I keep throwing them away in frustration actually! I shall keep the next few failed. I am trying a little owl now and a little ghost from Thingiverse.
Quick question for you though, when I input a object into Cura, should I be using the expert options or just the basic to output the gcode? Im not trying anything crazy, just a few small things.
IM also finding the machine quiet loud, not in a horrible clanky sound, more like a working fine sound but just that its noisey, has anyone built any sort of enclosure to help reduce sound and store it out of site?

Ah I will take a look!
First thing that my printer seems to be doing is starting to extrude before it actually gets to the bed, which means there is like a thin tendril of plastic sticking out the hot end that then tends to get mushed up with what it is tryng to print.
The things I has printed ok are the Ultimaker bot, but even that looks a little ropey, its under ears and arse are not really very well formed.

Howdy Guys,
I finally bought an Ultimaker 2, been looking for a nice one for a while.
I have managed to print off a few bits bits but so far I must admit am a little disappointed. I would say 95% of prints fail in the first 30 mins or so. (It seems really random which will work and which wont)
I was wondering if there is anyone in the Surrey / Weybridge area who would be up for having a chat over the phone but also maybe checking out the machine to see if I have made any noobie mistakes.
Of course there is a dinner and a beer for anyone who can help
Thanks in advance!

Be very careful of this ebayer. He has been reported as Shill bidding on his own listings, and is very untrustworthy.
A group of us on Reddit have been discussing him and his activities.
BEWARE of his current listing - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultimaker-2-3D-printer-/181683650912?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a4d308160
Just thought I would let everyone know.

Will send pm in the morning.

Hi all,
Want to buy a Ultimaker 2 in good condition. Ideally in Surrey area so I can take a look before I buy.
PM me or reply in here if you have one.

No they were meant to be brand new by all accounts. Or that's what the guy told me who was selling.
Very strange.

HI All,
I am very new to the world of 3d printing and this community so helloa!
In short I have been looking for a good deal on Ultimaker2 in the UK and have found some great deals on them on ebay. But alarm bells are slightly ringing as they are £1300 about £500 cheaper then buying through a recommended reseller.
Are there such a thing as fakes? I have asked a few questions to the seller and each time they have replied in a friendly and timely manner.
Any advice would be fantastic.
Take a look -

Do you have a picture of what your slooks like, as im not sure if im just expecting too much tbh. I saw the different fan mounts but what is the benefit? also I was a bit scared about unscrewing stuff!
I litrally haven't messed with any settings at all, do I do that in Cura or should I be doing that manually when the print is going?
