Topic: Ultimaker 2 vs Zortax M200

Hello...

I need some advice from experienced people. I have now browsing around trying to figure out wich 3d printer that would be best for me and Ultimaker 2 and Zortax M200 looks very good in my eyes.

Zortax M200 seem to be very sturdy and well build, Ultimaker 2 also seem very nice. Wich one do you guys think is most bang for the buck?

Hello, and welcome to the forum smile

While I have no experience with the zortax printer and didn't realize they were shipping yet I really like the ultimakers, I think they are built well with a lot of thought and planning in their construction... other than that I haven't heard much bad about either printer smile

Here is a comparison chart in case you haven't seen it over at 3Ders.com http://www.3ders.org/pricecompare/3dprinters/?o=Price

Ultimaker is more established, and very well respected [I think in many ways they're a better designed printer than makerbot.]

Looks like Zortax is nice too, and most probably the difference will primarily hinge on your expectations and willingness/preference to run risk with a less experienced manufacturer.

Re: Ultimaker 2 vs Zortax M200

Thx for replys!

Is it crazy to buy a Wanhao Dupicator 4 as a first printer and mabey upgrade to one of these later on? This 3d printing stuff is new to me and i don't have anything special i need to do. I hope this projekt will be an hobby of mine because it seems like alot of fun to print things.

So speed is not important to me but nice quality prints would be nice. I have alot of rc-cars and rc-planes and some other stuff that i want to print parts to. I also have basic knowledge in solidworks and if need to i can do upgrades/mods to my printer at work.
