With enough filing, you can make anything fit into anything. I had to file the bottom two left front pins down substantially. It fits together, though it wobbles a little on the counter.
What did you find when you tried to slot a left panel into a front panel? Did all the pins fit? How did your measurements compare to the ones I made? If you rarely have problems with the machines fitting together, then it seems like something must be defective with the panels I received, because they definitely had problems.
My main concern is how well the z axis is aligned to the x,y plane, because I don't see any adjustment for that and if it is off, tall objects would be skewed. I don't think I have gotten the machine tuned up well enough to test for this yet.

Hi Avi,
What progress have you made with your frame?
With filing some parts, have you managed to successfully put it together?
We build a lot of Ultimakers yes, but we run into fairly little problems, I can say rarely, when it comes to the dimensions of the frame.
We are going to review the instructions for the Ultimaker Original and create a more organized version with instructions and tips&tricks. This was already on the planning.
I am looking forward hearing what the current status of your Ultimaker is and if there is anything I can still help you with.
