Zortrax M200
The Zortrax M200 started out as a Kickstart project in 2013 and soon became famous when Dell ordered 5000 units during its funding phase. Made from sturdy aluminum, the M200 is capable of printing straight out of the box with very little setup. Thanks to an automated platform leveling system, calibrating is precise and easy. With a 200 x 200 x 185 mm build area that includes a perforated build platform for mitigating the material’s tendency to warp, the printer is optimized for those who wish to print with ABS.
The Zortrax M300 is now available: https://www.3dhubs.com/3d-printers/zortrax-m300
After the searching phase of our 3D printers we have decided to buy Zortrax M200s, due to promising features and easy software solutions. There are several points in the software which help us to avoid printing problems and gives feedback also about the estimated price of the products. The printers are really running well. We take care of periodic maintenance of the head and table, so after almost one year there is no any spare parts or repair issue.
I've had almost all the commercial 3D printers in range from 400 to 20000€ on the market until 2016, and i think that M200 is the best one till now.
Superb. I've owned this printer since September 2014. I'd say it's had two weeks downtime in all that time. The rest of the time, it's printing. It's built like a tank and just works. Print failures are incredibly rare, and entirely down to my own errors such as running out of filament.
It's my favorite FDM printer on the market. The best ABS print quality for closed environment based system.
It's a great 3D printer, easy to use and with high quality.
The Zortrax M200 is an excellent value that makes the 3D printing experience simple and productive. It is also a quality printer for any person at any level of experience.
Best product ever for non-intricated design
Totally awesome printer. True plug&play experience. IMO best printer available for education and professional working enviroment. The only problem is with printing large objects - they often tend to warp.
Great printer with excellent form factor. Only downside is the promise of build volume 20x20x20 will be too risky to be printed. A more accurate print volume of 15x15x15, however, that depends on what we print. Software out of beta and easy to use, lack of information and need some manual adjustment
A quiet amazing printer : the prints are beautiful and the machine is really easy to use. For a "medium" price, it's a fantastic surprise.
Excellent Quality for price
The quality of prints and the printer itself is amazing especially for the price. I had a few problems setting it up, almost every part on the printer was unscrewed which lead to the head hitting the bed and braking it. From that time on, the printer is very reliable and works great almost every time.
Reliable printer with little tinkering and good print quality.
Excellent
Great quality, easy to use. If it had a dual extruder it wold be hard to beat.
The pieces printed for technical and funktional prototypes are of low quality specially if there are thick and thin wall mixed, the brake away technology is messi and takes lot of time and does not improve quality
best quality print
Excellent reliability, great prints. Almost no prints fail. Just load file and remove your print once it is done. Would recommend this printer to anyone who doesnt want to make 3d printing a trial and error proces.
A desktop 3D printer that has the quality, reliability and ease of use. Perfect for business and personal use.
M200 is a great machine. The company would sell a lot more machines with better marketing and support. The support is terrible.
The best quality for the best price
My best choice! It seems to use a normal inkjet printer...you make the design (you had to know how to make a good design) and you print it! Not many test to do for having the best quality of the printed model.
The zortrax m200 is the best printer I have ever used. Print quality, affordability and style make it an awesome choice. Very easy to learn and print on.
This is the best 3d printer. The hardware works like a charm cooperating with the best material ever. This is the way you are supposed to print: easy setup, ready to use machine and perfect support. Buy it!
The best fdm 3D printer, under 5000euros
god
Very high quality and easy to use printer
We bought the Zortrax M200 printer after reading the reviews on 3dhubs and other platforms and were immediately impressed by it's capabilities. It continues to live up to it's well deserved reputation as an easy to use, reliable machine with great quality results. We use it regularly for all manner of customer and internal jobs. We actually have 3 M200's in operation and currently we do not see any justifiable reason to buy another make of FDM printer.
Its a good machine
Grea reliable printer with spectacular print quality!
It is a awesome thing in 3d printer industrial, reasonable cost to perform industrial capability and quality. I am really happy on this machine!!
I've enjoyed using my M200 over the last 11 months. Despite some minor problems, I think it's a very reliable and fairly accurate printer. I don't find it expensive compared to other printers I know of, and used. Additionally I own an SLA printer, and found using my M200 far more pleasurable, and satisfied with the results. I’ve since decided to sell SLA printer. At work I use a similar, popular, 3D printer and I’ve grown to believe that my M200 delivers a superior result and is a bit more and reliable. (I’ve not named the two printers to avoid upsetting the manufacturers).
