No, not yet, I just didn't want to start with the newest version, have it not work, then have to backtrack until I found something that worked. I've been using the same version for a long time now because it was working fine, but I figured I should get the latest version that works since I'm putting...

Thanks.

Do you have anymore info as to why they dropped support after this version?

Hi, I have the very early PP3DP UP! Plus I purchased in 2011 that does not have the "upgraded" electronics that came out a little after (I think it combined the stepper drivers onto one board instead of several or something? It's been too long, I can't remember). What is the latest version of the PP...

I will be making a cross country move soon (in USA, not that it matters really) and was wondering what people recommend as far as disassembly/packing for moving my printer (PP3DP UP! Plus). I'd like to just leave it all assembled, but I feel like my print head would get damaged if the moving truck h...

Does anyone know of something that could be painted onto the surface of an ABS part to make it food safe for dry food? Does dry food even have a toxic seepage problem with non-food safe materials (assuming nothing toxic was previously put in the container)? I was wondering specifically because of a ...

Well I tried again with scaling to 0.6 and all I got again was a raft. I did the scaling in the actual Up software (scaled the whole bracelet), maybe I'm supposed to do it in the CAD software before hand? I will try and experiment a little more, but I am doubtful I will get it. When scaling, the br...

Octave.com also stocks official filament for roughly the same price, though they may brand it "Afinia", which is exactly the same thing as the UP! with rebranding of questionable necessity.

So, are we all in agreement that the powered filament feeders are unnecessary and don't affect anything? Like I said, I have the powered DC feeder, but, if I don't need it, I'd like to just replace it with the passive-style feeder and free myself of that gear grinding noise the DC feeder makes. If i...

I see the latest UP! and Afinia models have a non-powered filament guide that just passively guides the filament into the "straw" on its way to the extruder. Where can I download this part? I have the old DC powered filament feeder and it works fine, but I'd like to go ahead and print out the passiv...

I think the best way to go about it might be to get the school district or at least the school itself to buy one as a "shared" thing and allow various classes/departments to use it for various projects. That way, the printer will see more frequent use and its cost will be more justified. However, as...

Man, that black does look good! I'm so pissed about this, I bought 2 spools of natural ABS and then the colored spools debuted like a week or two later! I've been wanting to print in black for so long... Does the black hide imperfections as well as the natural, though? Does it have that "softening" ...

Stratasys has a very cash grabbing business model. Their printers are all about being the best FDM possible with no cost saving measures whatsoever. To be fair, they do accomplish this, but it's hardly worth the price difference for most users. UP! tends to be a little more cost-effective by allowin...

I think much of this has to do with warp issues and the fact that a fully solid print would probably warp really bad. That is a good point, however, about the ability to drill. I personally never print more dense than the "loose" or 2nd densest fill (depending on which version of the software you us...

I've been incredibly happy with my UP! prints using the PP3DP plastic, but I can't help but notice how much cheaper the stuff on eBay, etc. is. Has the quality gone up in the past few months since I've last ventured out into the web? Is it worth grabbing a 2.2 lb or even 5 lb chunk of plastic to sav...

Update:

Never actually took the extruder head apart. I went out and made sure I had pure acetone this time and soaked the nozzle for about 18 hours. After that, the nozzle was like new. Best prints I've ever had since then.

Well, that was short lived :\ So, after a couple successful prints post-clog, it has started jamming again. I think the culprit this time is the feed gears as they probably got the teeth full of plastic when the nozzle was clogged the first time. Does anyone know where I can find teardown instructio...

Success! So, I soaked the nozzle in acetone and then poked the hole with a sewing pin from both sides and apparently that was enough to clear the clog. My assessment is that some of the ABS that managed to attach to the nozzle and burn (you know, that black soot that forms on the outside) found its ...

I have another question regarding this: Can I extrude with the nozzle removed? I ask this because if the clog reaches into the "shaft" (lets call it) prior to the nozzle, then even a new nozzle won't fix the problem. I don't see any reason this wouldn't work, but just thought I'd ask if anyone else ...

From my personal observation, it happens where support material is present and the angle is greater than about ~15 degrees. It also tends to be bad when the object is especially tall. I think the primary culprit is how the print attaches to the support material as since it is the same exact material...
