UP Plus 2 3D Printer User Manual v 2013.10.24
10.4 Print Options:
Speed: Fine, Normal or Fast. This simply determines the speed at which the printer moves. As a
general rule, the slower you print, the better the quality of the parts. For tall parts, running at Fast
speed can be problematic as the printer can vibrate to the extent that print quality is affected. For
large surface area parts, the Fine setting can be problematic as the printer takes longer to print the
part and the corners are therefore more likely to lift a little bit.
UnSolid Model: This function is useful for printing STL files that are not perfect. A perfect STL
file is a fully enclosed surface (water tight), with no holes in the surface skin, and no overlapping
surfaces. If your file is not perfect, this option should allow you to print it anyway.
TIP: Once the print has started, you can unplug the USB cable from the PC. The print job is
stored in the printer’s internal memory, so the computer is no longer required.
10.5 Extruder Vent “wind barrier”
The lever that is located on the extruder vent “Wind barrier” does the following:
Door Closed Door Open

Each printed layer bonds to the previous
layer better, making for a stronger part.

The under sides of printed curves have a
rougher finish.

Recommend for large parts.

Support material is harder to remove.

The heated platform is not affected by
the airflow, so reduces warping of the
raft from the platform. Having the door
open during pre-heating can cool the
platform unevenly thus resulting in
warping.
• Each printed layer bonds to the previous
layer less, making for a weaker part.
• The under sides of printed curves have a
smoother finish
• Recommend for small and intricate parts
• Support material is easier to remove.
• Delaminating can occur in the model, try
with the door closed.
• Recommend to keep the door closed during
pre-heating of the platform, and open the
door after the raft section has been com-
pleted to reduce chances of warping.
Having the door open or closed really depends on the type of model you are printing.
