I know that guy! Jason Lopes - he was at 3dprintshow this past February. In NYC. Here's a picture of him with Sander:

Sander gave him this Ultimaker 2.

Sander gave him this Ultimaker 2.

 

Good thing, I thought for a sec he was taking it back

Sander gave him this Ultimaker 2.

 

But then it got damaged shipping it back to California, so I gave him another one :-)

haha I was gonna say. I know Jason, really nice guy.

And I also know he is very happy with his Ultimaker 2 (the one Simon send ) but unfortunately they are veeeery closed in what they are using it for..

I guess it won't be a full size robot model for Pacific Rim 2... these Ultimakers are just a tiny bit too small...

 

[SandervG 1,519]

that is what one might think...

But have you read https://www.ultimaker.com/blogs/news/2014/08/15/world-s-first-3d-printed-petition-to-help-save-elephants blog?

A real life sized elephant printed on a couple of Ultimakers!

(ok ok, it is not a full size Pacific Rim Robot.. but it is pretty big!)

So, this might be a next job for Joris...

What might the print time be for a full size Pacific Rim Robot assuming the z expansion used in the elephant project and the number of existing Ultimakers worldwide (i.e. a slightly bigger version of project egg )?

.. your guess would be as good as mine
