Hi Guys, I have been using my Up! Mini printer for nearly 2 years and it is still going strong. Love the printer and I hope you keep designing perhaps the most robust, affordable 3D printer. Love your work!!!
I totally agree. Mine keeps marching on, despite some tiny flaws that can easily be fixed :). Like the magnets not holding my extruder in tight enough…
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.
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).
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?
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
Hello all. Here are some pictures of the NEW UP Mini 2. I will be selling these soon from Texas but on-line anywhere in the US. pricing soon. There is more information about it on my NCS Company Facebook page. Please like my page while your there.
