Ultimaker 2 Enclosure
Usefulness is the best way of getting something to be known. Make it well, make it usable, make it reproducable. Since this project is open source, anybody could potentially build this. However, in the mean time I will do my best to get it seen by others. This can be achieved by submitting it to various Maker faires and such. There could be a possible model for making kits available for people to purchase. However, the first plan is to perfect the functionality, construct enough to outfit all necessary Ultimakers at our FabLab. If the usefulness truly is as good as I believe it is, then one has a good experience of usage for this product. And if it is useful for us, it will be for others as well. The product should sell itself. It looks impressive when viewed, and I am to keep the build quality high.
