What will we be showing you today in our hands-on review of the Ultimaker 3D printer?
Hint: Something you've been playing with since childhood and still play with today.
I felt inexplicably excited when I thought about printing this object today.
I used to have to hug it to sleep when I was a kid!
Without further ado, I'll guide you through it step by step!
As everyone knows, the unique invention of the Ultimaker 3 is its dual nozzle design.
One nozzle can print water-soluble PVA support, specifically for printing 3D objects that require high flexibility and complexity, giving them a delicate and smooth surface.
Therefore, today we will use one nozzle to print PLA and the other nozzle to print water-soluble PVA support.
It's printed!
Can you guess what it is?
The answer is the XBOX controller we all had as kids.

The next thing to do is to put the XBOX controller in water to dissolve the water-soluble PVA support.
Let's take a look at the finished product after the water-soluble support has dissolved!
After the water-soluble support dissolves, you can see that the supported areas are extremely delicate and smooth, without any rough spots.
With typical 3D printers, manually removing supports often results in uneven supported areas, affecting the overall quality of the object.
I think among desktop 3D printers, only the dual-nozzle Ultimaker 3 can achieve this.
It truly offers exceptional value for money, a professional-grade contender among affordable 3D printers.👍👍👍
