UP Mini 2 ES

Excellent service, delivery and follow up

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.

Great service but shipping took a while

Have had great customer support from what is the best purchase for my needs, filament and any question I had.
There was no pressure from any staff I dealt with.
From placing order to receiving my printer and now playing with it. Nothing other than pleased. Thanks

Easy-to-use online shop, super-quick delivery & I was 3D printing within 1 week!

Only slight criticism would be to somehow show GST earlier on in the shopping experience.

It was a good service. Could have been better if there are confirmation emails regarding delivery estimate.

Great first 3d printer, easy setup, great prints, Mark was very helpful, Would shop with him again and would recommend the up to anyone ..

The UP! Mini 3D Printer is the first 3D printer I have used. The setup and software for user are very user friendly. after setting the print height correctly, all of my prints have been coming out without any warping or separating. A great first printer.

Fantastic Service, purchased on Tuesday morning online, was able to pickup in store Tuesday Lunchtime. No issues whatsoever, would highly reccomend this company.

Although this is the first 3D printer I have owned, as an industrial designer I have some knowledge in this area. I think this is the best budget printer on the market. It comes virtually out of the box, ready to go, with a variety of tools such as gloves a scraper etc to get yourself started. The software included is simple and easy to use. The only thing that was an issue for me was driver installation. However, once this is oversome it works well (I am using Windows 10 with no issue)

I've used an UP! Mini 3D printer at my university before, so I'm quite familiar with the product already. Even so, I was surprised with the ease of setup, and extensive support. I was printing within 30 minutes of delivery, and as an added bonus, spares and upgraded parts can easily be downloaded and printed from the support site.
I would recommend this as an entry level printer

From the moment I stepped into the store Mark was more than helpful in pointing me towards the printer which suited my needs, and for the price the UP! Mini was hard to go past. Setup was quick and very intuitive and the prints speak for themselves - fantastic quality. For a first time printer looking for a reliable yet functional machine, the UP! Mini fits the bill.

Love it, bought it just to get started with 3D printing and found it to be a great little printer. Very easy to learn with.

Experimented for months to get the perfect print. Apply a layer of low adhesive tape to the hard bed squares, dissolve some abs in acetone & apply a thin even layer over the tape (holds down the model when printing).
Dont heat the printer bed & print with no raft. This gave almost no warping & no annoying raft bed to remove. The tape & paste needs to be repeated with each print.

Ordered and received within the same week, so pretty damn good on the delivery, The printer was super easy & straight forward to setup, the print quality is better than I expected, huge ups for me were the sound levels, as loud as a common desktop printer & the unit didn't make my confined flat hot at all, 10/10 on this product

Not sure what to expect from an entry level printer I was a bit hesitant to place an order. However once installed I must say I am very pleased with the results. The setup was easy (although the included instructions leave something to be desired, make sure to download the PDF from the site and read it through) and print quality was much higher than I expected. I can only assume that the very rough prints you tend to see online are from quick prints or printed at a lower resolution, but printing at 0.2mm resolution gives excellent results.

The only reason I did not give a 5 star rating was that after only 2 weeks I started getting "Air Prints" where the printer stops extruding material mid print. This was really quite worrying after such a short time but again the PDF manual gives very clear instructions on how to fix the issue and I am back up and running again, hopefully for longer this time.

Assuming it continues to perform like it is I would happily recommend this printer for anyone looking to get into 3D at a low price.

Really cool little piece of excellence.

I recently purchased the UP! Mini 3D printer, and could not be happier with the product, service and speed of delivery. The printer is very easy to use, and provides an excellent printed model.

Having been using this for the past week, I've had a crash course in issues. The unit itself is great, the models it prints are well done. It's essentially plug and play.

The problems I've had have been explained fairly well within the manual, however the program used to control it could use some work. I feel like it would benefit a lot from pre-heating the plate being included in the build phase, especially if it has certain dimensions as I didn't know about it right away and routinely forgot. That's on me, so I haven't reduced the score I gave, it's just an added suggestion.

All in all, I've enjoyed it, and will continue to do so, it's a really good first printer, in my opinion.

I was very happy with my purchase. Bought an Up Mini for a bargain price and got it less than a week later. I've been printing ever since and the printer hasn't shown any signs of discomfort yet.

paid for express shipping so that it would be 2 days to get it as I needed a part urgently instead I had to cancel an event due to the part taking over a week! We are looking at buying a number of machines but Not planning on buying here again!

