Gavin and Alice –
Really impressed so far
Very happy so far. Ordered from Monoprice through Amazon here and the printer arrived the next day.It’s not perfect, but you can’t beat it for the price!There’s a Reddit mpminidelta group, and a Wiki at mpminidelta.com which have good resources. There’s an active FB group apparently but I have not looked at that.Printed a couple cats perfectly. I put blue painter’s tape on the bed to keep the bed clean and make removing the print easier. Have not needed glue-stick or anything else for PLA. I did have one cat fail when I forgot to heat the bed and it came loose from the bed about halfway through the print, so a little glue would probably have prevented that but keeping the bed warm seems to generally do it too.I have now set up Cura and successfully printed a “Low poly fox” model from Thingiverse. It takes some fiddling around to get Cura configured properly. I used the Start and End Gcode from the Cat sample file. Cura by default wanted to print at 150mm/s which is ridiculously fast and just didn’t stick to the bed. Changing the speed to something around 40mm/s in Cura made it about the same as the Cat print and I was successful getting the fox to print on the first try after that. I used Cura 3.2.1 along with the device profile available on the mpminidelta wiki.I have been sticking with relatively small objects so far. Problems with using the full bed seem common with this printer due to flatness issues, so I have not wanted to push it yet. Even at full size this printer is relatively limited with the circular bed so rectangular models especially will be size limited. But it’s great for small figures and items that fit naturally into a cylindrical volume.I have only tried printing with PLA so far. People report difficulty getting the heated bed to go above 60C or so making ABS printing problematic. The printer claims in its specs it can go to 100C on the bed, but that doesn’t currently seem to be the case. People are experimenting with custom firmware as a possible solution for this.My printer shipped from Monoprice on 6/25/18 was version v44.160.3I have been impressed at how quiet this printer has been so far after hearing how noisy it is supposed to be. So far it has not been loud at all.It comes with an odd 161MB micro SD card which Windows claimed was “damaged” (though it read and worked fine in the printer). I let windows “repair” the card and it’s happy now. I have been printing by saving Cura files to a laptop then copying them to the micro SD card using an SD adapter I already had (the printer does not come with a standard SD adapter for the microSD card), then loading the microSD card into the printer. I plan to try setting up Octoprint on a Raspberry Pi to remotely control and monitor the printer.Getting started is really easy. You pull the printer out of the box, remove the packing tape and plastic, plug it in, put in the miniSD card, Home the print carriage from the menu to remove the big packing foam piece, then pre-heat, load your filament, and print as described in the manual (which isn’t included in printed form so you have to get it off the SD card or just off the wiki or the Monoprice site).The only issue I had initially was getting the filament through the printer. It seemed to stop before it actually got all the way in and just needed a bit more pushing to get past a restriction. You need to cut an angle/point at the end of the filament to help get it in. Using the Move->Extruder menu option to push the filament through (use the down button to load rather than up as indicated incorrectly in the manual). I pushed the filament a bit while clicking the down button until melted filament started coming out the extruder nozzle.There are some places where the printer does not currently live up to its specs (bed heat limits, etc.) and it can be fiddly and requires some internet research to figure out, but so far for me it’s making some great prints and I’m super happy with the performance for the price.It’s small, poorly documented, and has some issues, but still at the price how can I not give it five stars?G.P.S. added an image of a few things printed using Amazon Basics PLA in Gold and Perl White. The cats are the sample gcode file that comes with the printer, and the white fox is “Low Poly Fox” on Thingiverse and the articulated dinosaur is “Flexi-Rex Improved” also on Thingiverse (scaled down to 75% to fit comfortably on the bed). The dinosaur worked great and all the links between body segments are loose and he flops around like a length of chain.

Basic. No Fuss. Good for Simple Tasks.
I have been using this printer for months to print out useful things and some fun things.So long as you are happy with the relatively small print bed, and sticking with basic PLA filament, this is a great “low drama” 3d printer. I put the printer in the closet often and pull it out, put it on my work bench and start printing with literally no fidgeting, leveling, or other configuration.For “stock” PLA that I have used, the printer works perfectly well. For more advanced filaments, it has not been worth the hassle. I think this is mostly because the printer can’t power both the extruder and the print bed sufficiently. I have tried different customizations such as a glass print bed and a more powerful power supply, but it just hasn’t been worth the hassle. So long as I stick to filament that works in the 190 degree range, the printer is super easy to use. Anything else is fiddly and leads to failed prints.The textured print bed works fine, but needs to be replaced from time to time. It is not too expensive to replace, and it is easy to replace, it’s just a big sticker. PLA and print bed replacements are basically the only expenses. The auto-leveling “just works”, and if the print bed that comes with it “just works” as well.3d printing is still a task that requires a technical mindset. The difficulties new users encounter will be with setting up the software pipeline, which is true for any printer. At a minimum, users need to set up a slicer. I did not try the software that comes with the printer, so can’t speak to that. However, I suspect that it is relatively easier to get the software working for this printer thanks to the user community.

