| ====== How to use the UP Mini ====== | |
| |
| In order to use the UP Mini there are a few things you'll need to do. | |
| - Check Printer Filament | |
| - Take a look at the printer filament spool and ensure there's enough filament on the roll for your print. | |
| - A good rule of thumb is for every square CM of your print there should be 15CM on the spool. | |
| - Initialise Printer | |
| - On the attached PC, run the 'UP 2.18' software. <WRAP center round info 60%>The Up Studio software isn't working with this printer anymore.</WRAP> | |
| - On the Main Menu click 3D Print and then Initialize. | |
| - Insert Bed | |
| - Check the printer has a bed inserted, if not find a spare perfboard which should be with the printer. | |
| - Slide the perfboard into the slots on the 2 sides of the platform, using your hands to support the platform and pushing down and forward with your thumbs. | |
| - Test extrusion. | |
| - On the Main Menu click 3D Print and then Maintenance | |
| - Hit "Extrude" button. | |
| - The printhead will start to heat up, within 5 minutes the printhead temperature will reach 260 degrees then the printer will buzz and the print head starts to extrude. | |
| - Watch the printer push the filament out, making sure it's not coming out sideways. If it is, report it to the #digifab chat. | |
| - When it completes it will beep again, pull the filament out and it should be a nice smooth coil of filament. <WRAP center round important 60%>Do not reach up towards the nozzle, reach down towards the bed.</WRAP><WRAP center round info 60%>If it is bubbly or textured report this to #digifab chat.</WRAP><WRAP center round info 60%>If the filament doesn't come out at all, report this to #digifab chat.</WRAP> | |
