Calibrate Printer; Install Filament - TierTime UP mini 3 User Manual

3.6 Calibrate Printer

All the UP mini 3 3D printers have gone through the calibration process in our factory. However, due to bumpy
shipping conditions, we strongly recommend you conduct platform leveling and nozzle height adjustment before
your first use of the machine.
Click the "Calibrate" button on the touchscreen, and make sure the nozzle is clear away from the print platform.
If the nozzle is very close to the platform, click the "-" button to reduce the nozzle height. Click the "Auto" button
to kick start the calibration process. The extruder will start moving and do 9-point matrix leveling and the nozzle
height adjustment process.
The whole calibration process can take several minutes. Once the process is finished, click the "Back" button to
return to the main menu.
Note: Before the calibration process, make sure the tip of the nozzle is clean without any residue, otherwise, it
will introduce extra delta in the nozzle height which could affect the print quality.

3.7 Install Filament

In order to keep the consistency of the print quality, we recommend using Tiertime Fila filaments on Tiertime 3D
Printer. Our operational software, UP Studio has the optimized parameter settings built in, which will ensure the
best printing experience.
There is a 500-gram UP Fila PLA spool that comes with the printer. Install the filament spool in the following steps:
1, Take out the PLA spool from the vacuum bag.
2, Use the cutting pliers in the accessory to trim the end of the filament making sure it is flat.
