Why you should buy a Monoprice Maker Select Plus 3D printer
The Monoprice Maker Select Plus 3D printer was hailed by our reviewers upon release as the best 3D printer in its price range and an excellent entry-level choice. The software is intuitive to use and our reviewer was able to assemble the Monoprice Maker Select Plus and start printing a preloaded swan figure without spending any significant time. And if 3D printing scares you, which beginners often do, the intuitive touchscreen controls and beginner-friendly FDM printing style will come as a relief. The wide range of compatible print materials – including the base materials ABS and PLA, but also some rarer filaments – will also put your mind at ease. Feeding the beast will be easier and cheaper than you would ever expect.
Moving on to the more technical aspects, one of the biggest hurdles when purchasing a 3D printer is finding space to print. The Monoprice Maker Select Plus completely circumvents this problem and offers a relatively large build area (for its price) of 7.9″ x 7.9″ x 7.1″. The maximum resolution is in the tenths of a millimeter range and the positioning accuracy is around hundredths of a millimeter, which offers a fairly high resolution for the price. Depending on the setting, the Monoprice Maker Select Plus creates 70 mm of print material per second.
