1\ The UP mini 2 3D printer requires the power adapter provided by the original manufacturer, otherwise the machine could be damaged or even cause fire hazard. Please also keep the power adapter away from water and out of high temperature environments. 2\ During printing, the nozzle of the printer will reach 260°C and the print platform could reach over 70°C. Please do not touch these parts with your bare hands while they are hot not even with the heat resistant gloves included, with the machine as the temperature could damage the gloves and injure your hands. 3\ During printing, the print head and other mechanical parts move at high speeds. Touch- ing these parts while they are moving could cause injuries. 4\ Please wear goggles when removing the supporting material from models and detaching models from the perf board. 5\ When printing with ABS and PLA, the plastics will create a light odor. Please run the printer in a well ventilated environment. We also suggest you put the printer in an environment with a stable temperature as unwanted cooling could cause adverse effects to the print quality. When printer is exturding filament, make sure there is enough space between print head nozzle and the platform. Otherwise the nozzle could be blocked.
Printing Environment
As light odor will be produced during printing, please run the printer in a well ventilated envi- ronment. The UP mini 2's ideal working temperature is between 15°C and 30°C with a relative humidity between 20–50%. Printing at t temperatures out of this range could cause adverse effects to the printing process. When using the “Extrude” function, keep at least 50mm between the nozzle and the platform. If too close, the nozzle may get blocked.

Surface: the number layers at the sealing the top and the bottom of the printed object. Angle: This determine at which angle the Surface layers start to be printed. Dense: Choose the number of dense layers between support and supported surfaces. Angle: Determine the angle which support and dense layer to generated. Area: Determine the minimal area of surface that will be supported, area less than this vaule will not be supported. Space: Determine how desne the support will be, the larger the value the less dense of the support.
No Raft: print without raft. No Support: print without support Stable Support: Support structure will be stronger but less easy to be removed. Unsolid Model: The software will autofix nonsolid models Thin Wall: The Software will detect wall thickness that is too thin to print and expand the feature to a printable size. Preheat: Preheat  to target temp, or for 15 mins maximum.
Dense: Solid support structure ensures that the surface being supported retains its shape and surface finish. Infill: The inner structure of the printed object. The density of the infill can be adjusted. Raft: The thick structure that assists with the adhesion of the object to the platform. Surface: The top and bottom layers of the printed object.
The 9 buttons represent platform calibration point. The dropdown menu beside the button is for setting the leveling compensation values. After check- ing the leveling check box and click- ing these buttons, the nozzle will move to the corresponding posi- tions and move up based on the compensation value. Moves the platform up/down: click the +/- buttons to move the platform up and down. For sending the platform to a specif- ic height, input the value in the text field between + and - and then click “Move” button. Click "Set" buttonto save currently platform height as nozzle height. So if user click the 9 buttons, the printhead will move to correspond- ing position and platform will move to a height that equal to “value in the text field” PLUS the “compensation value" For example, high lighted button 5 has a compensation value of 0.5 and the text field has a number of 10, so when click button 5 the platform will go to 10.5mm. 1\ Initialize the printer 2\ Put a Calibration Card on the plat- form. 3\ Move print head to the middle of the platform by click 5. 4\ Raise the platform until it is just touching the nozzle. Move the Cali- bration Card between the nozzle and the platform to see if there is any resistance. Platform too high, nozzle is pinning  Calibration Card onto platform, Lower the platform slightly. Just right, can feel some resistance when moving the paper. Platform too low, no resist- ance at all when moving Calibration Card, raise the platform slightly. 5\ When the ideal platform height is obtained, record the platform height value. Repeat steps 1–5 for all of the other eight positions and note their platform height values. 6\ When you have obtained the platform height values for all nine positions, find the lowest value among all the values. In this example, the first cali- bration point has the lowest value and is thus the highest point on the platform. (The highest point of the platform require minimum amount of travel to reach the nozzle). 7\ Move the platform to the posi- tion with lowest platform height value as determined in Step 6 and - click the "Set" button. This will set this point as the "Nozzle Height". Platform Values at 9 calibration points (hypothetical):
Printer info will be displayed by clicking the small button on the top left hand corner of the connected printer icon. Information including printer type, serial number and firm- ware version will be displayed. User could also set a custom name for the printer in the name field.

1. Ensure optimal nozzle height. If the nozzle height value is too low, it will cause warping; if it is too high, it will crash the nozzle into the platform,causing damage and clog- ging. You can manually fine-tune the nozzle height value in the"Calibation"panels.You can try to adjust the nozzle height value plus or minus 0.1–0.2mm from the base on previous saved nozzles heights. 2. Calibrate the printing platform well. An unleveled plat- form usually causes warping. 3. Allow enough time for sufficient preheating.A well preheated platform is essential for printing large objects without warping. 4. The airflow on print head is adjustable, slide the air flow adjustment knob to change the amount of cooling direct- ed onto the printed object. Generally the more cooling provided, the better the print quality. Cooling also help with support and raft removal. However cooling also encourage wrapping, especially for ABS. To generalize, PLA can take strong cooling without prob- lem,while ABS should avoid cooling or give little cooling. For ABS+ medium cooling is recommended. 5. Printing with no raft. It is highly recommended to use raft for normal printing as it improves adhesion and is required for leveling compensation. It is turned on by default, but you can turn it off in the "Print Preference" panel. 6. Printing with no support. It is possible to print with out supporting structures.You can turn off support by choos¬ ing "No Support" in the "print" setting panel. Air Flow Adjustment knob
It is recommmended to change the HEPA filter in the filtration unit for every 300 hours of usage or 6 months. Air Filtration Unit Front View Turn anti-clockwise to open the cap.
It is not necssary to remove the print head cover if order to remove the nozzle. However if you want to, you can do so by removing the two philip screws (circled). Unplug the fan socket and pull out the print head cover toward you. Unplug the red and black cable to remove the cover freely. Heat up the nozzle to printing temperature by using the withdraw function in maintenace interface. When tem- perature is reached, the printer will buzz. Nozzle can be removed by using the nozzle wrench provid- ed.
