UP Plus 2 3D Printer User Manual v 2013.10.24
7.2 (not required) Manual Platform Height Setup
If using the automatic method, you don’t need to do the manual setup. Please read this care-
fully to ensure that you understand the manual platform height setup procedure, as it is vital for
successful 3D printing. To print successfully, the platform should be set to a distance of 0.2mm
(folded piece of paper) from the nozzle.
To work out the correct nozzle distance, please follow these steps:
Click “3D Print” and click “Maintenance”, the below dialogue box will open.
Windows version MAC version
In the text box, type in the height to which you want the
platform to move to, and click the “To” button. In the
above example, the platform will move to 134mm. The
UP Plus has a print height of 135 to 138mm.
Note: You do not want to crash the platform into
the nozzle, so increase the height in smaller and
smaller increments as you get closer to the
nozzle. If you do crash the platform into the
nozzle, it is best to initialise again.
Check the distance between the nozzle and the platform.
If, for example, the platform appears to be about 2mm
away from the nozzle, increase the number by 1mm and
click the “To” button. As the platform gets closer to the
nozzle start increasing the number in the text box by
0.2mm increments and click the “To” button. Repeat this
until you get to within 0.2mm of the nozzle. TIP: An easy
way to check the distance between the nozzle and plat-
form is to fold a piece of paper in two (Which will make
it about 0.2mm thick) and use that as a spacer to gauge
the distance between the nozzle and platform.
TIP: If you find you get lifting at a later
stage, increase the platform height.
Now click “Set to Nozzle Height”.
Now click “To Bottom” in the Maintenance screen.
