I have never 3D printed... Until now!! this is a voyage of discovery with the Monoprice Select Mini V2... not knowing anything about 3D printing, i decided to jump in and give it a try. After a year or so looking at 3d printers i decided to try it out with an economy grade 3d printer, and later on, if i like 3d printing, get a larger better 3d printer.
This Is not a review of this 3d printer and i have not been compensated for this video , i'm just excited about the prospect of something new!
I learned an amazing amount of new things with this little printer, and that is what this video is all about: LEARNING SOMETHING NEW, and i am excited about the possibilities!! The best, lesson if no other, is to remember that you learn more from failure than from success!
the voyage into 3d printing requires 3 things:
1. the 3d printer, and filament (really only a small portion of the equation)
2. a 3d model of the object to print (make your own or download from thingiverse)
3. Slicing software (a CAM software for 3d printing) i used Cura 3.0 which is free!
All i can say is that i am impressed with this little "economy" printer! For $200 i am impressed with the quality of the printing. however, the printer is noisy and the cantilevered arm is "flimsy" but still it did an amazing job
if you get this printer or any other, be sure to purchase a FULL roll of filament, since the sample the printer comes with is not enough to warm up the machine, i bought a roll of Hatchbox PLA Black and a roll of PLA white to get started.
The large format 3d printers I mention:
Creality 5080
OEM H-10
Modix big 60
Big Rep One
Wasp Delta 3MT
Cronus
The Black Belt
BLB "The Box"
