3D Printing: Ultimaker 2+ Unboxing and First Use
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июн 2016
- My Ultimaker 2+ arrived, and before I could use it, I would have to remove it from the box. In this video, I took it out of the box and used it for the first time. It's a decent machine, and I'm looking forward to having it in my arsenal.

Joel -- a couple of tips that might have been the cause of the jam. When you load filament, don't push it up so much. Just hand load it until it's in the drive mechanism, then press the button and it will run slow. When you see it enter the bowden tube from the drive mechanism, then press the button again and it will run high speed into the hot end. it may have hit the nozzle before slowing down since it was already pretty far into the tube when you started. Second, break off the curved/bent end of the filament before loading it so it doesn't try to kick off to the side as it's entering the hot end. Lastly, pull the blue clip where the tube enters the extruder and make sure the tube is seated all the way in. This will help prevent any gap at the end of the tube. I love my UM2+ and so will you! Your first upgrade should be a #BondtechQR extruder! They have a great kit specifically for the UM2+. #HighFive
yep, pushed filament too far before letting the ultimaker auto advance will grind up the filament. Easy to remember in the future.
+1 for the Bondtech upgrade. although I'm using it on a UM2 not Um2+, so the new feeder could be good enough with the Bondtech.
Yep, I messed that one up. Dang it. When I initially tried to put the filament in, the feeder gear was going slow, and according to the app, it is suppose to catch the filament start to load it slowly. That wasn't happening, so my 1am brain decided to try it's own method of fixing. I'm telling you, what I think of at 1am sometimes sounds good at the time, but then I wake up the next day and realize I was WAY off. Thankfully, it all got worked out, and the printer is currently printing crazy well. Once the review is done, I will definitely look into getting that Bondtech extruder.
OH CRAP, ALMOST FORGOT #ReturnFive
Good thing you got it working again. I was almost afraid there would be another non review :-)
No way, this printer is like gold in your hands. It's great, good luck with it.
I had the same filament chewing issue with mine . It would start failing after a layer or two . I found out the feeder was set too tight from factory . I now have it set up at 25% instead of 50% and it works without any issue .
I hope you will enjoy it as my as I enjoy mine .
So ironic, I had a filament jam as soon as I first loaded my Ultimaker 2 extended model. Now I'm constantly fighting random problems, heat bed adhesion, not finishing the models (which happened this morning) I even had the filament melt into the bowden tube, I nearly had to replace the whole tube but with some ingenuity I managed to get the fused filament out.
I'm so jealous, this printer looks beautiful. I can't wait for your future videos on the Wanhao Duplicator 6 too.
Those are seriously beautiful machines
Totally. Gorgeous.
as an ultimaker owner (sorry Joel!) the filament snarl was user error. it is confusing at first but handy that it fast loads the filament. if you tune the temp you can dial the robot in. usually the first print has the temp a lil high so it prints jam free.
if you got questions feel free to ask me!
+Calvin Witt Totally my fault! Not super well documented and I did the best I could. ;)
+3D Printing Nerd its all good! im so used to the auto load on it that when i load the rostocks at work its annoying by comparison!
Heck yeah! 18min video on my day off...best way to start my day :D
"It's old but it works..." I wonder if Mrs. 3DPrintingNerd would appreciate her wedding day being far enough in the past as to be called old :) Careful my friend, else you may be sleeping in your workshop :) Have a great weekend! #HighFive
+Richard T ha! love it! #ReturnFive
I think I spotted a little blob on the end of that spool of filament before you attempted to load, that probably created a load of friction in the bowden tube and created the jam. I've had similar things happen on my Ultimaker Original.
I REALLY like the noises it makes
Right on Joel... Good to meet you in the hangout the other night.
Good to meet you as well!
Joel, someone has probably already said this but when you load filament into the ultimaker 2, you have to press continue very quickly after having inserted just a little bit of the new filament through/into the feeder. Pressing continue after inserting the filament into the feeder (per the lcd instructions) then makes the ultimaker quickly feed in a length of filament that is almost the length of the bowden tube to speed the loading process along (or else it'll take a couple of minutes instead of 5 seconds). In your case, you let the slow moving feeding move the new filament all the way to hot end and then when you pressed continue, the ultimaker tried to quickly move filament the length of the bowden tube through the hot-end in about 5 seconds which as you know....just isn't possible. So the knurled feeder chewed through your filament since it wouldn't budge.
