Lab 3Dnatives: UP Box 3D Printer Test

Since being recently unveiled, the UP Box is one of the most anticipated desktop FDM 3D printers at the moment. While TierTime‘s previous 3D printers were widely acclaimed by the community, will their new models live up to the hype? The UP Box is stated to be 30% faster and 50% more accurate than the UP Plus 2, so we investigated.

The Up! Box has a sleek, modern style.

1. Unpacking

On first inspection, the Up Box’s box depicts a rather large machine. The 3D printer comes well-protected in the packaging and is accompanied by the necessary equipment for long printing sessions. The Up Box comes with 3 printing trays with a build volume of 20.5 x 25.5 cm, a power cable with transformer, a USB cable, a 500g ABS coil, a spatula, a pair of cutting pliers, a pair of gloves, various screwdriver keys, screws, and a spare nozzle. The 3D printer also comes with an instruction manual for whichever language you speak.

The different accessories and instruction manual that comes with the UP Box.

With dimensions of 48.6 x 49.5 x 52 cm, the orange and black colorway, and rounded shapes, Tiertime have modernised their machines. The front view of the Up Box shows their logo which changes color during printing. The upper part is equipped with a hatch which facilitates the loading of filament, while the coil fits on the right side of the machine.