First time purchaser of a 3d printer and its great! Easy to setup and use and delivery was quite quick will definitely order in future maybe a upgrade... Great for beginners though

This is my first dabble at 3d design and manufacture, but the printer is a little beauty in my opinion. Does the job well, prints better than I expected for the price, and the staff and service with the order were first rate. Already based on this I am eyeing off the new Up Box and putting some pennies aside!

I had high expectations, but after 3 days my little printer died. The after sales service has been very good and I've been assured that all will be fixed and return ASAP.

This is just too easy, and amazing value! It's going to pay for itself within 3 months! Had it running within 20 minutes... first print moved half way through and failed... my fault though, had a [heavily] vibrating fan sitting on the bench... finished a Yoda model next [within a couple hours]. Just standard quality printing (as opposed to the "high" version) and it looks great... faster than I had expected too (I was expecting VERY slow, it's just plain slow :) As are all. Software is SUPER easy to use also. I'll be buying another real soon... thanks for the fast shipment!

Unit: Up! Mini
Time on tools: about an hour so far, moreso spent researching
print materials used: I have only used ABS

My first impression of the Up mini was very positive. The printer was delivered by AusPost and was double boxed. The unit is very well packaged and appeared to have survived the trip from China unscathed.

The unit itself is quite small and its appearance is excellent. The enclosed, sleek and futuristic design is not only functional but very pleasing to look at. The enclosure keeps in the heat (very important with ABS) but also deadens the sound a little. I have it setup on a little desk with my laptop right next door and I can continue working or browsing unfazed by the sound of the print head.

Setup was very easy, it was unboxed, plugged in and calibrating itself within 30 minutes. I had to swap the included USB cable for one of my own as the computer was unable to connect to the Printer initially. After the swap it recognised the printer immediately and we were good to go. It came with a 'quick start' manual but the online full-length manual is much more detailed and is recommended reading first.

I fed and extruded some of the included 700g white ABS filament and downloaded a small test file (octopus) to test the Printer out. I had it set to medium in-fill and normal print speed at .25mm layer height. The 3cm x 3cm x 3cm print finished in about 30 mins. One of the great things about the included software is that it can calculate how much filament you will need to complete your print, which is very handy if your roll is about to run out or you need to know how much to replenish.

I am thilled with how little mucking about is required to achieve quality prints on the Up! Mini. I was initially worried about the print head speed being a little too slow, but after watching it go I am convinced its plenty fast enough. The extruder and hot end are one unit which magnetically snaps onto the X axis rail. This is exceptionally good use of tech and makes maintenance really easy.

I cant recommend this unit enough to anyone thinking of having a go with 3D printing. The included slicing software is great and you can use free designing software like AutoCAD 123D or TinkerCAD to get started designing your own models.

I recommend buying a few extra spools of ABS! You'll be hooked!

I gave this unit 4 stars out of 5 as the review also encompasses the sales and support provided. The Mini was on backorder when i purchased it and I wasnt made aware of this until I asked about it. I would have appreciated a more proactive approach in this regard from the team at 3Dprintersuperstore.com. In the end I was kept in the loop about what was going on so I'm reasonably happy. I would recommend that you enquire via email about stock levels before hitting buy.

Overall the Up! Mini is an excellent intro printer at a very solid price, and consumables are reasonably priced with a good selection of colours.

Happy Printing and my thanks to 3DPrinterSuperstore.com

This is the second UP! Mini I have ordered and I couldn't be happier with both of them. Easy to setup and use and excellent results.

Ever since I discovered 3d printing through a friend a couple of years ago...it has been a "must have" endeavour to bring to fruition, plans I had since I was a kid. time, space and money all work against you; so the "sale" was the much needed doorway. the UP! MINI is a FANTASTIC machine. the advantages of what I was planning on getting an up plus 2 for, and paves the way for everything else. my review is not like others; they have more information. apart from a few minor technical glitches....my very first raft went down like a pro. some delamination has occurred, but as this is a benchmark print; it is of no consequence. happy printing!
(p.s. my order arrived WELL ahead of expectation, that's just a bonus review)

I have had much experience with similar personal printers and professional printers, and for the price this does an amazing job, with quality functional parts.
Point and shoot style printing, no stuffing around with print parameters, it has all been preoptimized for you.
The only issue i have is that it does not have bed temp feedback.

all in all a great little package.
