Ultimaker 2

I purchased the Ultimaker to allow for better resolution and control of print settings and filament options. The print quality is incredible for it's class of FDM. My success rate in print is overwhelmingly high compared to other printers we own. However, the bed leveling is more unforgiving. The precision of the leveling is much tighter and dependent on print success. But after several prints you soon get the feel of the printer and leveling does become easier. The ability to use a multitude of various filaments as well as 1.75mm or 3.00mm is incredibly useful. The Cura software is a perfect blend of beginner and intermediate users. However, I prefer using Simplify3D for greater control of settings. Overall, the printer is a great choice for the serious hobbyist as well as the professional.

Good choice for FDM printer, maybe the best for this time. Quality and succes rate is very satisfying.

one of the best FDM-printers for the money. Nearly all prints are good. only a few misprints (mostly my own fault)

The Ultimaker 2 is for me a very good and solid machine that works well for most cases. It does however need to be upgraded with a better drive system (either 2+ kit or Bondtech) and a new hotend (2+ kit or just Olsson block to get the best results.

after you buy the machine you need to do a $400 upgrade , half of it you don't need.  after their promise of a dual color upgrade never panned out very unhappy with them.  if you are only do PLA  you could be happy with it.  Thinking of selling mine and going with A DIFFERENT MACHINE.  I wouldn't even bother with their UM3 untell it's been out for a 6 months min. I bet they will drop some other $500 upgrade on people. 

I wrote in depth about my experience with the 3D printer here:

It is very good for all type of print.

The one I have been using with students  has approximately 300 hours or so of print time on it this year, and it just keeps on going without problems. Awesome unit!

The money best spent in my life.
