The UP Plus 2 is an FDM 3D printer that can print layers at 150 microns. The surface finish is not as smooth as you get with the more expensive printers, but is more than enough for prototyping and household use. The printer is engineered to provide continuous dimensionally accurate prints.

The UP Plus 2 has a single 0.4mm nozzle, giving you the best balance between speed and detail.
The print head runs on rails, which makes printing reliable, fast and precise.
UP Plus 2 prints with PLA, ABS and other materials.
The extruder comes with a fan for printing with PLA-type materials. By cooling the model down, it reduces warping, stringing and, generally, makes for higher quality prints.
This kicker looks really good so far.

The UP Plus 2 has a heated, metal print bed, which can reach up to 105°C. It makes the printer suitable for printing with ABS-type materials. The perf board helps reducing warp.
One user 3D printed a John Snow’s Longclaw Valyrian Steel sword from Game of Thrones. Made of ABS+, it has been realized at 0.3mm layer height with 13% infill.

To ensure high reproducibility, we recommend installing an enclosed print chamber. This way the print quality would not be affected by temperature fluctuations as a result of drafts and other factors.
The UP Plus 2 features an open-material system and prints with 1.75 mm filament, providing you with a wide choice of materials. It is capable of printing with a variety of filaments matching all your design purposes.

The build area is 5.5 x 5.5 x 5.3 inches (140 x 140 x 135 mm). Larger models can be printed in parts and then assembled using acetone (for ABS) or glue (for PLA).
For example, this Eiffel Tower has been printed in thirteen parts and is nearly a meter tall.
The printer is controlled from a computer via USB cable. With the right upgrades, the printer might also be operated from the UP Studio App over Wi-Fi.
Also, 3D models can be printed from a USB-tethered computer.
The printer operates with Tiertime’s UP Studio slicer. This simple-to-use, intuitive software provides you with practical features that facilitate both slicing and printing process. Smart support generation, assisted calibration, auto-leveling, and defect detection will turn your ideas into printed models effortless. It runs on Windows, Mac OS, and iOS and supports the most common 3D model formats available.
