For us the main feature of the Up Plus 2 is its reliability. We rearly hear from owners through tech support.

Other stand out features include:
Auto Leveling: The machine self calibrates and adjusts for out-of-levelness of the bed. This is both an up and a down. Your print will adhere well, but also what you think will be flat and a single layer may end up tilted on the platform and so print layers will appear diagonally across print surface.

ABS-PC blend capabilities: The UPs are designed to run a ABS-Polycarbonate blended filament that extrudes at a higher temperature than standard ABS. The up side is a more heat resistent model with often a smoother more professional finish. Also this means the UPs deal very well with other high temperature extrusion materials like nylon very well.

The Build plate: Is a lift off perferated board that does hold prints well, but needs to be bull clipped on, which we are not fans off. Also sometimes holds too well, making models difficult to remove. We print both ABS and PLA straight onto the heated table with a buildtak sheet applied.

Open design: Bilby 3D has been very public about our dislike of open designed 3D Printers, especially when printing ABS, which has up to a 5% shrinkage rate and as such cold air against the model during printing causes warping and often lifting off the bed. Build Tak type materials on the bed help, but we recommend enclosing your UP in a box or similar if printing ABS especially in winter.

Wrap Up A really reliable machine mechanically. There are advantages to PC blended filaments however they do cost more. All in all a great machine, but could do with an enclosure.

Build platform size : 140 x 140 and 135mm high

Filament Size: 1.75mm ABS or PLA

Extrusion temperature: ABS extruded at 260degC. PLA extruded at 200degC
Note : Ups are designed to run a Polycarbonate (PC) blended ABS and PLA. Thus they run much hotter than other 3D Prinyers. They can print with non PC-blends, but for best results we recomment the PC blend.
