Our take on the Guider 3 Ultra
The Guider 3 Ultra is a workshop machine, not a desktop one: dual extruders, a nozzle up to 350 °C, a 120 °C bed and a 330 × 330 × 600 mm build volume, the second tallest in the catalogue after the giant Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga. It's aimed at studios, technical classrooms and small businesses printing tall parts in engineering materials.
Dual extrusion lets it combine two materials in one part, for example a soluble support with the main material, which on single-nozzle machines means turning to AMS-style systems. It comes enclosed, with a camera and automatic levelling, and slices with Flashforge's build of OrcaSlicer or with FlashPrint.
The downsides come with the category: it weighs around 70 kg, needs a permanent spot and its price puts it among the most expensive in the catalogue. The chamber is enclosed but not actively heated. For home use, an enclosed desktop machine like the Creality K2 Plus offers more than enough in far less space.

What materials can the Guider 3 Ultra print?
This comes from four facts on its spec sheet: the nozzle reaches 350 °C, the bed 120 °C, and the machine is enclosed with a direct-drive extruder. Those four facts decide most of the list: nozzle temperature sets the ceiling on what you can melt, the bed decides whether the first layer sticks, the enclosure keeps large parts from warping, and the extruder type rules flexibles. We don't test the machine — this is guidance derived from verified data, not a guarantee.
In short: it prints PLA, PETG, TPU (flexible), ABS, ASA, Nylon (PA), Policarbonato (PC) without a fight.
| Material | Prints it? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Yes | Yes. PLA has no special needs: any FDM printer like the Guider 3 Ultra prints it out of the box. |
| PETG | Yes | Yes. With a nozzle up to 350 °C and a bed up to 120 °C it comfortably meets PETG's needs. |
| TPU (flexible) | Yes | Yes. It has a direct-drive extruder, ideal for flexibles; prints TPU well (go slow). |
| ABS | Yes | Yes. Nozzle up to 350 °C and an enclosure: it contains ABS's warping and fumes. |
| ASA | Yes | Yes. Nozzle up to 350 °C and an enclosure: it contains ASA's warping and fumes. |
| Nylon (PA) | Yes | Yes. It reaches 350 °C and is enclosed: it prints Nylon (dry it well first). For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
| Policarbonato (PC) | Yes | Yes. Nozzle up to 350 °C and an enclosure: suitable for PC. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