The Zortrax M200 is one of the best if not the best printer for printing with ABS. It is easy to use, pretty much plug and play, no fuss printing. But like any printer you have to keep in mine it's limitations.
The Zortrax M200 is an incredible printer which produces reliable and accurate prints time after time without any tinkering with countless parameters like so many other printers. I have had some issues with failed fans and the entire printer was replaced soon after receiving it due to bearing issues. I have to say that the professionalism of the customer service is next to non-existent and at times the staff can be down right rude on the forum, however it is one of the best printers you can buy so don't let this pit you off.
If my pickup lines woud be like Zortrax prints, i would be now father of thousand kids.
I am very happy with the machine itself and also the results which are pretty good. My customers are always very happy with the quality of the results.
Great overall printer. The software lacks some functionality, but must admit that the slicing algorithm is pretty good. Recent firmware update added some missing functionality on the printer which shows that it is actively being developed and vendor listens to the clients.
Machine is well designed with very high build quality. Parts build quality is as good as SLA with better choice of materials
I believe for the price it is the best printer on the market. I rarely ever have a bad print and its easy to clean up and get ready for the next print. I recommend it for anyone interested in a good filament printer.
When I wanted to use the printer for the first time I had a lot of problems due to cable, heated platform and sd-card breakdown. When one problem was solved I got another error code from another part. The support of Zortrax was not bad but also not good and after 6 six weeks the printer was still not working! I asked to the firm in Belgium where I bought my printer for a new one. When I received the new printer it also didn't work!!! Finally with the parts of the 2 printers I managed to repair one printer. A week later I received a new part so that the second printer was also repaired. Now the printers work fine without any problems.
Zortrax M200 is a Perfect Machine.
Great printer with a graet quality of print.
I am very satisfied with my M200. Some hate that it is not open source but that is what makes the machine better with such great reliability and prints.
If it is work this is excelent. If you have problem forget it for a few weeks.
Excellent value. easy to use, useful out of the box, very reliable. Would like usb and ethernet connectivity; and would like more part manipulation and examination features in the software, particularly with respect to support structure determination and build arranging.
Best printer so far
Its a fantastic product, although not able to make machine quality parts. We use it for prototyping before machining metal parts, to check fit, form and function. It does us good in that area.
Solid, performing and easy to use but should sell more materials ( metal look , flexible and others).
very good printer
I'm really happy with my Zortrax, it was a bit of an economical effort but worth every penny, especially for print quality. I am no engineer and this was my first printer ever, but I felt (and still feel) completely guided and supported by Zortrax staff and community. The software is well designed and easy to use, just like the printer itself, and the native filaments work beautifully. I have had some minor and infrequent issues with filament clogging inside the extruder and platform loosing callibration, but nothing they don't tell you how to solve really. I do miss more filament variety and lower prices in general, but otherwise I would recommend the Zortrax M200 to anyone.
very good machine
High quality printing. Maybe too much plug and play. Build volume not so great. Software with few options.
Superior build. Excellent print quality. Easy to use. Affordable.
Probably one of the most valuable ready-to-go printers on market. Very good Printing quality, very useful information on website and community blog.
Based on my experience I consider the best FDM desktop printer! Amazing!
A fantastic tool for someone beginning their journey into 3D printing. Excellent value for money considering it's plug and play credentials, ease of use, print quality and printer build quality. Only downside is the lack of materials and closed source ecosystem. Highly recommended for anyone needing to do print after print without worrying about quality, consistency or failed prints.
Absolutely ace, very restricted in certain areas, but reliability and ease of use more than make up for it.
The ideal 3D printer? The M200 ... almost ... It lacks some materials (Flex, nylon, wood ...) and a double heads. The it will be perfect.
It was a choice between the M200 and the Ultimaker. I'm glad I chose the Zortrax. It's everything I asked for. It's really, really good. Print quality is exceptional and it's been reliable and trouble free.
It's great. No complaints.
Needs better customer service and improved software
Machine mechanically very well thought out, very accurate but too limited in its use by the materials and proprietary software
Zortrex is doing it right :D
Stabiel, Hoge Printkwaliteit
Rocks
Zortrax is a really reliable 3D Printer. Professional for Professional!
Excellent machine, quiet, reliable and accurate
The build quality is very high. Stable and very good components all the way. It prints perfect. The only thing i suffer for is to print in other materials than ABS/Z-Ultrat, like PLA and TPU.
