Is the bed auto-leveling?

BEST ANSWER: No it has to be done by the user. It is very simple however. The machine guides you through it completely.

The bed is NOT auto-leveling. There are 2 adjustment knobs underneath the heated bed. You can turn them clockwise to lower the bed, counter-clockwise to raise the bed. Easiest method it to set the bed at a known height and then adjust when necessary using your slicer program. You can then raise and lower the bed as needed for different filaments by using the slicers offset feature. That way you don't have to mess with the bed very often. Hope this helps. - Damon

I should have said there are 3 bed leveling knobs underneath. There is a wizard that walks you through a basic leveling process using a piece of paper. For first time users this usually gets the printer printing with little to no issues. It is very easy to use and walks you through the steps. Thanks.
You'll have to manually level the bed. The procedure is explained on the quick startup instruction sheet. Re-level before every print job the first couple of weeks until the springs have normalized. Then, level as needed.

Yes. The printer allows for 1.75mm filament. The manufacturer of the filament shouldn't matter for the printer, but there are definitely higher quality filaments that will result in better prints.
If you are considering buying this printer, I would reconsider. This was my first printer and I still can't get great prints out of it. I'd highly recommend getting the Creality Ender 3 instead. There is a small amount of assembly for it, but for the cost and print quality it is definitely more worth it than the monoprice printers.

does printer have self leveling feature?
A shopper
on Sep 4, 2018
BEST ANSWER: No but it holds level well. If you are using more than one removable build plate that would be inconvenient. The three height adjustment knobs are easy access for tweeking. I sometimes adjust then a bit for getting my first layer imbedded into the surface of the build plate. There is a bit of Z variation in the mechanism, about .006" total. It had loose set screws on the X rails and that ma have helped but did not eliminate it. I get good prints from it and I'm pleased with its performance. It's my first printer so can't compare it with anything else.

This unit is stated to have an all-metal extruder. Does this mean that there is NO PTFE liner to abrade??? Thanks,
A shopper
on Dec 9, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I do not remember the Monoprice Maker Ultimate 3D Printer claiming to have an all metal extruder. The stock hot end definitely HAS a plastic tube, which I assume is PEEK or PTFE. In my unit, that tube extended all the way through the heat block and into the nozzle. While my hot end never completely clogged, filament flow was erratic and the extruder motor would skip steps and grind. I replaced my hot end (heat break, heat sink, and nozzle) with the Micro Swiss all metal replacement. This was a simple replacement of parts requiring no other alterations to the machine (very easy to do). This modification totally fixed the problems I was having with filament flow, filament grinding, and the extruder motor skipping steps. An unexpected bonus was that filament doesn't seem to stick to the new Micro Swiss nozzle, eliminating the need of a silicone glove or cover.

This printer has a PTFE liner, not an all metal hot-end. IF you need an all metal hot-end, I highly recommend the Micro Swiss hot-end kit for this printer. It DOES have an all metal extruder--the part of the printer that forces the filament through the hot-end.

The unit does indeed have a PTFE liner from the factory. If you plan to print in ABS I would recommend the MicroSwiss hotend upgrade for this printer as it is a true all metal design w/o a PTFE liner allowing for higher print temps. Other than that this has been a really good printer after the upgrade, I highly recommend it.

Thank you John. I am waiting for my Maker Ultimate to arrive, just gathering knowledge about what upgrades may be advisable/necessary. I'm going to keep the printer "stock" and will see how it performs. From my research, I am thinking that the PETG filament combines the best of both (PLA and ABS) for durability...
When I purchased my unit in August, it had a PTFE liner. I ended up upgrading to a Micro Swiss all metal hot end to get rid of the liner. If they did upgrade that section, it's news to me.

Right before I print, the plate moves up and hits the nozzle. It will go up and down about 3 times and then go on to print. The problem is that it is burning a hold in my build plate. Any thought why it is doing this?

