Ultimaker S5
A high end, large and self sufficient FDM 3D printer designed for ease of use and requiring minimal technical experience and maintenance.
This printer is essentially an upgrade to the Ultimaker 3 meaning it is also dual filament and can print PVA support.
It differs in that it has a larger build space, it prints more reliably, has a full air manager allowing for more volatile filaments to be used (such as TPU) and its own filament storage area which keeps up to 6 rolls of filament at ideal humidity; however the slots for this are quite small meaning it will not fit 1kg reels. It is also more automated than the Ultimaker 3 making it easier to use for beginners but this comes at the cost of reduced ability to fix it when something goes wrong.
Key specs:
- Dual Extruders (2.85mm)
