We’re hard at work producing the Ultimakers for the people who ordered first. One of the workhorses is our lasercutter, which we use for cutting the plywood and perspex the Ultimaker is built of. It also marks the parts with numbers and text so it is easier to build the machine.
Also the first kits will come with a pre built printhead to make it easier to assemble. The thermocouple board on top has a bright blue LED which looks nice when the head is moving.
Seeing a project come to life like this has been so exciting! Great work guys!
This is so awesome! Quick question for how many orders will you ship the print head assembled? Thanks! This is really tremendous work!
Cool video, Martijn! What type of laser cutter is that??
Any update to when Ultimakers will start shipping?
It’s a trotec Speedy 300, with a 60 watt laser synrad laser.
We shipped the first batch today including your machine
Woohoo!!!
@Alex
when i was at the last day of the workshop (to take a look and decide whether to buy a kit or go for a reprap etc.) Erik said the first five would have the print head assembled…
thx for the update BTW!
