4. Printing
TIP: One of the keys to successful printing on the Up is platform preparation
and preheating. Particularly with large parts, there is a tendency for the
edges of the part to lift from the platform (which is a little colder than the
center) and cause the parts to warp. The best way to prevent this is to
ensure that a) the platform is perfectly level, b) that the nozzle height is
correctly set and that c) the platform is very well preheated. It also helps to
run the printer in a room that is not too cold (ie warmer than, say, 18C and
free of drafts.
Please ensure the following points are taken care of before printing:
Connect the 3D printer, initialize it, and set up the printing system. Load the
model and place it properly on the virtual platform of the software window.
Check if there is enough material for the model (the software will, generally,
tell you if there is not enough material when you begin the print). If not,
change the reel to a new one.
For large models (over 40mm2) results can be improved by preheating the
build platform. Click the ―Preheat‖ option on the ―3D Print‖ menu and the
printer begins to heat the platform. Let the platform get up to 100C before
beginning to print.
The little ―door‖ in the wind barrier of extrude head
is used to adjust the airflow to have good printing
quality for some certain models. Generally, it should
be closed (like the right picture), since warping or
or split issue would be caused if blow too much.
Only for the ball-shaped models and models with very small features or
sharp end (like tower), the ―door‖ should be opened. Because the heat from
the extrude head would be blown away soon with much blow, and models
can be solidified in a very short time so that the surface would be better.
Click menu 3D Print->Print‖, and the print dialog box pops up. Choose
Preferences to set the printing parameters. Click OK to begin to print.
