The Raise3D Pro2 Plus is a professional large-format, dual-extruder 3D printer with a 305 × 305 × 605 mm build volume, delivering high-resolution prints (down to 0.01 mm) in a fully enclosed, production-ready setup. Its Electronic Driven Lifting Dual Extrusion system enables fast nozzle switching with 5-micron precision, while 300°C hotends and a 110°C heated bed support 40+ filament types, including flexible, engineering, and composite materials. Designed for manufacturing, prototyping, and education, it includes a HEPA filter, power loss recovery, filament run-out detection, a 7-inch touchscreen, wireless connectivity, and integration with ideaMaker software and RaiseCloud for streamlined, professional-grade workflows.
What is the print quality and performance of the Raise3D Pro2 Plus 3D Printer?
The Raise3D Pro2 Plus offers 0.01 mm layer heights, ±0.1 mm dimensional accuracy, a top benchmark score for precision, and fast 1.5 mm nozzle retraction for clean dual-material printing. The ultra-fine 0.01 mm layers give smooth surfaces with minimal lines, while 0.1 mm layers show more visible stepping, especially on curves and overhangs.
PLA Samples produced by Raise 3D: The 10-micron purple model has a smooth, uniform surface, while the 200-micron brown model shows visible layer lines and a rough texture.
The precision motion system achieves ±0.1mm accuracy for engineering and prototyping. A rigid metal frame and advanced components reduce vibration, while the optimized print head ensures consistent extrusion.
Benchmark testing gave the Pro2 Plus a perfect 5/5 for dimensional accuracy, with strong Z-axis quality and minimal XY resonance. Though fine flow control and steep overhangs showed room for improvement, it scored 17/30 overall, proving competitive with top-tier printers.

Even when upgraded with the Hyper Speed Upgrade, the Raise3D Pro2 prints 200% faster without quality loss. A full test print at 0.1mm layer height using Hyper Speed PLA finished in 4 hours 32 minutes, maintaining fine detail on columns, overhangs, thin walls, and precision holes. This removes the usual speed-versus-quality trade-off in 3D printing.
The Raise3D Pro2 Plus uses a dual extruder with electronic lifting, retracting the inactive nozzle 1.5 mm in under a second to prevent interference and support flexible filaments.
The dual extrusion system cleanly separates colors by lifting the idle nozzle, preventing cross-contamination. This allows detailed, multi-component prototypes with precise geometry.
The Raise3D Pro2 Plus has pre-calibrated bed leveling for consistent prints. Its magnetic aluminum build plate ensuring optimal heat distribution and prevents warping with high-temperature materials. Before leaving factory, every Raise3D Pro2 3D printer is tested for bed leveling.
Case Study: At Foothill High School, Mr. Farr leads a five-course engineering program in CAD, machining, welding, and robotics. His team set a world record by stacking 21 cones. The school uses five Raise3D printers in the program.
Case Study: A Foothill High School student used Raise3D printers to prototype parts for a high-performance electric skateboard, improving design through iteration and reducing costs. He later applied these skills to prosthetic leg concepts, exploring custom sockets using 3D scanning and printing.
Which filaments can you use with the Raise3D Pro2 Plus 3D Printer?
The Raise3D Pro2 Plus supports over 15 filament types, including PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, Nylon, PC, and composite materials with glass, carbon, metal, or wood. Its open system and dual extrusion work with both Raise3D and third-party 1.75 mm filaments. An enclosed chamber prevents warping in materials like ABS and Nylon, while a HEPA and charcoal filter reduces fumes. Interchangeable nozzles (0.2–0.8mm) allow for adjustable detail and extrusion. The Open Filament Program provides slicing profiles for over 139 3D printing materials via the ideaMaker Library: https://www.ideamaker.io/ofpMaterials.html
PLA test prints showed high detail and handled complex geometries well. Large single-pass prints were rated from “good” to “magnificent,” with excellent quality despite minor shrinkage and artifacts.

What is the build volume of the Raise3D Pro2 Series?
The Raise3D Pro2 Plus has a large build volume of 305 × 305 × 605 mm (12 × 12 × 23.8 inches) with one extruder, or 280 × 305 × 605 mm (11 × 12 × 23.8 inches) with dual extrusion. It is 30 cm taller than the Pro2.
What is the difference between the Raise3D Pro2 Plus and its competitors?
Raise3D Pro2 Plus — Tall-part, dual-material workhorse: 605 mm Z-axis in a factory enclosed chassis with HEPA+activated-carbon filtration and an electronically lifting dual extruder for clean interfaces and soluble supports — aimed at reliable, long prints and multi-material jobs.
In contrast:
Prusa XL — Wins: big 360×360 mm XY and up to 5-tool changer for multi-material; segmented 16-zone heatbed. Loses: open frame by default (enclosure is optional), lower Z (360 mm) and 290 °C nozzle ceiling vs Pro2 Plus, and no built-in filtration.
Modix BIG-60 V4 (kit) — Wins: the largest volume here (600×600×660 mm) and extreme throughput with Griffin Ultra (rated ~500 g/h, 160 mm³/s), plus optional IDEX. Loses: self-assembly kit with optional enclosure and no active chamber heat; very large footprint.
Bambu Lab X1 Carbon — Wins: automation & speed—500 mm/s head speed, 20 m/s² accel, Micro LiDAR, rich closed-loop fans, onboard 1080p camera. Loses: much smaller build (256³ mm) and single toolhead (no independent second nozzle) vs Pro2 Plus.
UltiMaker S8 — Wins: refined dual-extrusion with auto nozzle-lift, up to 35 mm³/s flow, advanced Cheetah motion planner, and a broad 2.85 mm ecosystem with Air Manager. Loses:smaller volume (330×240×300 mm) and much shorter Z than Pro2 Plus; enclosed volume is < 50 °C (open-loop).
Tall parts, clean dual-material with lift, ready-to-run enclosed setup
Big XY and multi-tool flexibility
Largest volume & high-flow throughput options
Speed & automation (LiDAR, sensing) in compact cube
Polished dual-extrusion and broad 2.85 mm ecosystem
Bottom-Line: Pick Pro2 Plus when you need tall parts and ready-to-run dual-material printing in a filtered, enclosed machine; choose Prusa XL for large-area, multi-tool projects, Modix BIG-60 for maximum volume/throughput (and you’re OK with a kit and optional enclosure), X1 Carbon for speed & sensing in a compact cube, and UltiMaker S8 for polished dual-extrusion and an open 2.85 mm platform—but with a smaller build.
