+ | ====== 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. <callout type="info" icon="true">The Up Studio software isn't working with this printer anymore.</callout> | ||
+ | - 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. <alert type="danger" icon="fa fa-warning">Do not reach up towards the nozzle, reach down towards the bed.</alert><callout type="info" icon="true">If the filament is bubbly or textured or doesn't come out at all, report this to #digifab chat..</callout></WRAP> | ||