I experienced the same thing as you the first time. :)
+DrR1pper Oh yes, MANY people have said it :) Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who experienced this!
3D Printing Nerd Lol. I thought as much. :) When watching your video, the moment i saw you had let it travel all the way to the hot end slowly and was about to press continue, i cringed knowing all too well what was about to happen to your filament at the feeder. Good job on troubleshooting it in quickly though (or at least it looked that way on video). ;)
Joel I think the filament jam was caused by you, but not directly by you. You should always snip the end to have a nice clean section to insert into the hot end when loading, a small snag would cause the issue you had.
you've done way more printing than me I'm sure so you should know this =)
Normally I snip the end, but the end on this roll was as clean and crisp had I snipped it. I've heard from others that they had loading issues with the very first time they loaded filament, so, it doesn't look like I'm alone. Hey, it cleared quick and works well!
It all worked out in the end!! It must be awesome to be you man!! you get some goodies to play with! Keep up the good work!
it Always jams with new filament. Just wiggle the tube on the head side when it loads slowly. often you can help de filement on the back with the hand by pushing it up the feeder.
That is really quiet compared to the UM2. I might have to get the upgrade kit for my UM2.
Highfive for that handy unboxing video.
Thank you for your channel and videos, especially this one. I am considering getting into 3D printing for my various tech, sci-fi and fantasy hobbies and for the love it and this is the printer I am looking at. It seems like it makes very detailed prints and has a large volume and is easy to use for how high quality it is. Your channel has helped me learn a lot about about 3D printing. #HighFive.
Welcome to the Ultifamily! Now try the .25 nozzle for fine x-y details and ultiquality 0.06 layer height! That's really impressive
Love Ultimaker Machine!
Joel I finally got around to ordering the wombot exilis xl the shipping costs 150 us dollars
Can you make a video about how to get started into 3D printing on a budget?
Teleported! I knew you knew magic!
Which one do you like better? Ultimaker 2+ vs. Lulzbot Taz 5/6(?) vs. 3DGence. I have FlashForge Creator Pro and I love it, but I wonder if any of them is worth the upgrade. Are there big differences between those high end models and FFCP?
Great video as always! #Highfive!
I've had my UM2 for almost half a year and I'm super happy with it. The build volume is very standard, but where the UM2 really shines imo is its precision. I printed a small box that was more or less air tight when closed, something that was not possible with my old printer. It seems the loading is its weak point since I too got a jam the first time I used it and have had them a few times since then. As is noted in the video though, it's really easy to fix and the printer as a whole is very user friendly.
It would be so awesome if filament makers put their rolls in zip-lock bags so you could re-seal it and keep your pla dry.
Jeez you finally got a Ultimaker
+I Dont Care I know, right?
14:48 WARNING! See that fillament coming out right now it could jam up during build iff you dont remove it so what you do it with a paint scraper of something other than your hands grab that fillament before the printer takes it with it to the build this could create somethin like a golf ball over the extruder then you have to send it to ultimaker to get it fixed!
I know this because I have got one of these printers at my school and also have a 3D Printer at home!
Great vid as always brother!
it was user error, when first load the material don't push through the feeder (clearly what you did) wait for the feeder to pull don't force it in.
Yep, totally my error. Filament wasn't taking like the app showed it would, so I pushed it up not knowing doing that would result in the grinding. D'oh. At least my mistake was easily fixed and the machine is printing great right now!
i’m getting a ultimaker 2+ tomorrow and i’m doing research
good review, love the shirt. Never Forget....
Should I get this, or the Taz 6? Such a hard decision...
Joel, how do I get my name in the end with the credits? High five!