I just figured this out last night after thinking about it for awhile because mine was doing the same thing and really bothering me because when the bed hits the extruder nozzle the motor makes an ugly grinding sound which can't be good.
The problem is that the bed adjusted height from the factory is too high for the Z axis limit switch. This switch looks like a tiny lever on the back wall of the printer housing and is supposed to stop upward travel of the bed before it crashes into the nozzle but is not adjusted to cut off in time. There is a screw to adjust the trigger point for the switch but instead of messing with that I just tightened the three hand nuts on the underside of the bed. These are the ones you use to level the bed. I noticed that the bed springs were pretty loose because the hand nuts were close to the end of the screws. So I tightened them up as much as possible. This compresses the bed springs by bringing the bed further down onto the springs. This gives the added benefit of making the be less springy so it doesn't get out of level when you're prying a print off of it. Also, the bed is now about 3/16" / 5mm lower which is just enough to trigger the Z axis up limit switch in time to not crash into the nozzle. Problem solved!

Two things to check. Based on my experience with loose vertical limit switch screws.
1. Verify the vertical limit switch on the upper part of the back wall is firmly attached.
2. If it is firmly attached you may want to loosen the set screw on the build plate that engages that switch so that nozzle doesn't touch the build plate.
You may want to get input from monoprice support on how close the nozzle should get to the plate. It looks like under 1mm on my printer, but I'm not sure of the factory default

There's a screw at he back of the bed lift that taps against the homing switch. This screw is a bit loose and tends to wander down over usage, such that homing will hit the bed. Back it out a bit until homing doesn't crater your bed, then put a dab of PVA glue (Elmers) on the screw. Then re-level. per Kevan K's instructions.

Sounds like your bed is not level, or the z endstop is not set correctly.
When you level your bed and rotate the dial to have it "just touch" the nozzle, you want to just hear a click of the endstop, then back off 1 tick. You will have to adjust the bed screws to get this just right.

I design my fishing lures in Solidworks. Can I print from solidworks?
A shopper
on Apr 25, 2017
BEST ANSWER: To print your Solidworks model, you will have to convert your part file to a file format that can be used in the slicer software provided with the printer. Convert your model file(.sldprt) to a .STL file via the "save as" function in Solidworks. This file format can be loaded into the Cura slicer software by clicking the file tab, selecting "load model file" and then browsing for your file. Once you've set your part up in the slicer software, you can print either directly from the slicer software(if the printer is hooked up to your computer) or you can save you g-code file onto a sd card that can be inserted into the printer.

Once you've set your part up in the slicer software, you can print either directly from the slicer software(if the printer is hooked up to your computer) or you can save you g-code file onto a sd card that can be inserted into the printer.

I use Pro/E and output the files as an STL file. I then import them to my slicer engine which converts them to g-code, and put them on an SD card so as to not tie up my computer, and print them.
No matter what CAD program you use to generate your geometry, you will need a slicer to convert them to g-code. I use Simplify3D, but Cura works fine as well, and is free.

I'm not sure if you can print directly from the Solidworks program but if you can save it to a format that the sliver program accepts, then you should be alright. You just have to save it, then import it into the slicer aka Cura and that will create Gcode file that the printer can then use.

If you can create files of type STL, OBJ, DAE, AMF, BMP (and a few others), you can open that file in the supplied program Cura and create a .gcode file from your file. Cura is found on the SD card that is supplied.

What software should I use before putting the file into cura?
A shopper
on Dec 24, 2016
BEST ANSWER: You can use most 3D modeling software, whichever your most familiar with as long as you are able to export to an .stl or .obj. I use a mixture of Rhino and Autodesk Inventor depending on what I need to model. I wouldn't recommend using sketchup but if it's what you're most familiar with there are ways to make it work. If you're not currently familiar with any 3D software try to learn Rhino first.

I use Lightwave 3D to create the objects before loading them into Cura. Blender, 3DS Max and Poser are all good programs as well. It just depends on what you want to create and how fluent you are with the software. All of those programs will allow you to export what you create into a file that can be loaded into Cura. In my case I use the .obj file format.

