1. UP Plus 2 3D printer requires power adapter provided by original
manufacturer. Otherwise machine could be damaged or even cause fire
hardzard. Please also keep the power adapter away from water and high
temperature.
2. During printing, the nozzle of the printer will reach 260oC and the print
platform could reach 100oC. Please do not touch these parts with bare hand
while they are hot, not even with the heat resistant gloves included with
machine as the temperature could damage the gloves and your hand.
4. During Printing, the nozzle and print platform will move at high speed, do not
touch these parts while they are moving.
5. Please wear goggles when removing the supporting material from models
and detaching models from perf board.
6. When printing ABS and PLA, slight smell will be produced, please run the
printer in a well ventilated environment. We also suggest you put the printer
in an enviroment with stable temperature, as unwanted cooling could cause
adverse eects on print quality.
7. When UP softwre is sending data to the printer, where the status bar on the
left bottom corner is showing "sending layers", do not unplug USB cable as
this will disrupt data transfer and resulted in printing failure. USB cable can be
unpluged after data transfer was nished.
8. UP Plus 2's working temperature is between15oC and 30oC relative humidity
20%-50%. It is recommended to discharge static charge from user's body
before touching the machine to prevent interruption of printing and potential
damage to the printer.
