Apple approved Ultimaker as the sole supplier of 3D printers in the Apple Online Store. Ultimaker 2+ is now available for purchase from Apple online stores in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg



Ultimaker initially paid a lot of attention to working with the community. And the Cura editor is open source, and the forum is lively and interesting.

Recently, they announced an upgrade to their Ultimaker 2 and Ultimaker 2 Extended models (about which I wrote earlier) - Ultimaker 2+ and Ultimaker 2+ Extended, respectively.



In 2014, a simple guy on the forum laid out his version of the print head for Ultimaker 2, then the dialogue with the community and orders went, but now these are the official components of a well-known brand. Let's see how a peasant went to success (900+ records of forum discussions, by the way).





Printer



The process of unpacking a 3D printer, has already been described in detail by suppliers.



From updates:



Upgrade or plastic feed mechanism



He became bigger and added a button for unclamping the feeder. Now, if the plastic "zazhuet", then it can be easily pulled out. The feed mechanism works a little louder, but the feed goes very smoothly.



New blowing system





As evidence of the usefulness of innovation - "ear test":



Now the ears of the robot are the same clarity. On the previous printer model, the left “ear” of the robot “flowed” a little due to insufficient airflow.



Mobile application for Android and Appstore



The application has instructions, useful tips, answers to questions, as well as the opportunity to find the official representative of the company for technical support.



Video as always fascinates





We look at the magic




















Olsson block - practical synergy

Olsson block is a hot end with interchangeable nozzles of various diameters. Allows you to quickly change the nozzle. There are 4 nozzles in total - 0.13 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm. By changing the nozzles you can achieve the best print result for you. The company Ultimaker officially placed Olsson block in the list of its accessories.

“The blocking of the hole is the original and the Olsson block are equally deep, as the swordriff says.



It is a little bit more space for the nozzle-thread. “This meant that I’m getting a little bit more.” The developer commented.



After 1200 hours of printing
