New Ultimaker 3

[Blizz]

I wouldn't be too fast ruling that out.
Nothing concrete, but I heard some birdies in the past talk differently
Not that that is any guarantee it will ever come as I assume they are experimenting with a lot, but still.

... but the World does not consist only of Ultimaker, does it?

No, certainly not. But it would be nice to keep the very well working base of my UM2, so in case you know somebody else who created such an extruder for the UM2 AND sells it, please let me know. That would save me the work of creating something with the pancake stepper motor myself

You will probably have to wait for Foehnsturms work... somewhere end of next month or so iirc...

I doubt we'll get UMs with a much larger build volume given the heap of arguments why it isn't a good idea (by nallath I think).
Still... I can see myself buy a printer with a slightly lower top speed if it were to feature direct drive
