Looking at some of the details of the Ultimaker2… CNC cut from 6mm Dibond (aluminum polyethylene composite), which is how they make it quiet and simplify the assembly, it looks like they might be using GT2 timing belts, and the firmware is a modified version of Marlin to support that snazzy OLED display. Pretty cool stuff. Some new photos here: https://www.igo3d.com/blog/ultimaker-2-pictures-comparison/
It looks a lot more professional with the integrated display and SD card reader. Very slick!
Its also one of if not the highest priced single extruder desktop printer being offered today. So the question is, is it worth it?
@Brian_Evans that was discussed about ten post down

Yes it was. The point of this post was to share the side by sides and some of the new information as it was coming out. My comment on price was mostly rhetorical, although the fact that the case was made from CNC Dibond, a more expensive material and process, was not a factor of the earlier conversation.
So, because I’m a bit busy im going to ask instead of Googling: anyone have an idea of what improvements they’ve made with the nozzle? aside from the dual fan ducts.
Looks like they got rid of the PEEK components and it appears to be mostly all metal. Theres still the bowden tube so dont want to push it but Daid mentioned something like 330C as a max temperature, limited to 300C in firmware.
