Up Box 3d Printer

I have a brand new Up BOX printer (2 week old) running through a Mac Book Pro with a Clean Build of OSX El-Capitan (up to date). I bought the printer and vender software as an integrated package (hardware and software) since there are no compatible 3rd party software packages for slicing models for the printer.

During the sale, statements were made asserting that:
. product is used in schools implying quality and reliability in the package
. printer vendor software is superior to 3rd party offerings for quality and reliability of the output
. software is available for Mac and fully supported exactly the same as for Windows users
. printer could handle all the various filament types available, including the metal compound filaments (brass, copper, bronze), clay, brick, wood etc, implying user nozzle temperature control

In buying such a package, both hardware and software have to work and to specified quality (documented or as asserted by the sales person where user verification is not possible during the sale). The failure of either the hardware or the software to meet the specified quality is thus a failure of the product.

On the basis of the above assertions, I was prepared to pay a premium price for the package. The results I have achieved are anything but favourable, and do not support the assertions made during the sale.

When I got the printer home, I installed the current version of the Up Studio software from the Apple Apps Store, and proceeded to produce a few test prints (toys from Thingiverse) which produced promising results. But when I printed geometric or parts with large flat surfaces, I had difficulties.

Soon after I received notification that there was a new (production) version of Up Studio software available in the Apps Store so I performed an upgrade. Since then I have not been able to produce a successful part, demonstrated by the failure to reproduce a previously acceptable product. Tests of both library and personal designs all failed. The printer will not print solids at all and fails to print proper meshing between walls. The resulting objects have no structure to them and are totally wasted filament. Other objects, although passing all validation tests, are not sliced and printed to any form like the design, loosing walls, surfaces, shapes or shape sections, and structure. The extent of the failures in each subsequent test print got progressively worse, never better.

As per normal process, when the App Store upgrade was reviewed, there was no indication that the version available was anything other than a quality final production release. The quality of the software installed would clearly seem to be only a partially tested beta version. This is a failure of proper software management and release by normal professional standards.

Since there is no way of rolling back the current version of the software, the product is now an expensive brick. If there is no successful release of the Mac software in the next week, I will be returning the printer and demanding a full refund.

There is a good change that the issues may have been caused CAD models that were attempted to be printed. If the CAD models were not water tight geometry then this may have caused the software's inability to print the geometry. Note that you can download current and all previous releases of the software as well as beta versions from the following link https://www.up3d.com/downloads/software-archive/

UP BOX

We had been looking around for a 3D Printer to make prototypes for a while and after an online visit and a few phone calls to the 3D printer superstore the guys there helped us decide that the UP BOX was the unit for us.

As this was to be our first printer we didn't know what to expect but we were so pleased with our decision as soon as we opened the packaging. This thing looks amazing!! (and its BIG!)

The proof however was in the printing!! Following the step by step guide I had the UP BOX printing samples of our standard products within an hour and the quality was amazing.

Measuring with a callipers, the printed sample products vs the original die castings showed very little differences in overall dimensions as well as critical - approx: 0.10 to 0.13.

We are very happy with this unit so far and also with the service from the 3D Superstore and can highly recommend both.


This product has been replaced with the Up300 found -here-

The Up Box+ is no longer in production. It has been replaced with the Up300 which can be found here- Up300

Key Features-

Excellent Print Quality

The print quality on these printers is truly breathtaking. If you are looking for a printer with outstanding print quality, you can not look past the Up Box+.

High Resolution 3D Scan 3D Printed on the Up Box

This is a 3D Print of an ultra high resolution 3d scan. The model was printed using 3D Printer Superstore ABS white filament. This model was printed at 0.15mm resolution and has come straight off the Up Box+ with the support material removed. The detail is outstanding.
Large  Build Volume
UP BOX provide an build volume of 255x205x205mm (WxHxD) for extra large print jobs. Its large print platform enables small batch 3D printing productions to be carry out with unprecedented efficiency.

FullyAutomated Platform Calibration
A motorised probe is integrated in the printer for true automatic platform leveling and nozzle height detection. No human intervention is required during printer calibration, providing a seamless 3D printing experience.

Auto calibration sensor in action
Faster Printing with Higher Precision
UP BOX print 30% faster than UP Plus 2. I also prints at a 30% higher resolution of 100 micron layer height which gives the best resolution in the UP series.

Fully Enclosed Printing Environment
The enclosed build chamber maximizes temperature stability, enhance adhesion, the result is minimum warping for printing large objects. The Up Box+ now comes with perforated build platforms as well as a smooth platform for printing raft less models. 

Quiet Desktop Operation and Air Filtration
UP BOX produces very little noise compared to other 3d printers with a measured level of 51.7 dB. The built-in air filter absorbs volatile particles and fumes and odors. Feel comfortable working with it in the same room or the desk.

Smart Support Technology
Industrial leading support generation algorithm that produces easily removable support structures and improve print quality.  This advanced technology allows difficult and complex designs to be printed at ease. It also enables printing of more difficult models. Support material break of easier, reducing post processing times and resulting in cleaner underside surfaces.
This video demonstrates how easily and cleanly the support structures break off a model 3D Printed on the Up Box. This model was printed at 0.15mm resolution and the print quality is outstanding.
