Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

Good printer, terrible software. Printing a blob of stuff is ok. Try printing a car model or a butterfly. Even if you could sit it on your desk it is “loud and noisy”.

There is very little airflow from the cooling fan to the nozzle. Instead there is a nice picture of how you are to feed the filament into the feeder. It works but it is on the cheesy side.

Remove the printer from the box and pull out the foam and clips that hold everything in place for shipping.

I downloaded the files to my laptop, opened them up in the wiibuilder software downloaded from the monoprice site, followed the...  Read More


Everything else is ready to go out of the box.

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its also really sluggish like its calling the 80s to check every time you try to change selections


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I think only with monoprices app which was actually a little hard to find in the play store


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It also took about 3 tries to get it to connect


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The included instructions dont tell you how to connect via wifi you need to download the manual from monoprices website


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im not sure if thats normal for 3d printing or not
