Ultimaker, Blue Bot

This is my Ultimaker. They come in kit form and require no soldering or glueing. It proved to be very easy to build with all the parts fitting together perfectly, no drilling, cutting or filing. This one has been personalised using watered down wood dye (so that it shows the grain). A blue cable cover and heat shrink tubing. The final cosmetic task was to carefully retouch the robot. Apart from that I used recycled heat sinks for the stepper motors to allow for an eventual heated (or chilled for PLA) enclose with ducted motor cooling.