If you are a student you can get Autodesk inventor for free. If you are not a student and you are new to 3D modeling then I highly recommend Onshape. it's a free online 3D modeling program with all of the basic tools you'll need to get started. Also remember to save or export your files as an STL, this is required so that Cura can actually read the file.

I have used TinkerCad and Adobe Fusion360. Both are free. TinkerCad allows you to create STL files. If you already have the STL file, you can load it directly into Cura. Cura just takes an STL file and tells the printer how to print. Hope that makes sense. The other software allows you to create STL files/design objects.

Then you have to export them as .stl or .obj

BEST ANSWER: Preferences>Printers>If there's a preset available, use WanhaoDuplicator6 Otherwise: custom settings. check heated bed, X width 200mm Y depth 200mm Z height 175mm GCode flavor (Marlin/Sprinter) Nozzle size 0.4mm. That should get you going. (I left the other values in there alone, it seems to work fine-I don't know what they mean anyway) You can then edit custom settings for prints. 1.75mm filament diameter (or whatever it actually is if you want to measure it-like 1.73 or 1.77 or whatever it is per your roll-though it's not critical for the most part). 'default' resolutions for the printer=0.02mm, 0.06mm, 0.1mm, and 0.2mm. So you can use those values as you see fit. Or, put in whatever other numbers between those values you might want to try. Most of the rest of the settings are subject to fine tuning, but these basics will get you printing.

BEST ANSWER: The IIIP version was not available when I ordered my printer. I use the downloaded version from the Cura site. The most important thing is setting up the printer specifications. So if you get the specs from the IIIP version you can create a profile in the Cura software and it works well. My guess is the IIIP version offers the best limited features that work with the printer.

I'm having an issue with the "insert material" and "move material". I have been having a very difficult time trying to change the material. I tried depressing the release lever to pull the filament out but can't. I tried the "Change material" and still can't pull the filament out. Any advice? Thanks.
Jason H
on Mar 19, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Changing the material using the menu should be fairly straightforward. Select the menu options Material \ Change. Wait for the print head to fully heat up. While the filament is solid you cannot move it! You must wait until the print head fully heats and melts the filament. After heating, the extruder will reverse, sending the filament back out. After that, then depress the release lever and pull out the filament.
For the new filament, depress the lever again and push in the new filament until you feel resistance as it touches the gears. Release the lever and let the machine know by clicking the menu dial so it grabs the filament and starts extruding. When the extruded filament is only the new color, you're done!
Total time is just a few minutes.

I sometimes have had to grab the filament with a pair of pliers in order to get enough leverage to pull it out. Just gently grab it and pull out. Make sure this is after the “change material” and the hot end has been heated. Using the lever to disengage it from the extruder gear and then a tug with the pliers has worked for me when it’s being stubborn.

If you go to the maintenance area you can heat the nozzle up. After it reaches 200 or so hold down the filament release lever on the head and run the cleaning rod down it. You may need to buy some nozzle tip cleaners. I have always been able to use the rod to get mine going again.

BEST ANSWER: At the very back of the build plate is a screw that meets a switch near where the build plate stops. This is a sensor that tells the build plate to stop going up. Unscrew this screw slightly so that it will contact the switch earlier. You can keep adjusting it until it stops just before running into the build plate. You will need to relevel after this.

(1) Have you added material to the build plate such as class or a thicker non-stick layer? If so you'll need to adjust the vertical limit switch on the back inside wall. (2) Perhaps your leveling screws are set too tall. This sometimes happens if you removed the build plate or have leveled enough times to have backed them off too much. Try turning them all to bring the build plate lower before starting a leveling process. Then you will use the dial to raise the build plate in the first step of leveling. But the vertical limit switch should still prevent the plate from raising too high.
I've had problems in the past with this printer and third party software leveling. The software would ignore the vertical limit switch for some reason and do what you are describing. My best results have always come from using the leveling solution on the printer's screen and dial. Hope this helps.

I have lowered the bed a lot with the screws to prevent it from pressing so hard. I am not sure where the vertical limit switch is. Could you describe what it looks like or what it is attached to? I can't see anything that would make contact with the plate.

