I’ve had some opportunities to tool around with an Ultimaker 2. Considering that I’ve been dreaming about seeing how my sculpts might look built from stuff instead of bits, this is pretty exciting for me.

So, without further ado and (I think) in chronological order:

1. Printing Bad

4. Who Needs Hands?

More PLA on this one. Wonky supports gave this poor guy some issues with his wrists.

5. PLA Punk

Custom support structure under the chin left this one with a permanent beard, unfortunately.

6. Legen-Dairy! (Very tenuous PLA reference)

I think this was at normal layer height which is disappointing as it looks very rough indeed. May well be just too small for the model. Bigger NPH coming soon!

And finally, with a little help from blu-tac and the twisted imagination of my missus;
