Ultimaker printers
The Makerspace has two 3D printers:
- Ultimaker 2 +
- Ultimaker 2 Extended +
Both printer are operated the same. This manual is applicable to both printers.

Printing on the Ultimaker 2 + or Ultimaker 2 Extended +
To print a 3D model:
- Prepare the GCODE file and copy it to a SD card
- Enter the SD card into the SD card reader
- Prepare the print table for printing, apply
- glue (for PLA) or
- painters tape (for ABS)
- Switch on Ultimaker on the back side of the machine
- Change material:
- To change material or the enter material in to the printer, choose Material in the main menu
- Choose Change. The machine heats up and first will remove existing material
- Choose Ready once material is removed
- Feeding new Material
- Feed new material on the back side of the UltiMaker
- Choose Ready once the material is transported through the tube. The material will be transported to the nozzle.
- Wait till material flows through nozzle and confirm by selecting Ready
- Return to main menu by selection Return
- Print model
- Select Print
- Choose model you like to print. The printer heats up to the required temperature.
- Printing
- Once the nozzle and print table are at th erequired temperature, the printer will start.
- Printer releases small amount of filament through the nozzle
- The printer starts printing
- The display shows the expected time for the print
- Print ready
- Allow the printer table to cool down. Too early removal of the print may damage the print
- Remove the print from the print table
- Clean the printer table when required (remove glue / painter tape)
- Remove the Filament from the printer by executing step 3 of this procedure
- Once the filament is removed, switch off the print with the switch on the backside of the printer
- Store filament in the appropriate location
Releasing clocked material from nozzle
Over time filament will block the nozzle. to clean the nozzle follow the following steps:
- Remove remaning filament
- Get a 30cm of Nylon filament and straighten it as much as possible
- Remove the blue horshoe clip underneath the white coupling
- Remove the filament tube out of the print head, while holding the white coupling
- Select in the main menu Advanced
- Select Heatup Nozzle
- Raise the nozzle temperature to 260 degrees
- Once on right temperature, insert the straightened piece of filament in the nozzle
- Set the temperature to 90 degrees and wait for the printer to reach this temperature
- Pull out the filament, be aware may require substantial force
- Repeat this process as often as required
