I took a few images of various devices, is that what you want or was it more of general shots of the event

I took a few pictures but I shared them through the social media channels.

But here I go again; I will do my best to organize them by event.

I see the organizing them by event failed big time.. but hovering your mouse over the picture will give you some more details!

In the background of the very first picture - with the girl kissing the UM robot - is Luis Rodriguez who is a frequent poster over on ultimaker google groups. Luis also organized the big Kansas City MakerFaire last year and he helped out at both Ultimaker booths NYC. I'm the bald guy in the second picture down. I also helped out UM at MakerFaire NYC. It was non-stop crazy busy both days.

I noticed the picture of a globle, and is it printed by UM2? If yes, UM2 can support dual colour printing?

A globe. That's printed on a UM Original. With the dual head upgrade. The dual color printing doesn't work all that great (not on the makerbot either I hear) and is still being worked on. Best results occur if each head doesn't sit idle for more than 3 seconds. So the globe is an okay print because there is a good mix of colors.

The problem is the non-printing nozzle keeps dripping very slowly and puts spots if the wrong color in strange places on your print.

Daid has some interesting Marlin code that cools down the non-printing head if it won't be used for a few layers. But he's probably too busy with the UM2 right now.

edit: Or maybe most of the code is in Cura?