Forgive me, as I am unsure who to ask...but I have been watching your videos like crazy in an attempt to educate myself. what, if any, is the real benefit to switching to a glass plat for a flash forge creator pro (2016)...Any advice would be welcome and greatly appreciated
Are you still doing something with barnacles
Tricklaser custom Rostock is coming in a little
Hey man I love the video, as usual ;) But you did have a "User error" of sorts. You see as the PLA has pasted into the the tube you should have hit the button at that point. That would then feed the tube quicker without the PLA grinding up. This step is not covered well in the documents that you followed hence the problem you had. Thank you for another great video ;)
Yes! I messed that one up, didn't I? Though, you're right, the process like that isn't documented well and I went with what I thought was right. That said, it was a SUPER easy fix and I was back to printing in no time. Plus, this is the first time I've EVER used an Ultimaker. Just a bump in the road. heh. :)
yeah mate we all have those bumps to get over. I glad you took the time to read my post and you understood the point too. Have a great night mate #HIGHFIVE
As you know, I completely love my WANHAO Duplicator i3 V2, BUT, I consider Ultimaker as the industry standard in 3D printing. If not for the price I would have one here. :)
Yes you would! So far, it's printing really well.
+3D Printing Nerd are you able to print the nikana prime from warframe?
Does it have a heated bed ? Did you put something on the print bed so the PLA would stick ?
Yes it does, and yes I did. I used the glue stick they shipped with the printer. Stuff like that will be covered when I do the review.
Hey Joel great unboxing, you going to have alot of fun with the printer. I just finished upgrading my ultimaker 2 to the 2 + on my channel . I can tell you the upgrade is well worth it. I just had to laugh when you put the filament in the back. i was like NOOOO joel you pushed it way to far into the Bowden tube. I think the back motor ate the filament as it could not push it any more. next time maybe look at just pushing the filment just passed the back feeder. then let the Ultimaker do the work. #HighUltimakerFIVE
hey joel how are you able to fix a filiment jam on a printer like the flash forge creator
I haven't slept in 2 days been going to work living off red bull and coffee lol
I got this! And I love it for PLA
It's not good with ABS because it's open, but nevertheless it's great printer .
Yay!! I love my UMO and my UM2 that I updated to the +. With the Olsson block, I use the 0.6 nozzle for 90% of printing as it's a great compromise between speed and quality.
Unusual to get the filament jam - the new extruder gear was designed to stop the chewing up. Oh well, happens to the best of us!
#highfive
Nice printer but the prie/build volume ratio does not make it worth the prie tag. I ompare ultimaker to Apple produts, Same components as a regular PC but with a premium price and selliing because of its reputation. Don't get me wrong it is a well built machine i just think there is too much hype just like a apple product.
Depends on your budget. My craftbot will be here today. It is a 1100 printer that 3d hubs rated 8.8 out of 10.
May I ask where did you get your craftbot ?
+Joe Archuleta
i bought it from craft unique. it came from Hungary in less time than the delivery date stated and no damage in shipping.
Atomic 3D Are you in the USA
+Joe Archuleta
Yep, Dirty Jersey to be exact.
Holy Hell, Joel, that very thing happened to me when I received my Utlimaker 2 Ext. I found out that the auto loader dug into filament after it set up the first time. I've printed through 6 or 7 rolls of ultimaker filament. I live to print.....#Highfive
#ReturnFive Live to print, Print to live :)
hello where I find this song that played at the end of the video?
Hi Joel. When you do your review will you be using the .20 nozzle? I would really like to see the best quality of this printer. I have test prints from the +2 which are great but no better than my fab mini at 100 micron .4 nozzle. Admittedly the +2 has a much larger print volume and prints quicker.. The final finish of the print is very important to me as I go on to hand finish my builds for casting in resin and whatever reduces the amount of work from printer to mould would be a bonus. Thanks mate and as always #highfive 🙂
Yes! I plan on using the .25, the .4 (on it now), the .6 and the .8!
UM2: I have a big problem with vibrations. the print quality on the vertical surfaces suffers a lot from that, I prefer printing on my 1/5th as expensive wanhao i3
+DevilZcall Hmm, that's no good. I've printed a few taller things since this video and so far, vibration hasn't been an issue. Is the whole thing vibrating?
Hey Joel, what do you think of the Raise 3D printer? Do you have a video on it? I'm considering one of the three models and wanted to know your opinion first.
What do I think? I think they are VERY interesting. I should have one coming my way soon. I don't have an exact ETA, but, I will get some hands on time in the near future.
Awesome, thanks for the quick response! I look forward to that video! :D
How fast can you get it to print ? They claim 24 mm3/s but can they print that fast well ?
