Pros & Cons
Pros
I'm sure cura will more than suffice. It includes a micro sd card with a couple of models preloaded onto it. Wiibuilder seems to do everything i need it to.
The auto-leveling just works. The stepper motors and sensors are all basic but they work well and the casual user probably won't need to adjust anything as long as the unit isn't dropped or mishandled. High quality prints, easy setup, and above fully ... Read More
Cons
It only reliably connects by the sd. Please reboot. There isn't. Supports are impossible. The wifi only lets you connect with a primitive app.

Competitiveness
My husband is coach for several robotics teams, and while we have a large 3-d printer, having a smaller one on hand that's por... Read More
Final analysis: the monoprice 3d cadet is a winner!
The printer is supposed to work with cura (and it's available in the downloads section on the monoprice website), but i could n... Read More
However this is my 2nd 3d printer and i'm still a n00b but this one is excellent!

Its really quite small and almost all of the setup is taken care of for you

The build size is pretty small which makes this printer more of a gateway drug than anything else

It comes with enough filament to print one of the test items from the included sd card but not really much more
