We have an older u-print by dimension, not sure the model. It has really good print quality, and is very consistent and reliable. Our model is also a dual extruder with dissolvable support material in the second extruder. With the u-print its basically just drop the stl into the software and press print and you can walk away knowing that you will come back to a successfully finished print.
The material is extremely expensive (dont know the number off the top of my head but somewhere around 10x the cost of makerbot pla). That's the whole reason we started looking for a new printer. And they (idk if they still have this) have some sensors on the filament spools that prevent you from using third party filaments. We've had some errors with our spool holders saying the spool is empty and stopping the print when there's still over half a spool of filament left. That's a lot of money to throw out.
So my thoughts are if your looking for a printer that's really easy for everyone to use and aren't exactly worried about the cost of the material, the u print is a good choice.
As i said though our printer is many years old and maybe they have changed or improved on a lot of these things since then.
Please explain to me how to...
