Up! Mini - A legendary 3D Printer

[Arthur_7]

I am also a huge fan of the Up Mini!

When my first nozzle broke i imediatly bought a second one, and later the first one got repaired!

unbreakable machines with constant quality! Love them!!

Awsome printers, I’ve got the 3 printers from PP3DP/TierTime and they are great !

And recently, on the official forum, someone has uploaded a tool to change temperature (Fix Up 3D on google) !

I prefer the UP Plus 2 to the UP Box, even if the build plate is larger…

Up mini Rocks. Though my first one suffered a motherboard breakdown after 2 years, I didn’t hesitate to buy me a new one. They became a lot cheaper then my first one fortunatly, and I love it. Always nice prints. Especially with ABS. One of the best.

I agree, I have one Mini, five Plus 2 and one Box. The best one is the Plus2

I have mine for just over one year now and it’s awesome!!

I always recommend it to people who want to start 3D printing because it’s so plug and play!

Same here. My UP Plus 2 really is a Professional Plug & Play 3D Printer. I just so happen to be a Tiertime reseller. They have a new one called the UP Box. Larger build volume, faster.

Just thought I’d take a second to plug the fume extractor I designed for the Mini that fits any old 60mm 12V fan and a cheap $3 hepa filter. I love my unit too, but I still don’t trust being around ABS fumes at all times so I made this to ease my mind a little.

This looks great, do you have any photos of it on the machine?

Can you share why you prefer the Plus 2? I’m considering the Box especially for it’s built-in HEPA filter.

The filter on the BOX is superb, really impressed with it. Even the lowest quality, smelliest ABS works great.

Wow I just checked your hub - a lot of happy customers.

Could I ask if you use the Box in a well ventilated area? Unfortunately the only option I have if I’m going to get a printer at all is to have it basically in the family living room and I’m very concerned about the health risks.

I might be able to mitigate that by using mostly PLA but - does the Box handle PLA well without needing to open the enclosure? I saw you have it on your hub as a regular material.

[Steelmans]

My office isn’t well ventilated at all (unless I open a window). The Hepa filter does and amazing job.

The Box prints PLA great without opening the enclosure but I mostly only print ABS and it is fine, even better if you use the original UP ABS (the matte stuff).

[Yakiimo]

Great to hear! To make sure I understand, you mean the ABS vs ABS+ right? Have you used Nylon or any other kind of non-abs/pla?

[Steelmans]

Both ABS and ABS+ are great but I found that ABS is more odourless. I only know this because I opened the door mid-print. Under normal use you won’t notice the difference.

Take the plunge, you won’t regret it!

The UP mini 2 has a HEPPA filter built in! It also has wireless connectivity so theoretically you don’t need to be near it anyway haha

[Yakiimo]

Thanks for your advice - I did just get one. It’s been more hassle than I thought it would be, but the quality when it works is great! The enclosure and filtering have been doing their job well also.

I just posted some

Works pretty well, though I accidentally glued the filter in lopsided hah. But the hot glue sealed it up anyway so it works like a charm.
