UP Mini Heater Bed v2
Installation Instructions
ENSURE PRINTER IS POWERED OFF AT THE REAR SWITCH BEFORE INSTALLING
Care should be taken to not scratch the top heater element of either the original heated
bed or UP Mini Bed+ against sharp metal surfaces within the printer
When working with the bed upside down inside the printer, place a cloth on top of the
build platform underneath the bed to reduce the risk of accidental damage.
1. Remove the screws securing the
original heated bed to the build
platform
2. Gently slide the entire build
platform (not just the bed)
towards the rear of the printer
3. Carefully slide the original heated
bed towards the front of the
printer and out of the build
platform. Take caution not to
scratch the top of the bed against
the metal tabs of the platform.

4. With the bed flipped over, slide the
brown tab of the bed FPC
connector towards the rear of the
bed to release it, allowing the flex
cable to easily slide out.
5. On the UP Mini Bed+, open the
FPC connector in the same
manner as previously. Then with a
cloth on top of the build platform,
place the UP Mini Bed+ upside
down on the build platform with its
FPC connector closest to the rear
of the printer.
6. Ensuring that the silver contacts
are facing down onto the bed and
the blue plastic shown on the rear
of cable is visible and facing away
from the bed, insert the FPC cable
into the connector;
7. Push the brown tab of the
connector towards the front of
the printer to lock the cable in
place, then flip the UP Mini Bed+
over such that the FPC cable is no
longer twisted.

8. Carefully slide the UP Mini Bed+
back into the printer across the
top of the spring loaded plastic
pins (circled), again taking care not
to scratch the top of the bed
against the metal rails that
secure the bed.
9. Once the bed holes are aligned
with the plastic block of the build
platform, reinstall the screws.
10. Pressing down gently on the bed
to provide clearance, remove the
Mylar tape on each side of the bed
that was protecting the edges of
the heater element during
installation.
