Tiertime UP Plus 2 3D Printer with Auto-Levelling & Rapid Prototyping
Excludes GST
Turn Digital Designs into Accurate Functional Prototypes
The UP Plus 2 achieves consistent print accuracy through a mechanically stabilised steel-frame structure combined with guided motion on linear bearings across all axes. This reduces unwanted vibration and positional drift during long print cycles, which is one of the main causes of dimensional inaccuracy in desktop 3D printing.
Automatic platform levelling and height detection ensure the first layer is correctly positioned without relying on manual calibration. This is critical because first-layer errors typically propagate through the entire print, affecting final part quality and adhesion reliability.
Print consistency is further supported by controlled extrusion temperature ranges (200°C to 260°C), allowing stable material flow for both PLA and ABS. When material flow remains consistent, layer bonding becomes more uniform, improving structural integrity in finished parts.
The Smart Visual Print Driver software contributes by automatically generating supports based on model geometry. This reduces user interpretation errors in support placement, which can otherwise lead to deformation or failed overhangs.
Together, these systems reduce dependency on operator skill and minimise the variables that typically introduce error in desktop FDM printing, resulting in more repeatable and predictable output across production runs.
Workflow Advantages
- Reduced Setup Effort — Lets you move from file to print without getting slowed down by calibration or manual adjustments.
- Consistent Output Confidence — Gives assurance that repeat prints will behave predictably for client work or internal testing.
- Faster Workflow Turnaround — Enables quicker iteration between design changes and physical validation.
- Stable Long-Run Operation — Supports longer print jobs with less oversight, useful for production or batch work.
- Lower Risk of Failed Prints — Reduces uncertainty around first-layer and supports issues that can waste time and material.
- Simplified Post-Processing — Makes part removal and finishing more straightforward, reducing manual cleanup effort.
- More Focus on Design Work — Frees time that would otherwise be spent troubleshooting machine behaviour.
- Greater Control Over Part Quality — Allows you to adjust settings to match whether you need speed, strength, or surface detail.
- Reliable Prototype Validation — Helps you physically test designs with fewer variables affecting the outcome.
