Ultimaker Original+

With adequate manteinance, a very good machines!

Easy to use. dispite one of the Orignal modded model it competes with many new and expensive printers

I put together the kit, and the steps were very easy to follow for putting it together. Turned out to be a fun project with my dad! 

I'm very impressed with the quality and price for this little printer! 

You have to assemble the Ultimaker Original Plus yourself, but the knowledge you gain from that exercise will allow you to easily maintain and troubleshoot your printer.  The print quality is great and there are many mods available along with a very active and supportive online community.  With the UMO+ you get Ultimaker 2+ performance at less than half the price.

Having had this printer for more than two years I can only say I love it! I like the opensource, ease in building it and the sturdiness from the not so fancy laser cut plywood. Never had any serious mishaps with this one it just keeps on going and giving great joy. I only changed a thermocoupler and a heatblock. Thats it!
