Unboxing and First Print

First(-ish) 3D print on my Ultimaker 2.

It has begun! :)  I have started putting up pictures and videos of my 3D printing escapades.  The first instalment in this story is the unboxing of my new Ultimaker 2 and doing my first print(s).

Unboxing

Woohoo!  New toy! ... Er... Tool!  Yeah, tool! :)

Ultimaker Silver PLA

The printer came with Silver filament.  I was expecting blue.  Oh well.

Extra Nozzle Kit

I also included an extra nozzle kit when I bought the printer.  I did it because the Teflon part is considered a consumable and It would suck to have to wait for a replacement kit to be shipped to me. :)

First Print!

Well, technically it was the second print.  The first print was the earring that was included on the SD card.  But I gave that one away to a friend who was with me at the inaugural printing. :)

This is my first print: The Ulimaker robot, of course.

Robot Backside

This is the backside of my first Ultimaker robot.

Factory Test Print

This is the test print that came with the printer.  It was printed at the factory on my very machine to prove that is works. :)

Factory Test and First Print

Here is my first print robot along side the factory test for comparison.
