UP! 3D Printer User Manual 3
1. Introduction
1.1Howtousethismanual
This User Manual is divided into four sections which cover the Introduction,
Overview, Operation, and Troubleshooting. Please study this manual carefully before
installation, and use the printer according to these instructions. Keep this manual
handy and refer to it when necessary.
1.2Precautions
Please read this section carefully before using the printer.
1.2.1 Safety
The printer can only be used with the power adapters supplied by this company,
or the product may be damaged, with a risk of fire.
To avoid burning, or model deformation, do not touch the model, nozzle, or the
platform by hand, or any other part of the body, while the printer is working or
immediately after it has finished printing.
Protective glasses should always be worn when removing support material,
especially PLA.
The brown sections of the currently supplied gloves melt at around 200 degrees,
therefore please do not hold the extruder block with the gloves.
There is a slight smell from ABS when it is being extruded. The smell is, however,
not too unpleasant. A well ventilated room is recommended by most people to be
safe, however when printing keep the printer away from any draughts as this can
affect the warping of ABS prints. When ABS is burnt is releases toxic fumes.
The following classifications are used in this manual.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in serious injury.
1.Introduction
UP! 3D Printer User Manual 4
Gloves: When performing certain maintenance procedures, the machine
may be hot and gloves are required to avoid burns.
Safety Glasses: Wear safety glasses to avoid injury to your eyes.
1.2.2 Protection
The printer must not be exposed to water or rain, or damage may occur.
Do not shut down the UP! System or pull out the USB cable when loading a
digital model, or the model data may be lost.
When using the “Extrude” function, keep at least 50mm between the nozzle and
the platform. If too close, the nozzle may get blocked.
The printer is designed to work properly at an ambient temperature of between
15°C and 30°C and humidity of between 20% and 50%; Operating outside these
limits may result in low quality models.

UP! 3D Printer User Manual 5
2. Overview
The UP! Printer is designed with ultimate portability and simplicity in mind. The
system and software allow you to print great models with only a few keystrokes, even
if you have never used a 3D printer before. The system uses a nozzle to deposit
molten plastic, so printed parts are strong and durable. Congratulations on purchasing
an UP! Printer.
