Hello from Karlsruhe/Germany

Hello Ulti-Makers!

After more than one year 'read only' it was time for me to join the UM-Forum.

My name is Fabian and I am a student at the university of Karlsruhe.

Technically i don't have my own printer. The one I use is property of the "Arbeitskreis Kultur & Kommunikation" which is a small Institute on our Campus led by students.

My job is to maintain the printer, give basic workshops for CAD-Designing (openSCAD) and generally make the printer accessible to everyone who is interested in 3D-printing.

I must say that after one and a half year with that machine I have neither ran out of things to print nor to improve on the UM.

I installed something like a "closed build-environment" -which is pretty close to the one on the UM2-, a hotend from E3D, various belt-tensioners, heatbed, new fanducts, fine-tuned stepperdrivers etc. etc.

I really enjoy working on the machine and improving it and this forum helped me with getting new ideas and support on problems.

Thanks to everyone. You guys are special!
