![]() ![]() ![]() The setup adheres to the well-established Cartesian printer design. The extruder manages movement on the Y and X axes, while the build plate shifts up and down on the Z axis for the added 10 cm of verticality. The updated parallel fan cup single extruder setup introduced for the ‘’+’’ series of Ultimaker printers returns coupled with a 50 to 100 ☌ heated glass build plate. If anything, this printer is ripe for displaying to wow visitors. The style of the Ultimaker 2 Extended + is such that it isn’t out of place in a home office. The now iconic Ultimaker robot logo adorns the side paneling for a playful twist on the often drab appearance of 3D printers. The sleek white, clean-cut, functional design returns as well, as does the interior LED setup. We are especially fond of the case construction if only for the peace of mind it offers by limiting openings and contact points with the hot build plate and nozzle at the front and top. In keeping with the ethos of its younger brother, Ultimaker 2 Extended + is marketed as an out of the box workhorse, reliable and sturdy, that will please seasoned makers and curious first-timers alike.īar the extended height of 10 cm, the Ultimaker 2 Extended + returns with the partially enclosed Cartesian cube-shaped casing made of translucent acrylic bolstered by a robust aluminum frame. The additional print area means there’s the option to render multiple build pieces during the same printing session. The extra height is suited to larger prints and can save a lot of time, and effort, by negating the need to print parts of the same build individually. In this case, our first impression is the right one, and there is nothing that sets apart the two models other than the Ultimaker 2 Extended + offering 100mm more of vertical y-axis build volume for a total of 223 x 223 x 305 mm. When first comparing the Ultimaker 2 Extended + to its namesake and inspiration, the Ultimaker 2 +, there doesn’t appear to be much in terms of differences other than the Extended edition being taller. ![]()
