Spoke to Mark from 3DPS on telephone and it was decided (by me) to order on line on same day. This was a Thursday. I received the printer next day. I think they are in Melbourne and it made its way to Sydney within 24 hours! I ordered a couple of filaments which were in another box. They got delivered together. The printer itself performs as advertised - precise PLA 3d prints every time. Cheers Mark.
The Up Mini 2 ES is a more advanced version of the original Up mini 2 3d printer with improved hardware and software enabling enhanced management and control in a classroom environment. An ideal choice for schools.
This 3d printer builds on the success of the legendary Up 3d printers from Tiertime and introduces the very latest innovations in user interactivity. The Up Mini 2 ES takes 3d printing to a new level of sophistication, ease of use, performance and safety. With quiet operation and HEPA air filtration, the Up Mini 2 theideal desktop 3d printer for home and office. Additionally the capacity to control multiple 3D Printers via WiFi from one computer or smart device make it the ideal choice for education in the classroom.
The UP Mini 2 ES is the same size as it's predecessor with a 120 x 120 x 120mm build volume but now has an increased print resolution of 0.15mm layer thickness. Additionally, print quality has been improved with refinements to the extruder head assembly resulting in improved surface finish as well as a hotter heated bed which controls warping of 3D printed parts.
Tiertime has gone to great lengths to push the boundaries of innovation, refinement and quality with the Up Mini 2 SE. We have seen many glossy flashy looking 3d printer startups and kickstarter projects over the last few years which always disappoint in seen in real life. This is not the case for the Up Mini 2 which is a true high performance 3d printer and thing of beauty. The level of finish and build quality is outstanding. A modern design icon that will stand the test of time and provide many years and be the pride a joy in anyone's desk or classroom.
The Up Mini 2 is fully enclosed making for an effective heat chamber. LED lighting and now transparent doors make it easy to monitor the progress a print.
Technological improvements include a touch screen with intuitive interface. Tiertime’s new Print Queue allows more than one user to send print jobs to the printer simultaneously. Files to be printed appear in the queue’s print list on a first come, first serve basis.Automatic nozzle height calibration and WiFi connectivity, USB stick or Ethernet for maximum security
You can now control multiple Up! 3d Printers wirelessly and effortlessly from one computer, smart phone or device via Up! Studio, a mobile app making it even easier to use.
Improvements to the user interface and overall user experience have been improved with the introduction of a 4 inch full colour touch screen.
With regard to safely and use in enclosed and desktop environments, the Up Mini includes eco friendly built in air filtration with the inclusion of a HEPA filtration system. 3D printing certain materials such as ABS can generate potentially harmful UFP and VOC emissions. The HEPA and Activated Carbon filter effectively reduce these toxic elements, known to be triggers for those suffering from asthma and other pulmonary disorders.
The Up Mini 2 includes it's own separate filament holding candy that also includes a handy draw for your essential (included) tools
“UP mini 2 has the latest features available on 3D printing market, and it has also fine tuned those features to provide the best 3D printing experience…We have given much thought about intuitive user interfaces to create more consumer friendly 3D printing environment,” said Tiertime CEO Allen Guo. “As a world leading 3D printer manufacturer, Tiertime’s greatest motivation is to meet the increasing demand for consumer 3D printers on the global market. “We believe that UP mini 2 will become the best entry level 3D printing gadget for students at schools, kids at home and 3D printing fans everywhere.”
Last but not least the Up Mini has a convenient carry handle. How convenient!

Have conducted several scans now with the raptor, very happy with the end results. It should be noted that further software and or skills are required to do anything further with the scans beyond processing the point cloud. I purchased adobe substance which is able to take the scanned object and fill it in, this is necessary if you wish to make 3d prints from the hollow scanned items. Otherwise very happy with the experience so far, four stars awarded as it is still early days and I have no other scanning experience to compare to. Scanner itself is well made and comes with everything you need to get going albeit a computer to run the software. Looking forward to future projects with this new tool.
I have run through lots of this as a secondary school teacher and found this filament to be smooth and operates well in our new 3D printers. I've had few issues with printing and have been happy with the results. I have lots of other colours in the same batch so have good choices for print jobs.
