Ultimaker has launched an upgrade kit for the Ultimaker 2 series, allowing older models to enjoy the new performance of the PLUS!
Ultimaker, one of the best open-source 3D printer manufacturers, has specially launched this Ultimaker 2 upgrade kit to allow users who previously purchased Ultimaker 2 and Ultimaker 2 Extended to also enjoy the new performance of the Ultimaker 2+! This kit was completed with the help of Ultimaker's strong community and includes all the advanced features of the new machines, Ultimaker 2+ and Ultimaker 2 Extended+. Installing the upgrade kit allows users to upgrade non-PLUS models to the latest standard configuration to improve print quality.The new upgrade kit includes:
1. Enhanced reliability of the geared feeder
The innovative feeder system makes it easier for users to change filament and adjust the correct filament pressure.
2. Quick-release and swappable nozzles give you better choices
You can quickly change between 0.25mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, and 0.8mm nozzles, giving you the ability to choose between high-resolution fine printing and rapid prototyping.
3. Improved fan airflow to optimize print quality
The newly designed fan ensures that the print head and object are evenly cooled by fans on both sides.
Ultimaker listens carefully to its users and ensures that its products meet their needs. Through close collaboration with the Ultimaker community, they have successfully developed this upgrade kit, allowing users to keep their machines at the latest and best performance, and enjoy a more pleasant printing experience.
"We introduce new features not only based on what we think is useful and valuable for the printer, but by listening to the needs and wishes of our users," said Siert Wijnia, Ultimaker's founder and CTO. "By installing the new upgrade kit, any user who already owns an Ultimaker 2 can benefit from the new technology."
From the beginning, Ultimaker's vision has been to make 3D printing widely accessible to everyone. This is why all Ultimaker desktop 3D printers are extremely quiet, fast, accurate, reliable, and easy to use. This commitment has allowed them to be accepted and recognized by both professionals and beginners. This has also helped them become one of the most successful and reliable open-source 3D printing companies in the world. Recently, the company was named the best 3D printer of 2015 by Make Magazine, received the Editor's Choice Award from Digital Trends, and won the Best Consumer Product at the 2014 3D Printshow Global Awards!
