This elevator was missing its 5th floor number so I made a replacement! One of the more practical applications of a 3D printer.

Ultimaker 2
Recently I gained access to an Ultimaker 2 which has opened me up to the world of 3D printing. Rapid prototyping allows me to create my ideas, artistic, practical, or both, in a couple hours or less. Here are some of those projects.