Great tool, excellent printing quality. Generally speaking total satisfaction with the product
great machine
I love 3d printing on the Zortrax M200 it has become one of the most amazing tools in my office
it is a very beautiful and very good printer. A platform magnet mounted upside to buying and some difficulties from time to time to introduce the filament.
All aspects are great considering the FDM process. Compared to others it is extremely reliable but perhaps not ahead of the others when it comes to print quality.
This printer is great to start with 3D printing, because you don't need to be experienced. You just plug and print because there are fixed profiles for the different Zortrax materials. So you don't need to try and error, what reduces the costs and time consumption. Unfortunately this means to be restricted to the Zortrax materials. When you get more experienced and the printer runs out of warranty, you can purchase the z-temp modification and break the restrictions which are set with the material profiles. Then the printer is able to print nearly every filament (except of ninjaflex) in a great quality. I would recommend this printer to everybody who wants to produce professional parts in great quality without many tryouts.
Great printer compared to others
Best economical choice for every purposes
The Best FDM printer today available on the market.
I believe the Zortrax M200 is one of the most reliable 3D printer for the price. The print quality is even still (after 8 months of use) astonishing for such a price.
Company is constantly providing software and firmware updates, developing improved hardware components and adding new materials, so it very exciting be a user of this constantly improving environment. It is cool to be a part of such a vibrant community.
Great printer. Gets the work done. Only sad that the software doesn't give you much options and you can't use other software
Great design, amazing precision, cool software, easy to use. BUT will need to use/buy the more expensive material for big prints 13 x 13 cm.
good printer, good quality and use friendly
Reliable and excellent quality
Zortrax it's great printer easy to use and print quality its very good
Great
Just a perfect 3D printer at a great price.
The most reliable 3D printer I've used out of 6 I've owned and 8 that I've used. It doesn't require the user to know much about print settings to achieve a very high quality print with a very low print fail rate. It is definitely a pro-sumer level printer.
Incredible quality print and easy to use
La mia opinione sulla Zortrax M200, avendo avuto esperienza con altre stampanti parita' di prezzo, e la migliore assoluto, sia sul costo che sulla precisione risoluzione.
Awesome printer with reliable, reproducible results.
This is my 4th Zortrax. The first 3 broke after less than 10 prints. The heated bed doesn't work. Prints take forever to finish. The software is limited. Lots of hype, little delivery. The resolution is amazing...if it doesn't fail the print.
Very high succesrate, very easy to use and very high quality prints. Main drawback is the incompatability with gcode (or that no other software can make zcode, take your pick). The firmware and software is well maintained by Zortrax, adding new features regularly.
Great prints, very easy to use.
Pros;- Great quality prints and very reliable. Cons;- The machine is louder than advertised but would still highly recommend!
Solid, solid build quality. Reliable and a workhorse for filament printing. Limited materials.
For us, quality in print is most important and we are very satisfied.
Fantastic printer, just print and forget most of the time. Software can sometimes be a little limiting. Material selection from Zortrax is somewhat limited. Assembly in China isn't the best, some small issues here and there.
Nice printer
Great print quality and perfect production costs. It just arrived when I was decided to buy a makerbot. Luckily me :)
Very high quality but also somewhat on the expensive side. Sometimes you lack some options and control, but it is so very easy to use and make so good prints, that it is not really a big issue.
Good
I would class myself as an expert printer builder and this is the best printer I have ever owned but best with a temperature mod.
Overall it's a great printer. Well build, reliable and almost plug and plug. A big downside is it's not compatible with 3rd party filaments due to it's propriety software (there are hacks though). In return slicing comes down just to choosing appropriate filament profile, res, and some basic option and you are ready to print. M200 was a great printer 3D printer 1-2 years ago. I think that today you can find cheaper comparable options.
The Zortrax M200 is one of the best Plug and Play machines out there. The quality is great out of the box and it is so reliable you can run 20+ hour prints without any problems.
Because the materials are proprietary, many argue that the filaments are expensive. I find this to be a not the case considering the quality and consistency of the filament that Zortrax offers. Those who own an open source printer including myself know that the quality of filaments on the market varies widely and many hours of tinkering is needed to get the perfect print. Zortrax just works from the first print onwards, which is why it is able to hold its reputation.
Great value,probably the best printer in 2016.Beated only by her sister M300. Maybe mid/high printing cost, due to proprietary filament (30/40%+ cost).But NEVER failed a print (and it's because of high quality filaments too ;) )Remember to make ordinary maintenance and you're done!
