Title is pretty descriptive. Stumble upon this "deal" while searching around for some 3d printing materials. Bought one few months back with the free Up! Mini promo for $2150 include gst so this would pretty much be the same deal except without the need of flogging the free Mini off ebay/gumtree. So far, have been pretty happy with it, pretty noob friendly 3d printer.

*Edit: Got hold of these guys from Sydney and they will match with $1399 include gst posted. Could any of the mods change the link above? Thanks.

    UP! Plus 2 3D Printer $1,362.73

    Price is misleading

    Put GST INCLUSIVE price in title… Price is $1499

      Print plastic parts that epoxy won't fix. save heaps on buying spares

      • roughana on 04/09/2014 - 12:19

        I don't understand how the strength of something layered can be stronger than something that has been epoxied. What am I missing?

    • knackers on 04/09/2014 - 10:49

      it's handy if you're a design engineer.. otherwise you're limited by what models you can find on the internet

      i'd love one in my home.. Brilliant for showcasing the kinematics of an invention

      fabricating stuff out of metal can get quite expensive

      • Hardstuck Silver 2 on 04/09/2014 - 11:12

        Can confirm.

        Don't own one, but have used them to print Quadcopter parts, Go Pro mounts and phone cases. Basically stuff you can buy from ebay <$10. One cool thing was printing custom screws with uncommon diameters and screwing in methods (think allen key-esque) for parts of the quadcopter.

      • endotherm on 05/09/2014 - 11:54

        Designing your own models can be pretty simple and rewarding. Check out https://tinkercad.com/ for an easy browser-based editor. I use it all the time for simple and not-so-simple projects. No need to learn complex Autodesk or similar programs. Tutorial video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwjWT-EvKSU to give you an idea.

      Lots of things for my DIY projects, like brackets, enclosures for electronics.

      We have a couple of makerbots here at work and they are invaluable for plastic prototyping

      They aren't massively useful to the average person.

      I have the mini.. printing all sorts of stuff.. for example from kids name tags for their bags.. boxes custom made for a specific part.. Present tags (instead of buying a card.. they will keep this more then a card)..
      My last print on the weekend was for a custom made tray to hold 5 pistol magazines.. looks very nice, and stops them bumping against each other. Also printed a thing to help me load up the ammunition. For stuff like this, you could not even buy them if you wanted to.. only way to have them is to make them yourself.. opens so much possibilities.

      My only wish was if they could have 2 heads.. (for 2 colors), and be much bigger.. Also my particuler one, which was one of the first batches, has the tray which has one corner not fully straight.. so have put a wedge to keep it straight..

      highly recommend it :)

    • Hardstuck Silver 2 on 04/09/2014 - 11:06

      This one has less papercuts involved.
      I would spend the extra $1494 for this alone.

    • mr kindface on 04/09/2014 - 11:08

      I guess you could…print your model on 5 reams worth of paper, cut them out and stick them together…

    step 3: profit! :P

    If they weren't so expensive, I'd be keen. Not saying this is a bad price, just still out of my league.

    0.15mm resolution, it says. How does its output quality compare to that of other sub-$2500 3D printers? The models that they show on the page don't look overly precise/sharp to me.

    I'm looking at printing some architectural models, among other things. (Not content to be a geeky female, I had to also add being a model train fan, to the list of ways I diverge from the norm. Bought a Leica disto and measured out a few buildings with the idea of adding them to my layout. The size of object this can print looks like it'd work for my purposes.)

    Sincerely thinking about this. I mean, I NEED a phone. (I am still using an original Defy that went through the washing machine powered on back in 2010, LOL.) But I want a toy that will let me make unique stuff.

    Can the objects be sanded and painted after printing, or are they best used as-is? I've heard of some people painting the things they've printed, but don't know if that's possible with all types of plastic used by 3D printers.

    • NigelTufnel on 04/09/2014 - 11:58

      Yeah, you can sand and paint them if you want. Quite often you can paint them with Acetone to get them a bit smoother and stronger.

    • pubo on 04/09/2014 - 12:20

      unfortunately the raw print textures are pretty rough. But on my application, I'm just printing plastic parts I've broke off on disassemble so it doesn't bother me much. If you're after a nice surface finishing, make a smoothing station like http://solidoodletips.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/diy-smoothing…. Nice glossy finishing.

        you mean 0.1mm res. A mate has the da vinvi and has printed some parts for me and they turn out pretty good.

    For those interesting in 3d printing but don't want to shell out the up-front cost (or those that want to turn their 3d printer into a business) there's a website www.makexyz.com that can put you in contact with someone in your area with one to get stuff printed.
    Great service, used it quite a few times.

      In add, City of Sydney libraries are goin to install 3d printers at some branches, starting with Surry Hills by end of September; they are running info workshops too, i was Saturday at Custom House and i think next one is in Newtown , check eventbrite to find out exact dates.

        BYO filaments?

        • swings on 04/09/2014 - 13:37

          looks like they are goin to charge a fee based on printed volume, probably will work like their computer&printer fee system.
          Looks they are still figuring out, there are so many problematic involved, printing time is big factor, not willing to sit beside the printer for 3 or more hours.

        The smaller model 1405 is listed here for $349 USD or $442.39 USD including their lowest cost but still very expensive $93.39 USD shipping to NSW 2035.

  • heineken016 on 04/09/2014 - 18:53

    If you are really into ozbargain you should DIY! Pretty good project, I've built a richrap 3DR (google it) with no prior experience.

    I went cheap as possible and ebay'd most of the bits from china, got a guy from the reprap forum to print the bits for me for ~100. Wouldn't have spent $400 all up and have probably $50 of stuff to go towards a 2nd.

  • roller on 05/09/2014 - 11:47

    First, you can't compare these with all the cheaper reprap printers - this printer's software has the secret sauce commercial printers have which is removable support. This allows the support material to simply peel off under the force of your fingers - with the cheaper open source printers you need to either work out a way to print without support (shape has to be simple) or spend a week with a Dremel removing excess plastic.

    Second, this is not a bargain as I think it is normal price now.
