If we are going to get this forum really cooking. We should atleast give it a push in the right direction and this temporary 2 minute photo shop job of a banner just wont do it any more. So if any of you chaps have 5 or 10 minutes free time and can cook up a really tasty new banenr graphic, that would be a super help. I will try myself this week. And if we can put together something really nice by the end of this week. Then we can sent it off to the ultimaker gods and ask for the update .... Ian

Hi guys. Im going through the forum and removing some blatent spammers. if you spot any thing, can you post the tread link here and i will zap them. Thanks and best wishes. Ian

i asked the same question on the google group and they said the complete opposite. I am still in the opinion some one should just pull the plug completely on the google group and just post one big link to here. Id all users were here, the ultimaker guys could get much better contensed feedback about their service and product. Also just organising the information would be so much more productive. What ever weaknesses there are with the forum format, they can all be resolved with a little php hacking. The forum is the future. Ian

Hi Dominique. There are a few other chinese sources for copied ultimakers. But and its a big but, the quality is sometimes.... questionable and also you do not receive any help from the people that actually designed and made this amazing product possible. Also the price is almost the exact same and for me, i would like to but a product from the real makers and creaters than save 50 dollars and buy a questionable knock off. About the nozzle, to be honest i have seen incredible details printed from the normal standard nozzle that comes with the ultimaker. far far better than any thing the reprap can bangout. so basically stick to the best and buy from the ultimaker guys. (your link above) Good luck and please keep us updated on your ultimaker ! Ian

I think it is becoming a little silly having this offiial ultimaker forum and at the same time, a totally seperate google group ? The ultimaker community is growing solidly in the last months and we need to keep together. We are much stronger together helping us make the ultimaker the best 3d kit printer in the world. But we need the ultimaker team to sit down one evening with a coffee, copy over all the content from the google group and shut it down. Then with all the content logged on this forum, users can easily use the handy search option to track down info and help. Also we get to meet other cool ultimaker users that simply stick to the google group ? There is of course one other option ?? if the ultimaker team is too busy ?? a few users here can just start backing up every thing from google group onto this forum and then just spam, every seperate entry in google group, that the tread will be continues and supported here ? that is the HARDCORE SHUT DOWN option ? Any way else in favour of getting all the guys together ? community is better than two seperate parties. Ian

i just read your full site page about the ultimaker. really interesting and simple to follow so very nice production ! thank you. Ian

congradulations !! can you please post photos of your results. it is easy to attach a fast photo to your forum tread. best wishes. Ian

hi Andrea! when you get your ultimaker, is there a default position for these feeder wheels or is it just... go by feeling and tighten ? Best wishes. Ian

first question for this forum section, what is 5D ?? Thanks. Ian

i just wanted to say the day In Bavaria was brilliant ! Florian and the other ultimaker users were really great and full of ideas and florian took his time to really explain to me every part of the ultimaker magic. It was a super ultimaker weekend ! thanks guys for all the help. I hope to put up some of my photos and videos on the net tonight. Ok ulti people, best wishes. Ian :-)

has anyone built any new houses or structures with their ultimaker ? I am really looking to compile some nice structural examples. Thanks. Ian

why would you buy from a copy cat company ? when you can buy the same with gaurenteed quality and great support from the ultimaker crew. kind of a no brainer ? Ian

super interesting tread.!! please continue, very cool stuff here and good luck with the build! Ian

i wonder are the ultimaker company helping with this project. would be quite an interesting advertising for ultimaker ? cool. Ian

thank you. very funny that this man puts these model photos together with his reprap photos ?? can i ask what is resin cured 3d printing ? is that totaly differenet than addictive printing ? thanks. Ian

very cool thing. Ian http://laughingsquid.com/le-bigrep-a-la ... d-printer/

i found this. I know it is a product of a reprap and not ultimaker, but i cant imagine the reprap could make this and the ultimaker not? nice to see really nice clean arch models coming out of these maschine... my future work goal... Ian http://www.db-rep.net/portfolio/digital-fabrication/

thank you ! Ian

i was reading in the google group that many users are saying that buying netfabb for the 150 euros to just stupid and we dont need it in the process. If i removed netfabb from my process, what other open source software can look at my model, mark out the trouble areas and helo me fix them ? thanks and best wishes. Ian

should i be reading and posting on the google group and not here ? is the google group better than this forum ? Ian

a few ideas slicerdicer cutme solidtransformer solidslice razorblade ureeeka more to come. hope that helps a little. Ian

and what can you do with a heated working platform ? Ian

thanks daid for the cool idea about the roof ! very smart.! I just found this picture now, I would only print this completely in white PLA 3mm plastic. This is the type of model my bosses are hoping for to start with. Of course I hope to produce for detail as time goes by, but this would be the expected starting level I think. Fingers crossed. Ian

CadSpan looks very interesting and could really be a good addon for me, As I will be using ultimaker to produce quickly building models. I will give it a try today. thank you for the tip! Ian

http://www.sumpod.com/ I just found this today. Interesting little printer for a fair price... Ian