- Christopher P on May 4, 2019
look at the inside back wall of the printer. Up high, just left of center is the height limit switch. Directly under that, down low, under the build plate is a screw that contacts the limit switch when the build plate gets to top. Your limit switch is adjusted by turning that screw. Look online for limit switch adjusting instructions

Can I print a project 124.9 x 200 x 79.4 mm?
The spec says: "Build Volume 200 x 200 x 175 mm"
Is this the size of the plate or the max. size for projects?

BEST ANSWER: Thanks for the question. Build volume 200x200x175mm is the maximum print size. To include support, you may need to find larger print bed.

No because the attached base will be larger than your part. It will exceed the specs.
I have used the printer for a couple of months, but I have no able to create anything I want. Mainly the printer stops emitting material during printing, but I have no idea why. It have been very frustrating using the product.

generally no, you will have a BRIM that will add to the overall width of your modeled body, hence the build dimensions shall include this BRIM. i suppose you could eliminate the brim, but i have not done that before.

I contacted support and they said everything was on the SD card. All that was on my SD card was the Windows version of Cura. The Facebook group has files for OS X, but I just downloaded Cura 2.3.1 and am using the Prusa i3 as the printer type, adjusting the print dimensions to 200x200x175. Have had good results with that.

BEST ANSWER: Contact Monoprice directly and see if they sell the mats. There are other brands out there that do the same thing, such as BuildTak. The original maker of the printer also makes the sheets. This printer was rebranded from Wanhao. You can check their sites if Monoprice doesn't offer them. Monoprice may actually send you a couple if you ask. Never know. There are also options for adding a PEI build surface. You are not out of options by any means. Hope this helps.

Honestly I haven't been terribly impressed with the Buildtak sheets that come with the printer. I've had better results with blue 3M painter's tape. I used 2" tape and applied several strips. I've also picked up a 200mm square sheet of PEI from amazon like Damon mentioned and have had very good results. I wouldn't bother trying too hard to get new buildtak sheets.

BEST ANSWER: The tube is a filament guide you can use along with some clips you can make with the printer (Thing 1664313 on Thingiverse). The poker is piano wire that can ve used to clear a clogged extruder. You can find a video on YouTube on how to use it.

They are both optional things for using your printer. The metal poker is to help clear filament out of the extruder if some gets stuck or to test if there is a clog if you're running into extruder issues. The tube is to run the filament through before it enters the extruder to reduce friction. Currently I don't use the tube but it can be useful if you notice that the filament is catching as the machine is pulling it in while printing.

The tube is used as a filament guide from the back of the printer to the extruder head. The tube will plug into the extruder head. You can print out a Filament Tube holder designed for this printer that goes in a slot on the back at thingiverse., ID # 1645945.. The metal poker is used to clear the extruder of any filament that might get jammed and helps keep it clean.

I have over 500 hours of print time on mine and I have yet to have a single failure. My only modifications were to put clips on the ribbon cable to tie to the PTFE tube so keep it up and out of the way and print a better cooling shroud for the filament cooling fan. The fans sound like they are about to go soon, but have been running that way for a while. For the price, not much compares to this one.

Monoprice Maker Select Plus 3D Printer
BEST ANSWER: I bought the Ultimate because I wanted to eventually be able to print using ABS filament, and having the frame surrounding the build area will help: Some problems with ABS (e.g. warping) can be reduced by having an enclosed print area kept at a stable warmer temperature. Also, an enclosure makes it easier to ventilate away the irritating fumes from ABS. There are enclosures available for purchase on the web and there are plans online if you want to build your own.

The Ultimate has an all-metal extruder that many people end up adding to the Select Plus later at some point as a third party upgrade (usually costs around $50). It can also do much finer layer sizes, but you have to change out the nozzle. It can also go a little faster, but don't count on actually getting anywhere close to 300mm per second; it's usually other factors than the print head speed that will limit you.

