Page 11: Initialization Of Printer
XYZ aixs will move slowly and hit the endstops. This is essential as the printer need to find the endpoints of each axis. Two ways of initialization: 1. UP mini can be initialized by clicking initialization option in the menu which is shown above. Initialization Button 2. - Page 12 The other functions of Initialization Button: 1. Stop current print job:During printing press and hold the button. 2. Switch On/Off print head LED:Quick double hit of the button. Platform Calibration Plarform calibrate is the most important step for successfull printing, as it ensures the first layer adhesion.The actaual calibration is done by measuring the distance between the nozzle and platform.Ideally, the distance between nozzle and platform is constant, but in reality the distance varies at different position due to many reasons (eg.

Page 13: Platform Calibrate 1.Setting Nozzle Height
Platform Calibrate: 1.Setting Nozzle Height Setting nozzle height, actually, is not setting the nozzle itself as UP mini's print head does not move in the Z-axis. Here the nozzle height we are refering to is a platform height value, at this height, the platform will be just touching the nozzle (thus "nozzle height"). - Page 14 Platform Too high, nozzle Just right,could feel some Platfor m too low, no i s p i n n i n g p a p e r o n t o resistance when moving resistance at all when the platform, Lower the the paper.

Page 15: Setting Compensation Values
Platform Calibration: 2.Setting Compensation Values As shown in the left, when platform is at the "nozzle height", only part of the platform is touching the nozzle. Therefore we need to set compensation values for all other calibration points to inform the printer about the distance between nozzle and print sur face thorughout the XY plane. -

Page 27: Printing Techniques
Printing Techniques Precautions to ensure print quality: 1. Ensure accurate nozzle height. Nozzle too high will cause warping, nozzle too low will crash into platform causing damage and clogging. It is possible to manually fine tune nozzle height value at "maintenance" and "print preview" panels. User could try to adjust the nozzle height value plus or minus 0.1 - 0.2mm base on previous results. -
