Ultimaker 2+

Screen Shot 2022-09-18 at 2.36.00 PM.png

I made an Ultimaker 2+ 3d printer in TinkerCad because I use it a lot at my school and I thought it would be interesting/cool to try to make one in tinkercad. (notice: does not actually 3d print)

Supplies

TinkerCad account

images of printer (or just look at it if you have one)
