I have a problem with my UP PLUS 3D printer and I really need your help. First printer started to stop in the middle of the printing, then got to the point where I wasn’t even able to connect it to my laptop (it didn’t recognize it) and now, when I press Print, before even slicing completes, the software crashes and I have to reopen (basically I can’t print anything as every time I try, same thing happens). The weird part is that sometimes I can adjust the bed, heat up extruder, extract or retract filament from software but the moment I press print, it dies. PLEASE HELP!!!
