4.2 Materials
Material compatibility
The Ultimaker 2+ Connect supports all Ultimaker build materials that are currently available, of which most can be
printed with the 0.25, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mm nozzle sizes.
All Ultimaker materials have been extensively tested and have optimized proles in Ultimaker Cura to ensure
the best print results. Therefore, it is advised to use one of the default proles in Ultimaker Cura for the
highest reliability.
Print recommendations
Each material requires dierent settings for optimal results. When using Ultimaker Cura to prepare your model,
these settings are automatically set correctly if the correct nozzle size and material are selected.
It is recommended to apply a thin layer of glue (using the glue stick from the accessory box) or an adhesion sheet
to the glass build plate before starting a print. This will ensure that your print adheres reliably to the build plate,
and also prevents the glass build plate from chipping when removing prints.
Chipped pieces of the glass plate stuck to the print after removing can cause cuts. Always use the
recommended adhesion method.
The warning icon on the glass plate should face upwards. This side is best for printing and
ensures optimal adhesion
For detailed instructions on which settings and adhesion method to use per material, take a look at the material
manuals and adhesion recommendations on the Ultimaker website.
3D printing thermoplastics may result in the release of ultrane particles (UFPs) and volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) depending on the laments used and settings of the 3D printer. In case UFP emissions are
unknown or are likely to be signicant, it is advised to use the Air Manager with the Ultimaker 2+ Connect or
use the printer in a well-ventilated room. Ensure that the laments are printed at the advised temperatures;
too high printing temperatures will cause additional emissions. Other measures needed to further control
emissions strongly depend on the specic conditions under which the printer(s) are used.
