i have build an Ultimaker from scratch. Its hard to gather some of the parts but when you get them theres isn't anything different from this printer to an i3 in the building. because its an controller and some motors. There isn't enough space for the ramps controller with fans on top. i have created some feet for mine, so i could get it little higher and enough airflow for the controller. But if you want you can make the lasercutted parts longer so you get some more space beneath.
And don't make the ultimaker out of MDF, use Birch or something else thats more resistant to moving parts.
I have had to build another z stage out of aluminium because the MDF was too soft.
The extruder is another thing, i have started out with an E3D instead of the original because i had it laying around.
But then you have to get another mount and maybe create it yourself
Good luck with the build i hope you succeed.
