UP! Plus 2 Fully Assembled 3D Printer

A small, reasonably priced 3D printer that offers an out-of-the-box printing solution. It can print ABS and its heated build platform adjusts automatically. The build platform has a volume of 5.3" x 5.5" x 5.5"  cm and it can print at a layer height of 150 microns. It is known as the Afinia H480 in the US.

Because 2015 is almost over and a fast growing |(evolving) new generation 3d printers are in our reach. When looking for a printer I asked several manufactuer to produce a sample based on a model I supplied. The Up Plus 2's quality was far higher than other, better known printers with seemingly higher resolution.

Great 3D Printer that work, just work, if you have the right material and want to print object that is not complicated so much it is the best 3D Printer to choose, the software will give you the best support structure that can be made. you can't use other materials, the ability to change the settings like temp, speed etc. is not exist in the software. you can't do that unless you use FixUp3D hack but it can't make the software be like Cura, there is some parameters that still can't be accessed.

I have been using the Up plus 2 and its older brother the Up plus for over 5 years they are excelent printer with high quality finish.

You can buy it with best price on Amazon.com

Product Description

The UP! Plus 2 3D desktop printer has an open frame, all-metal white chassis and fabricates objects using 1.75 mm ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) or PLA (polylactic acid) thermoplastic filament (sold separately), with a vertical resolution from 150 to 400 microns (0.15 to 0.40 mm). The printer can build objects to maximum dimensions of 5.3 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches/135 x 140 x 140 mm (H x W x D). The included printer management software runs on a Windows or Mac OS X computer, reads Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files generated by computer-aided design (CAD) software (sold separately), and commands the printer through the provided USB cable. An included platform-level calibration device can be used with the software to help ensure a level build surface. The software can also read the included nozzle-height detection device to calibrate the nozzle's vertical position for accurate operation.

The extruder has a heat and wind shield that helps prevent injury, and redirects air to help cool the material for a fine finish. A metal build platform heats to 105 degrees C to help provide thermal stability. A perforated cell board fastens to the platform by spring clips for a secure fabrication base. Solid metal guide rails and precision slide bearings help ensure precise movement. The belt-driven stepper motors meet the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standard ICS 16-2001.

3D printers fabricate physical objects directly from computer-aided-design (CAD) data sources. Objects created by additive manufacturing are built by dispensing successive thin layers of molten material onto a moving platform base from a robotic extruder nozzle. The material is most commonly a thermoplastic or HDPE (high-density polyethylene) filament.
