Flashforge vs Ultimaker 2

[Claussen]

Hi guys,

I've been doing some research on a potential printer for small model parts. This means that I'll be aiming for detail/quality over print speed and print area. I was hoping to find a printer with the most detail ~$1500, and I've been getting the feeling that it's going to be either the flashforge creator pro or the ultimaker 2 go. Does anyone have any experience between the two. I understand the Ultimaker 2 Go isn't out yet, but I figure it'd be pretty similar to the ultimaker 2 sans heated bed (I'm also open to suggestions if anyone has other options).

Thanks in advance.

Hard to compare a printer that is not out yet? We have a Replicator and an Ultimaker 2. The Ultimaker 2 consistently prints better than the Replicator and breaks down less. That is not to say the Replicator is not a good printer, it is just more problematic.

We offer an upgraded Replicator 2 that will print .50mm

Whatever you get, make sure you can have it fixed!
