SOLD (UK) UP! Box 3D printer
« on: September 26, 2017, 04:27:55 pm »
Right... this is a 3D printer so I've no time or patience for it. Other people might appreciate their 'qualities' and potential uses but I don't!

Customer return - "EXTRUDER NOT WORKING".

Well if they'd bothered to return the extruder it might have been an easy job to figure out what was wrong. But they didn't, so £200+ spent on a new one before I could start testing it. Oh and they also neglected to return the 24v 10A power supply, this thing doesn't have a nice simple IEC mains in connection.

It's HUGE. I guess that means it's got a huge build volume as well. It's very quiet, and it's got an air filter so it doen't stink the place out. I put the new extruder in and pressed a button to feed the filament and it actually seemed to behave. I pushed another button to reprint the last job (a scary thing to do lol) and off it went and built a typical piece of 3d printer type nonsense. Built it quite well actually, I went for a walk and didn't have to use extreme language or gestures at it once.

It's a discontinued model - the 'Plus' version now has WiFi and a better extruder (the extruder I bought was a new improved one). The 'Plus' is also £600 more expensive than this was.

So.. it works, new extruder, half a spool of something white, dodgy industrial DIN rail mount 24v 10A power supply for you to put in a case and make safe.

It does seem to get decent reviews, and to be fair it didn't fight with me and it printed something first go.

£600 £500 shipped to UK and sensible EU countries?

I met with Ian today to take delivery of the UP! Box 3D printer.

What a lovely chap he is and I am thrilled with my purchase. The printer is large, but then so is its build volume  :) I have had very good experiences with my UP! Mini printer and hopefully the UP! Box will be its big brother with equal reliability.

Ian was very kind to me with this sale and I understand he actually made no profit on the deal ! A top class personable chap who exudes good Karma.

Thank you Ian  :-+