IMHO, the absolute best printer to use as a workhorse
I print constantly and once it's leveled, it STAYS leveled. I boost the printing speed in the slicer by 100% and it has never caused an issue. A rock solid frame, while the typical Creality and Prusa printers always seem to have some sort of constant frame stability issues that this one will never have. It's really heavy as a result. I can print with literally almost any filament. But, of course if it's ABS and such, you'll need to either install sides and some kind of top to retain heat. Jams are extremely easy to clear. If there are any issues, it's this: the display is really basic (limited # of characters too) and you have to name the files accordingly. The big problem is the cooling fan for the main board. They use a cheap sleeve bearing fan for the motherboard and they get noisy quick, and wear out after a few days of use. I always keep a few of these around ... about a buck or two each. I'm looking for an alternative ... but that fan aside, it's been my "go to" printer for it's bullet-proof printing results. I own several printers, but if I could only have one ... it'd be this one for certain.

A good upgrade
This is my second 3D printer and is a nice upgrade from the MP Select Mini (thought the Mini is still amazing).
I haven't had any issues with the printer, but it is definitely a project. What I found with 3D printing is that it is in many cases challenging to begin high-quality printing right out of the box with most printers. There will always be some work you have to do to optimize it and in my case, it was mostly trial and error. But once you dial in all of the settings, upgrade some parts, re-level the bed 5 times, it works like a charm.
Quick note, I'd very highly recommend getting motor dampeners for this printer. It makes a massive difference in machine noise.
I'd definitely get this printer again knowing what I know now.

Get rid of the dial
I have ruined 4 jobs now because the dial is too sensitive in some menus. While changing material, it keeps slipping and selecting CPE. And once you select the wrong material, you can't go back. You have to trash the job, and start over. But starting over means heating cycling two more times because the machine gets heater errors when it is restarted hot. And even when you change the material setting back to PLA, it still thinks it's on CPE for one more run.

Good, not great. Requires TLC
My first 3D printer. Pretty good out of the box and easy to set up and start printing. With almost 1000 printing hours in, I can say this:
1. Capable of very high quality prints if you tend to it.
2. Nozzles wear fast. Every time I have print issues I end up replacing the nozzle and issues go away. Buy a bunch of replacement nozzles and consider them consumable.
3. The fans that come on the hot end and print cooler are crap. Mine started failing about 6 months in. Easy to replace, however.
4. Parts are easy to find. This unit is a rebranded Wanhao D6.
5. Monoprice warranty service is bad/non-existent. Be prepared to fix this unit on your own. Even if you manage to get warranty support, it will likely require sending the unit back at your own cost (it is heavy, shipping will be $$$). Luckily there is a robust community for these printers and they are fairly easy to fix.
6. Buy quality filament and you will not be disappointed.
7. Skip the software that comes with it and download Cura directly. Much better.
Overall a great way to start 3D printing. Are there better printers out there? Yes, for sure. But they are likely more expensive and/or more difficult to get running properly.

Good, not perfect
This is a good, solid machine. All 3 axis are mounted in a robust configuration, so it is definitely designed to generate reliable prints. On the down side, the filament cooling fan duct is poorly designed, so the air flow is not directed to the proper place. Easy to print a new one and replace the factory one. The other problem I noticed is when trying to print large objects (around 190mm in X and Y); the X axis will randomly skip steps on the far end, resulting in a defective print. Not sure how to solve that yet.
My printer came with a loose screw in the box... I have not been able to figure out where it belongs, if in fact it belongs to this machine.
Overall, good machine, but still far from perfect.

Very Easy Setup
When it arrived, I had it set up and running the first print in about 30mins. And most of that time was un-boxing it. It came exactly as shown. The only adjusting I had to do was to level the bed and install the filament. I'm new to 3D printing so this was setup was very easy. I have other friends with more expensive 3D printers and they were impressed at the low maintenance and print quality of this machine. I'm very happy with this purchase! The only Negative I have isn't even with the printer its self. The modded Cura slicing software it came with on the memory card is greatly outdated and settings were lacking. Just grab you a Free Updated version of Cura, and find some custom settings in the community that work well with this printer because Cura doesn't come with this printer by default. But other then the software it is a very great beginner printer!
