Page 9: Initialization Of Printer
Two ways of initialization: 1. UP Plus 2 can be initialized by clicking initialization option in the menu which is shown above. 2. The printer has an Initialization Button in front of the machine shown in the picture below. - Page 10 Software Interface Quick functional Buttons Main Menu Status Bar Display the statsu of printer and Print Plate software. - left mouse click and hold, moving mouse to adjust camera angle. - Right mouse click and hold, moving mouse to move print plate. -Mouse wheel could scale the print plate view.
- Page 11 (eg. slightly tilted platform) and this could cause warping of prints or even complete failure. Fortunately UP Plus 2 has automatic platform calibration and automatic nozzle height detection functions. By using these 2 functions, the calibration process could be finished quickly and easily.
- Page 12 There are 3 screws under the platform of UP Plus 2. These screws can be fastened or loosened to adjust the leveling of the platform. In "3D Print" - "Maintainance" window, user can move the print head to 5 difference postions on the platform.
- Page 13 Automatic Nozzle Height Detection After autoleveling, remove the platform leveling device unplug the 3.5mm cable from it. Plug the cable into the 3.5mm interface of the Nozzle Height Detection Device. Hit "Nozzle Height Detection" in the "3D Print" Menu. The platform will rise slowly until the nozzle height detection device hit the nozzle.

Calibration for the Correct Dimension If prints are too big or too small or skewed, user could re-calibrate the printer to print in correct dimension. The method is to print a calibration model, measure its dimension and feedback to the software. L o a d a n d p r i n t t h e calibration model: C : \ P r o g r a m F i l e s \ U P \... -
Page 25: Printing Techniques
Printing Techniques 1. Ensure accurate nozzle height. Nozzle height value too low will cause warping, too high will crash nozzle to 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. -

Please use UP filament. 4. For some model, if PLA consistently cause problem, switch to ABS. 1. Install the printer driver correctly. Cannot detect the printer 2. Check for defective USB cable. 3. Restart printer and Computer Contact technical support: Others support@tiertime.net... - Page 27 1.Setting Nozzle Height Setting nozzle height, actually, is not setting the nozzle itself as UP Plus 2'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 28 Protocol for setting nozzle height: Open the calibration interface and press the UP key, note the current height value, stop the platform at about 115. Put print paper on platform. Initialize printer Hit the "5" button. Nozzle will go to the center of the platform. Raise the platform until it is just touching the nozzle.
- Page 29 Platform too high, nozzle Just right,could feel Platform too low, no i s p i n n i n g p a p e r o n to some resistance when resistance at all when the platform, Lower the moving the paper. moving paper, raise platfrom slightly.
- Page 30 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 throughout the XY plane.
