HELLOOOOOOOO remember me,... maybe not. Anyway.... life keeps on trucking... I convinced my new company to buy a ultimaker 2 extended. It arrived yesterday, We already printed our first 3 prototypes with a great quality. Seems like ultimaker has done a great job in improving the quality of its product !! RESPECT ! I had nightmares that I would be excusing one bad print after another but no... everything NICE AHHHHHHHHHHHH back into ultimaker world... feesl good I have to say. Plus now im a normal user.. I can walk around the forum.. chat and share experiences wearing my Winny the Poo bed things... and no one will ever know Lovely to be back guys. Big hug. Ian

beautiful work !! I love minatures Ian

can i ask, has any one ever tested PA12 or Nylon 12 in a water tight test ? Ian

yes. just ordered a ultimaker 2 extended and have to do a lot of prototyping for my new company. motor boat engine design ! Ian

thanks guys. lovely to see you chaps again. Ian

Thanks a lot Peggy for the helpful information ! Im going to have a close look now. Ian

the material PA 2200 is.. of course nylon-12

Thanks guys for the nice words. I just ordered the big Extended ultimaker 2 for my new Company. So you might see me a Little more on the Forums from now on Ill never loose my love for ultimaker ! Ian

Can I make a PA 2200 (White strong material from Shapeways) model, water proof with some sort of spray coating ? I know this is not directly ultimaker related but I know the People on this Forum are the smartest guys around for this type of question. Why I ask is because I need to print out a rather large model 250 x 250 x 60 mm battery pack Shell casing that my Company is developing. We are getting one printed from shapeways for around 260 euros. But trying to find a Company that can print the same prototype model in a water tight material that we can also shock and Vibration test seems to be a Little tricky ? Any ideas guys ? Thanks guys. Ian

Thanks guys. The new link or should I say old link.. works ! thanks Robert ! A little update on myself... healthy... but over weight... unemployed... in love..... there is always give and take in life... right ? Big hugs. Ian

My 2015 Presentation at Fabcon Erfurt Germany. What I learned from the Ultimaker forum development. Good and Bad. Enjoy... PS... yes I have eaten a few too many donuts the last 12 months ! Ian

Hi Robert when i click your link i get this... http://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=umforum&e=com Get your domain name today, we make it easy So is there any connection between the old forum I knew and this new thing...? Ian

I wanted to pop in and say hello but I cant seem to see any of my old account messages... are they deleted ? Ian

so.... what should I say....a big wet kiss and irish hug to all the super people on the ultimaker forum..... XXX

cool present idea :-)

i know the whole forum will roll their eyes sky high... when I ask this... but was the presentations filmed by any chance ? Ian :-)

Hi Jemma ! :-) How long have you been waiting ? Im sure Sander will get onto this for you and solve the problem quickly. Its just.... a pity you can get direct answers from ultimaker... I guess they are still under manned in customer services... God Bless and best wishes to Dublin from me ! :-) Ian

sounds like you had a ball :-) Ian :-)

true true !!

dont worry.... i never give enough information to actually help others.. just enough to tease and annoy them ;-) HEHEHE....

life is just ... to short to waste in a go no where job.. we spend a massive amount of our lives working and handing that time over to some jerk off bosses for enough money to pay the apartment bill at the end of the month.. no thanks... technically in germany.. being unemployed and happy offers more opportunity for a change in career than staying in the same crap job. Ian

that's a really cool video !! and it its cool to see a lot of the ultimaker guys and users hanging out. Ian :-)

did I see Aran with the amazing beard help the ultimaker guys setup ? Thanks a million for the super video George !!! Ian :-)

I have 2 more months of trial.. then I know if I have my job or not.... I hate the wait... im working like a lunatic to get everything done on time and make everyone happy... but im running out of steam now... sleeping 9 and 10 hours every day... working... eating and sleeping... i don't want to loose this job... its the first time in my life im getting to design new products 50 hours of the week... designing amazing machines that that cut flip print, dry, glue... everything and at high speed. I love it... working on a new cutter for a machine at the moment.. a new option to allow paper to normally flow through the machine path... but also allow for the sliced end paper to be sucked out through a very fine opening... the wheels that grab the cut paper have to have the right spring tension and positioning from start standard usage position to the heaviest paper that machine can digest... add in that around this new addon... their is 0.5 space between the next moving part... and Iv designed the whole thing to be a PLUG N PLAY unit.. just need to swap two screws from the main body and your rock n roll..... GOD LET ME DO THIS AMAZING KINDA WORK UNTIL IM 99 years of age... SCREW becoming a pensioner... I want to make more machines... :-) HEHEHEHE
