I have bought a UP! Mini 3D Printer a week ago and I am very disappointed with it. The platform came completely unsquared. I am tired to contact the department sale. pp3dp people will joke with you and will not give you a real solution to the platform problem. They will tell you that there is a calibration soft, but the real issue is the hardware. There is no way to calibrate it. The printer is made so cheaply that due to the plastic tiny clips that sustains the linear carriage it will fall part very soon. Mine has already one clip broken. I hope no one more will buy this horrible, chip printer.
