filament and choose the correct pressure for your filament. For example with a softer filament you'll need to choose a lower pressure. Such control increases the success rate of your prints. It also features a lever, when raised, you can manually insert or remove filament.

XYZ accuracy

12.5, 12.5, 5 micronThe more accurate the stepper motors within the printer, the greater degree of accuracy can be achieved with each print. Our motors are engineered and tested to achieve the very highest accuracy.

Nozzle diameter

Included are 0.25, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm nozzlesYou're able to choose from a 0.25mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm and 0.8mm nozzle diameter ___ this is the size of the hole that the filament comes through. A smaller nozzle is best for high detailed prints, whereas a 0.8mm nozzle is used for fast prototypes as more filament can flow through the hole faster.

Nozzle temperature

180 to 260 CWith such a large a temperature range from 180 to 260 C, you have greater flexibility as to which filaments you can print with.

Nozzle heat up time

~ 1 minuteWith an even more powerful 35W heater cartridge the Ultimaker 2+ nozzle heats up really fast allowing you to start printing in no time. It also means that prints can be completed much faster as it can melt the plastic faster.

Build plate heat up time

< 4 minutesThe innovative heated print bed takes less than 4 minutes to reach print ready temperature. Once the print is complete and the bed has cooled, it's really easy to remove your print. It also creates a smooth finish underneath each model.

Operating sound

50 dBAAt just 50 dBA, the sound your Ultimaker 2+ makes when printing is barely audible. This makes it perfect for desktop printing in businesses, schools or in the home.


MATERIALS


Open filament systemThe Ultimaker 2+ has an open filament system, this means you're able to use any kind of filament to get precisely the finish you're after. When you combine different materials with different nozzles ___ the possibilities are endless.

Filament diameter

2.85 mmWhen purchasing filaments for your Utlimaker 2+, you must buy 2.85mm diameter filament ___ this is the optimal size for your Ultimaker.

Supported materials

PLA, ABS, CPEThe Utilmaker 2+ is a highly flexible 3D printer and gives you the freedom to choose whatever type of filament that suits your project. The Ultimaker 2+ is optimized for Ultimaker PLA, ABS and CPE.