Tl;dr great for experienced people, not so much for first timers like me
Factory support is virtually non-existent and the manual is not really helpful. This is billed as an out of the box printer and to an extent it it. But in order to get reliably successful prints you will need modify the g-code for bed leveling. Additionally, make sure you have a micro SD reader before you by this. I didn’t have one so I had top download cura separately. For most printers I would imagine that’s not an issue, but the mini delta is not a compatible option by default. To get everything to work I had top download a 3rd party patch (easy enough to fix with the directions, just drag and drop).As far as the printer itself is concerned, there are several issues, firstly its actually pretty loud. Just saying that doesn’t really do it justice. I can hear this thing printing on the second floor while in on the first. If I am printing while on the computer, I have to have the volume turned way up to hear any videos.The auto leveling feature is not functional in any meaningful capacity, hence the need to modify the g-codeAnd for some reason there is no power switch.The preheating is also really really slow and the print bed doesn’t seem capable of even reaching 60 degrees Celsius. Temperatures seem to fluctuate by as much as 5 C. This may have to do with the 5 amp power supply, but I have also read that it could also be something in the firmware (more investigation is needed on my part)Print bed adhesion seems spotty at best, but that could also be something I am doing wrong, so take that with a grain of saltAll that said, this is my first printer, and I am still dialing in the print settings on Acura, but after only 3 days of printing, the results are promising. This is helped in no small part by the absolutely massive community of makers out there and there is even a really dedicated community of makers around this once printer specifically to iron out its kinks and quirks.All in all, if I could go back to before I ordered this I would definitely order a different printer. There are a lot of quirks that need ironing and I was absolutely not ready for that.With that said however, I am incredibly happy with this printer. It is a lot of fun to watch it go and because of the quirks I have had to learn a lot about 3d printing in general, and fairly quickly too.Basically, if you know what you are doing, this is a great printer with a little work. If you are new to 3d printing, maybe get something else to get your feet wet. I had nearly given up and returned it before I figured out the worst of the kinks, but I am having fun now though, so I quite happy with it.
Honest reviews –
The touch screen is simple but maybe too simple. I was really hoping to change the steps per mm one of the axis as the calibration cube was slightly out of dimension. It does print and is very quiet comparing to other printers. If we need to change the z axis g code offset flat off the bat, i question why this isnt done in the first place when uploading the firmware at the factory. Either way it prints and does a decent job doing so for miniatures and trinkets but since the steps per mm has to be changed with a a splicer and not on board firmware i have to give printer a small wrap on the wrist.

Pros: Amazing print quality, Fast prints, Large print area, Great UI, Great finish, Solid constructionCons: No wireless printing, Finding a Cura profile is tricky, Pricey, Non removable print bed.Setting up this printer was seamless, I loved the USB stick option which is located beside the screen. The power button is also very conveniently located. The auto leveling probe works great. I have no real complaints

Excelente calidad y precio. Es una buena elección para principiantes o para iniciar a un niño en el mu. Do de la impresión 3D. Se necesita un poco de tiempo para configurarla ya que es open source y la version de Cura que viene incluida es antigua.Las instrucciones incluidas son muy limitadas pero en línea existen muchos Foros y Wikis que pueden ayudar.Igualmente la impresión por WiFi es poco confiable pero imprimir por MicroSD es facil y rápido.Y hablando de la MicroSD, esta es un formato especial. El lector no es compatible con las nuevas generaciones (HC, XD, etc.) deberás de utilizar una MicroSD de primera generación las cuales son algo costosas, $1000 por 1GB. Pero la MicroSD que está incluida es de 128MB y me ha sido suficiente.Como extras les sugiero comprar un base de cristal (con pegamento de barra) o usar masking tape, esto hace más facil remover las impresiones sin necesidad de usar un Raft en el objeto.

Where to begin. The first one I got had huge failures, and several manufacturing faults including one of the belts being almost torn through. The replacement had a bit of an issue with the SD card spring. I fixed that by installing an sd card extension. So a couple of months in, I’ve dropped it from 4 stars to 2. Don’t buy this printer. It’s dimensional accuracy is terrible, and all attempts to improve it will only make it worse for most users. The FB user group tries to put it on the poster that the struggle with this unit is because the user doesn’t follow the “essential upgrades and calibrations”If you just want something to print OK to meh toys, this extremely cheap unit will get you started I guess. If you are smart, you will invest in something from the Creality line, or from Prusa if you can afford it. As for this printer…just keep walking…trust me.
