What printer do you have Richard? I printed my quadcopter frame on my printer, but haven't had time to fly it for a while.

I am an absolute beginner when it comes to flying, spent more time on the ground crashed than I have in the air, lol. So no, no FPV just yet.

what autopilot are you using .. I started with a Naza v1 .. way back .. and it was super nice. I build a DJI 550 for my 1st one ..

Test flight was fun .. did it in the house after building it .. had no help just did it and .. it was fine .. tho I was told after from people I now fly with it was crazy to do that ..

But that after a bit turned in to a TBS Discovery and then got upgraded with TBS motor and ESC .. Flown that out to 3K.

I had a Ritewing Z2 but had a landing problem and hit a rock on landing and its ripped it so thats just taking up space ..

I have a Ritewing Z3 I have finished thats been 4.5 miles out and up in to the clouds

And I have a P2 thats just simple in a case to take away and places with me .. simple easy flying but as it all goes in a bag its nice to have to take places

Heard about it but never used it. But it looks a very good product.
I use Buildtak with UHU glue on it so I can get my print off it

I have been using kaptop and pritt stick on to my glass .. Have 3 plates so I can remove and put another one in while I let it cool / have fun removing but no warping :-)

works well .. but some parts are hard to remove at times ..

Be nice not to have to replace the kaptop tape after a few prints or a hard to remove part...

Anyone else using the Voltivo ExcelFil from OC ?

Can I ask if the Ultimaker 2 would be a sensible purchase with a budget of £1800?

Thanks

It's a work thing, so there are restrictions on who I can buy from. Only have until end of the week to get the order in, which is another issue.

should have said in your first post dude. I would do a lot of reading and reviews of printers.

I had a look when I originally made the case to get get the funding and the Ultimaker 2 seemed to tick all the boxes and get good reviews. Haven't had chance to look again properly in all honesty.
