Tiertime to Unveil UP Mini 2 3D Printer at CES 2016

Posted: 01 Jan 2016 01:52 PM PST

Beijing-based Tiertime may not be most famous 3D printer manufacturer out there, but in China it is the leading innovator in this industry. At CES 2016, the company will launch its latest desktop 3D printer, the UP Mini 2.

Tiertime has made a goal out of creating affordable 3D printers, so that those devices are no longer destined exclusively to wealthy gadget enthusiasts. Its desktop products are neatly organized in three categories, depending on their application, but it should be mentioned that Tiertime also manufactures industrial 3D printers known as Inspire A, Inspire D and Inspire S series. The desktop ones are Home 3D printers, along with models meant for Education, and lastly, for Work. All of them are actually called UP, with various denominations added to that for an intuitive differentiation. The UP mini, for example, whose second generation will be unveiled at CES 2016 next week, makes an excellent first 3D printer for home users.

“As a world leading 3D printer manufacturer, Tiertime’s greatest motivation is to meet the increasing demand for consumer 3D printers on the global market. We believe that UP mini 2 will become the best entry level 3D printing gadget for students at schools, kids at home and 3D printing fans everywhere,” says Tiertime’s CEO, Mr. Allen Guo.

Tiertime has picked quite a target audience for the UP mini 2. Students, kids, and people who are taking their first steps into 3D printing are the ideal consumers for a device that focuses on usability, portability and connectivity. In fact, these three are the exact areas to see new improvements over the previous generations. All the upgrades and changes are meanto turn 3D printing into an even more consumer-friendly experience.

Just to give you an idea about how easy to use this company’s 3D printers really are, in 2013 MAKE magazine gave Tiertime’s UP Plus 3D printer the Best in Class: Just Hit Print for such innovatory features as auto-leveling and auto height detection. At that time, the UP Plus was going against 23 other desktop 3D printers, so that says a lot about Tiertime’s desire to revolutionize the industry.

The following video showcases the 1st-gen UP mini, but in terms of design, there shouldn’t be that many differences between it and the new one.

As for the price, the UP mini 2 shouldn’t cost more than the first generation, which is currently sold by various retailer at around $600. Sure, there are cheaper 3D printers out there, but I highly doubt that those are capable of producing even close to similar results. It remains to be seen what precise features and improvements UP mini 2 will bring, and whether it will provide as much bang for your back as its predecessor.

If you happen to be in Las Vegas between January 6 and 9, you can go to CES 2016 and pay Tiertime a visit at booth #72910 in the 3D Printing Marketplace, Sands Expo Hall.

Tidy Up Your Inbox with a Free 3-Month Sanebox Plan

Free Sanebox 3-Month Plan - Walyou Deals 01

Not many people make a New Year’s resolution out of keeping their inbox clean, but this one should really be on everyone’s list. The 3-month plan to Sanebox, which is offered for free on Walyou Deals, will make your inbox unrecognizable.

Sanebox, a cloud-based e-mail management SaaS (service as a software) developed by the Boston-based eponymous company, is meant to analyze past e-mail usage to determine which messages are important, and which ones should be stored away, never to be seen again. Walyou Deals offers you a free 3-month subscription to the Lunch plan of Sanebox (typically $12/mo in value), which includes two e-mail accounts that can be managed using this service, SaneNoReplies, SaneConnect, SaneAttachments and SaneReminders, as well as 5 optional features.

When creating the Sanebox account, you will have to mention the e-mail account you’d like to use it for, and to provide the password for it. That may sound like a horrific thing to do in our time and age, when digital account passwords are among the best kept secrets. However, you needn’t worry, as Sanebox is a reliable service that is entrusted with passwords even by Fortune 500 companies. Besides, this service has been reviewed by many reputable online publications that wouldn’t have endorsed it if it weren’t trustworthy.

During the next step, you need to write your first and last name, and select your time zone from a drop-down list. Also at this point, you need to pick a password for the Sanebox account. As usual, make sure to use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Basically, the longer and the more complex the password is, the more safety it will guarantee.

Once you do this, Sanebox will register your account and will proceed to analyzing your e-mails. The importance of the senders is determined based on your past interactions with them. When the analysis ends, you’ll notice that a new folder named SaneLetter has been created in your e-mail account. That’s where unimportant e-mail messages, both present and future, go. Of course, you can also train Sanebox by dragging unimportant e-mails yourself.

The second folder, called SaneNoReplies, includes e-mail messages you’ve yet to respond to. That will surely improve your workflow, if you happen to receive a lot of messages you need to reply to.

The following video should give you a better idea of what Sanebox is and how it works:

Typically available for $108, the 3-month plan to Sanebox is offered at no charge on Walyou Deals.

Since inbox neatness is often associated with great mental health, anyone who’s scared to confront their inbox each morning should give Sanebox a try. There’s really nothing to lose, as you don’t have to pay anything for this 3-month plan. All you need to do is create an account at our store and share on Google+, Twitter or Facebook the page of this freebie.
