Ultimaker 2+ experience

Hiya everyone,

I bought an Ultimaker 2+ recently.

I used the UM2 profile and found that I had make a lot of adjustments. the extrusion rate is down to 0.9 for one.

any one have the some sort of problems?

other than that I have found the difference between the wanhao D4S (heavily modded) and the UM 2+ is massive. the quality is fantastic and the changing of nozzles so quick and easy.
Still trying to get used to printing with the 0.8. huge amount of filament comes out lol.

regards

0.8 nozzle!! You can make sausages with that! :D :D :D :D :D With a high enough temperature, they'll come out pre-cooked!

Have fun with your Ultimaker 2+.

Any chance you could share the settings changes you needed for the 2+? I just upgraded my 2 to 2+ and have no idea what I might need to change. I thought with the .4 nozzle, it would be the same settings?

Just go to Help > Configuration Assistant, and select the Ultimaker 2 profile. They should use identical settings.
