The printers which we tested ranged from around 400 Euros to 2500 Euros, so it's not really fair to compare them to one another. Starting with the cheapest printer which we tested, the XYZPrinting da Vinci Junior 1.0: this is certainly a great little ma...
Small footprint, High quality 20 micro prints, Fantastic Cura software
Limited filament compatibility, Hit and miss with fast print speeds, No heated bed
This smaller version of the Ultimaker 2 features a reduced sized unheated print bed limiting the printer to use with PLA, but for many this sacrifice of materials and print size could be well worth it for the far more compact footprint...
High maximum resolution, Excellent build quality, Easy to maintain and repair
Expensive, Struggles with certain fine details
The Ultimaker 2 has built up quite the reputation in the three years it's been available, and after using one for the better part of a month, we can say with confidence that it definitely lives up to that reputation. The prints are fast, detailed, and...
Ready to use straight from the box, SD card model loading, Fantastic Cura software
Only designed to print PLA and ABS, Care needs to be taken that filament doesn't catch at the back, Not designed for tethered printing
The Ultimaker 2 is easy to set up, and it offers quality prints, ABS and PLA support as well as standalone and quiet operation. All of these factors make this a 3D printer that can ultimately be used easily by anyone....
The Ultimaker 2 3D printer has a great compact design, uses standard consumables, and works very quietly. It has a large print platform, and the print plate is removable
The printer performs inconsistently when printing large objects, can't print directly from a computer, and requires manual calibration. It's also very expensive
The Ultimaker 2's convenient and compact design isn't enough to justify its grossly over-the-top price tag....
Elegan, Apple-like design Very-high-quality prints Works with both PLA and ABS filament materials Can print quickly (at low quality)
Expensive Offers only a single extruder
The Ultimaker 2 is a well-built, sophisticated 3D printer that produces high-quality prints in a variety of materials. But it isn't cheap. Who it's for: Artists or engineers who need quick, rough prints and slower, higher-quality prints in both...
