1. Safety and Printing Environment
1.1 Safety Precautions
1. The UP300D 3D printer requires the power adapter provided by the original
manufacturer, otherwise the machine could be damaged or even cause fire. Keep
the power adapter away from water and out of high temperature environments.
2.During printing, the temperature of the nozzle of the printer could reach 300°C and
the temperature of the print platform could be over 100°C. Do not touch these parts
with your bare hands when the printer is in the operation mode, not even with the
heat resistant gloves included in the accessories, as the temperature could damage
the gloves and injure your hands.
3. During printing, the print head and other mechanical parts move at high speed.
Touching these parts while they are moving could cause injuries.
4. Wear goggles when removing the supporting material from models or detaching
models from the build plates.
5. When printing with plastic filaments, the process could generate slight and, for
some people, annoying odor. It is recommended to run the printer in a well ventilated
environment. We also suggest to keep the printer in an environment with a stable
temperature as unwanted cooling could cause adverse effects to the print quality.
6. When using the “Extrude” function, make sure there is enough space between the
print head nozzle and the build platform. 50mm is recommended, otherwise the
nozzle could be blocked.
7. Fasten moving parts. Tie back loose hair, secure loose clothing and keep all
printer doors closed during operation.
8. Do not leave the printer unattended during operation. Watch to make sure the first
a few layers adhere correctly.
9. Adult Supervision: Adult supervision is required in the presence of children. Small
printed parts are a choking hazard, and always keep sharp tools away from children.
5
1.2 Printing Environment
As the slight odor could be generated during printing, keep the printer in a well
ventilated environment. The UP300D's ideal working temperature is between 15°C
and 30°C with a relative humidity between 20–50%. Printing at temperatures out of
this range could cause adverse effects to the printing process and print quality.

4.2. Install Software UP Studio 3.0
To operate the UP300D, you need to install the UP Studio 3.0 software on your
computer. Although UP Studio 2.X can also work with UP300D, it does not support
dual extrusion function and is obsoleted.
You can download the installation files of UP studio software from the following url:
https://www.tiertime.com/downloads/software
System Requirements:
Supported Operating Systems:
Windows 7 (SP1) or higher (64 bit only)
Mac OS 10.10 or higher
Hardware requirements:
Open GL 2.0
At least 4GB of RAM
Installation
Make sure you download the correct version of software based on your computer’s
configuration.
4.3 Update the Touchscreen Firmware
We regularly update the Tiertime 3D printer’s touchscreen program. It is important to
make sure your UP300D’s touchscreen system is up-to-date before the first use and
pay attention to the upgrade announcement for touchscreen system in the future.
1. Download the UP300D Touchscreen Upgrade Program from
https://www.tiertime.com/touchscreen-upgrade-program/
2. Save the file to the root directory of the USB drive which comes with the UP300D,
and make sure the file is named as “UP300D_x.x.x_update.tt” (Case sensitive), x.x.x
being the version number.
3. Insert the USB drive to the USB socket under the touch screen, and turn on the
printer. Wait until the printer is fully ready, go to Information Page, and press the
“Upgrade” button. Follow the instructions on the touchscreen afterwards.
4. Keep the USB drive handy for the future use.