I'm going to try!
could you compare the ultimaker to the gmax printer especially using abs?
Are there specific questions you need answered? Both of these printers are pretty different, so the comparison would need to be done on specific things.
how can ultimaker be so darn expensive and not have useful functions like prusa?
very cool t-shirt, wish I could read what it says below "never forget"
Hm. That print seems to have the characteristic Z-wobble of larger machines. I was hoping Ultimaker would have made a commitment to fix that like on the Prusa Mk2.
It's super hard to base Z wobble prognosis on a small example model. I've been printing with it, making the parts for the Tracer gun from Overwatch. There is absolutely NO Z wobble on those parts.
3D Printing Nerd That's true. It is a small model, relative to the total build area and the height of the Z-axis. I have a very small printer that had little to no wobble, but I seem to have damaged it. Hopefully replacement leadscrew will fix that. Happy printing
smokeydops happy printing to you as well! good luck with the fix!
JEALOUS. JEALOUS RIGHT NOW.
Could you please tell me how you compare this printer to the taz 6 as far as print quality and reliability? Im torn between the two currently and it seems as though the print quality may be better with the ultimaker2+ but thats the only thing that makes me lean towards it over the taz 6. Maybe the ultimaker is more user friendly too? Honestly i like the print size and features of the taz 6 but if i have to sacrifice them for smaller volume and better quality i may do that. Pls help me decide.
+Bluelight Gaming hey! I've only had experience with a pre-production TAZ6 so I cannot really compare apples to apples. My Ultimaker prints like a dream and is incredibly easy to use.
3D Printing Nerd ah ok. Thanks for the fast response. I saw your review on the taz 6 but thought you may have gotten a new one after.
Blipvert at 6:36 ?
I'm getting a robo R1 plus any advice if u can thankyou
Watch banlrnacules video on it
Thanks - very helpful.
How you find this printer after few weeks of use?
I'm interested in buying it but I would like your advice.
So far, the Ultimaker has EASILY been one of my favorite machines to use. It's easy to use, precise, and robust.
+3D Printing Nerd I been looking at their site everyday for the past 1 month.
I believe I will make the jump !
Thank you
+3D Printing Nerd did you test Cube pro? I have one but only complaint of mine is the cartridges
I got it and I love it, I got the extended too.
I wish they had 2 extruder though but other than that this printer prints and no hiccups
it is a lovely looking machine.
Agreed!
is it ok if i use a 4.7 by 4.7 by 4.7 build plate im most likely getting a 3d printer.
Well, sure, use whatever you can!
3D Printing Nerd dude so how is the ultimaker that i suggested
God damn I wish I could afford to buy an Ultimaker :( Awesome video :P
Thanks as always, man!
Beautiful machine. Quite the price, but looks like you get what you pay for.
yes
what is a good starter 3d printer?
That is an incredibly hard question to answer as it depends on you, your abilities, your budget, and what you want to print with it.
3D Printing Nerd well ive never printed before im hoping something near like 200 dollars the only thing ive seen is the unibody is that printer anygood?
$200? Eek. You could find a Fabrikator Mini or a Monprice Select. However, at this point - you've never printed before. Do what I did, join in the forums and the groups and learn. Soak up what others post about, try to be active, ask questions. It's best to start armed with as much knowledge as possible!
3D Printing Nerd what are the forums that you speaketh of
3D Printing Nerd do you think I should just save up more money and look for something a little more expensive
Them there are some runnin' scissors.

My opinion of Ultimaker dropped considerably.
Why is that?
well the you had a filament jam right out of the gate. They also made you have to manuall calibrate the bed. For a 2k printer I would expect this stuff not to happen!
***** I *did* learn that the filament jam was my own fault for not loading the filament right, though, I don't think the process was as easy as the manual describes. I initially tried to insert the filament as the gear was slowly turning, like in the manual, but it wasn't going in. That's when I inserted it too far. Oh well, as for leveling the bed - I sort of agree. Auto bed leveling is becoming the norm, so it's weird to see it missing from such an industry leading machine. I'm still playing with it and I'm definitely taking these two things into consideration when I give my review. Lastly, seriously, thanks for the conversation. #highfive
