Hi folks...

I just ordered my Ultimaker2 and can’t wait for it to be delivered.

I’m a complete newcomer to the theme 3d printing. and am curious what to expect with such an ingenious device.

Some facts about me... I am 27 and work in a relatively down to earth and respectable profession with all its policies and - if possible - solid processes.

I've wondered a long time what hobby suits me and what I could really enjoy myself and break a little from this "professional" world and do something creative.

...besides the little bit of fitness which I operate, so that the working life doesn’t lead to a completely lazy bones ;-)

I hope to find a lot of people who are just as enthusiastic in creating something own and share it with the world.

Enough about me ...

Let's be creativ and create things;-)

 

Oh wait.... The printer's still not even on its way ... =(

 

I wish you a nice evening ;-)

You should create things in 3D BEFORE you get the printer, so when it gets there, you can start printing rather than fiddling with 3d models.

Grats on your purchase!

Hi Sven. Welcome.

I think i'm with Valcrow on this one. The printer is at the end of the process rather than at the beginning.

Do use 3d cad software or are you planning to download models from the web?..or?

Regards,

David

Welcome to the forum Sven !

As the guys said above.... the ultimaker2 is a cracking good 3d printer.. you just need to sit down and see what amazing things you want or need to 3d print ? are there things in your home that are broken... print new ones !! ;-)

or do you have a nice motorbike with small parts missing.. print...

or did you ever imagine building a new home with 3 swimming pools.. make a 3d model and print it...

start simple.. print and that will drive you crazy to make more stuff....

if you dont have to much experience with 3d modelling, pick something simple and free like google sketchup.

and start putting together simple things...

Have fun in NRW !!..... i absolutly love those amazing NRW police advert videos !! ;-) LOL
