Ultimaker 2+ Connect
Easy to use, high uptime, low maintenance
Overview
Introducing the Ultimaker 2+ Connect
With networking capabilities and a new touchscreen, the Ultimaker 2+ Connect is your reliable first step into our world of easy, remote 3D printing. Simply unbox and connect three components, and get started. This speedy setup even makes installing multiple 3D printers effortless.
Easy to use. High uptime. Low maintenance.
Thousands of designers and educators love Ultimaker technology because it just keeps working – day and night, year after year. Since 2015, over 6 million prints have been prepared for its predecessor. And the Ultimaker 2+ Connect improves on that workhorse legacy.

Key Benefits
- Hit the ground printing. With just three components to assemble, you
can start printing quality 3D prints within 30 minutes. The new color
touchscreen allows anyone to set up and operate the printer. - High uptime. Low maintenance. Built upon an architecture that has
delivered millions of high-quality prints, the Ultimaker 2+ Connect is a robust workhorse requiring less than 20 minutes of maintenance per month. - Cloud 3D printing built in. Access Ultimaker software to speed up your design and validation process. Move between software preparation, hardware production, and cloud monitoring – without the need for flash storage.
Ultimaker Air Manager (Optional)
The optional Ultimaker 2+ Connect Air Manager gives you more confidence and setup flexibility. Designed to simply and effectively increase user safety, it removes up to 95% of ultrafine particles (UFPs) and shields users from hot and moving components.
These are the key features of the Air Manager:
- UFP filtering: For more air quality peace of mind, the Ultimaker 2+
Connect Air Manager includes a single-speed fan to efficiently pull air through a large EPA filter. This gives you the flexibility to install multiple printers in more locations - Enhanced operator safety: The Ultimaker 2+ Connect Air Manager fully encloses the build chamber for a more stable printing environment and to prevent anyone from touching hot and moving components
