According to our 3D printer expert
The Ultimaker 3 Extended lets you make complex mathematical models and 3D models, thanks to its 2 printheads. You can mix filaments of 2 different colors and print multi-colored spare parts for your car or motorbike, for instance. You don't need to be standing next to your 3D printer to print out all your creations, because you can send your files to the printer via WiFi. Because the printer uses NFC to automatically detect what type of filament you're using, you can start printing straight away. The Ultimaker 3 lets you create prototypes up to 215x215x300mm in size with a layer height between 20 and 200 microns. It lets you create more detailed, but primarily higher objects than the Ultimaker 2 and 2+. Because you don't just swap out the printer nozzles, but the entire printhead, the Ultimaker makes it easy to switch between filaments. The casing has a semi-open construction, so it's best to place it in a well-ventilated area if you don't want to be bothered by the smell of burnt plastic.

There are a number of 3D printers here, including the older version of the Ultimaker (version 2 single extruder) and the difference in quality of prints compared to the other printers is huge. Of course the dual extruder with the UM3 (extended) is a big advantage; that is why it has now been decided to replace the older UM2 version with the UM3 here. Now also designs are possible that cannot be printed without extensive support material. The interchangeable print cores are an absolute plus when working with highly variable materials such as PLA and Bronsefill. The NFC functionality of the printer and the Ultimaker filament has only been used for the first test prints (they are included as standard and that is always handy to be able to do the first test print). Handy, but no real reason to buy this printer. The quality of the device, the ease of installation, the interchangeable print cores and the final quality of the prints (that's what it's all about of course) is extremely good. The accompanying software (Cura) has also been updated and works well as a slicer. The price ? Well, for a 'I want to have a 3d printer on my desk to show the visitor' person, it might not be the most logical choice. For anyone who wants a plug-and-play 3D printer with accompanying excellent quality prints, it is the 'ultimate' machine and well worth the price.

After installing the printer, nothing but good, high-quality prints were made. Works beautifully and reliably with the free software Cura. You have to figure out a bit about multi-material, especially with metal-fill filaments, but that is specific to the special filaments. In short, beautiful machine
