Cleaning the platform
If you are using the special green paint on your platform, the platform requires
cleaning after a few prints to get it back to a smooth surface. Simply remove
the platform from the machine and soak it in water for a few hours and the
paint will peel of easily.
Once clean, repaint it with green paint, or cover it with blue masking tape.
Lubrication of bearings
The bearings on the Up Printer may occasionally require a bit of lubrication to
keep it operating smoothly. The recommended grease to use is lithium grease.
When lubricating the bearings, first clean off as much old grease as possible
from the bearings, and then apply new grease to the bearing and slide the
platform in the appropriate direction to spread the grease.
Spare parts
Almost all the plastic parts on the printer are printed by the Up printer itself. If
you need to print spare parts for your printer, the files for all spare parts can be
found in the C:\Program Files (x86)\UP\Example\UP Spare Part folder.
