Re: Is platform too hot?
Hi, quarksurfer I printed the base and dial of Combo lock(scale 30X). the base is warping and the dial is very good. the base is a little big for a open space extrude printer. I use 0.3mm layer thick, loose fill, 3mm base height. Maybe 6mm or higher base height is better. A few suggestion for printi...

I have had my machine for about a week now and I'm already almost halfway through a spool. I have observed the following, and would like to share some things that I think you could do...

Re: Cleaning extruder and nozzle
'pretend' to print something is one way, but I prefer the "Extrude" function in maintain dialog.
After the temperature of nozzle reach over 250C, click "Stop All" button to stop heating, then clean the nozzle.

Re: Models that are giving me issues.
Scarab Box has normal error, the facets are reversed, so it is red in UP! software. The model need fixing before print.

hi, select smaller amount on "Dense" and larger on "Space", the support will be more loose.

Re: Support material question
I just printed my first project. the resolution is incredible . at .2mm you can barely see or feel the layers! at .25 it is a really impressive, and better than printers that cost 10x that i've used. Congratulations! :) 1) there is internal support material that I can see (in hollow areas), but can...

Re: printer system error
Hi all,
the printer statuse is "system error" when the printer power on, because the positions of extruded and platform is unknown.
Please initialize it (select menu "3d print->initial"). The printer will search the origin of xyz axis and beep.

Re: Driver under Windows 7
Hi all,
We test UP! software on Win7,X64, UP! can run, but can't link with Printer.
The USB driver is for X32, can't be installed in X64.

Re: Z-axis Skipping
hi ml,
Did the platform sticks at the 130mm? Maybe the obstruction is friction between shell and platform bracket.

I am yet to get my printer so are you able to confirm the power outputs (voltage and amps) and max draw (amps) of the three power packs. If possible I would like to look at amending my UP! to only required a single power connection soon after I have run out of things to print ;-D Sampler The next G...

Re: UP! Electronics - Hackable?
As far as the third power supply, it's for the filament supplier. I believe the other small power supply is for the heated build platform. That leaves the large power box, which juices everything else. One small power supply is for supplier, the big power box is for heating and driving stepper moto...

Re: We Need More Suggestions

It is easy to update software for CNC milling, but we can't change the mechanic design. The electronic equipment of UP! can be used to control a CNC machine. :) Dar...

Hi Parkolay, It would be nice to "pan" the modeling space using the mouse. With the software you can select different views and this is OK, but I would like to be able to move the view using the mouse like on other 3D modeling software packages. Please try the middle button, UP! is similar with Soli...

Re: Extruder temperature / black burnt spots in prints?
Hi all, 105C for the bed and 270C for the extruder when start print, and the temperature is change when printing. The black spots often appear at a small area, because the small area is hotter, and often warp. Support area often warp too. We can't find a solutions. :oops: and still work on. Darkhouse
