UP BOX 3D Printer, Black

This is a great printer no regrets. ive run 3 spools of material through it so far and no problems. wrapping and layer splitting is gone. the only down side is its a single extruder but i can live with that small flaw. this is simple a great printer

Thanks Tiertime!!!

Great printer with an air filter, but for this model you can get it on ebay for almost half price used.

I got what I was looking for, the just have to update the software

One of my top choices in 3D printing. I own 9 different brands or models printers, but I own 3 of these and they are my go-to printers at my company. They run nearly 24/7 in my studio. They use perforated boards as their main board to control control curling and create strong bed adhesion without glue or other means.First, I need to explain the main reason for the 4 stars as well as the work around:The problem is the auto-calibration is not perfect, I often find it sets the gap/nozzle height too tight. It is an easy fix; do auto calibration, then center the extruder, and manually set the nozzle height. Luckily, you only have to do this once in awhile.Notes (neither pro nor cons):Use Z-ABS or a high heat ABS (above 260C.) Also, Z-ABS is great filament.You will need to hook a computer up to start the print, but then you can unplug it once the print starts (you can pause, change filament, re-print, etc. by the use of buttons on the side and pressing them in a certain way; they have the button press patterns under the top door.)The extruder is easily removed, so I would buy a replacement to reduce down time if you want to run a lot (bought 1 spare for my 3 printers.)It is quiet, you can hear it running when in the same room, but barely.No PLA, so if you have to have PLA, that is a con.Having to print on a raft (you can turn it off, but I don't recommend it) means a minor waste of material. I usually use a raft on all my printers, so not a con for me.Pros:Easy to use.Fast.The support and raft breaks away clean and easily (as long as you use TierTime or Zortrax filament.)Accurate.Great support!Easy to maintain.Large build area.HEPA filter.Durable.Consistent.The include software is easy to use, but has weird things like "dormancy," which means it will shut the printer completely down after the print is done.Cons:Autocalibration is hit or miss (see above for the work around.)The film on the smooth (called flex) board tears easily.You will need to have an external filament reel if you use anything other than TierTime filament (minor inconvenience.)Large footprint.No SD card or LCD.TL;DRVery small learning curve, but all in all a great large printer at a great price.

Dec 2015 I purchased the Afinia H800 that is a re-branded UP Box because the company is located in my home town. I print exclusively in ABS and always get the best results using the UP branded Premium + filament. In the last year I have run about 30 500gr spools of filament with few failures. As with all FDM printers they have some issues and are not as user friendly as we would like. For the price as of Nov 2016, I cannot find a better value printer for printing large functional prototypes with ABS.
