Excellent machine and well worth the money.

Worked once filament flows from spots where it shouldn't
i makes me want a better one.. we'll see who gets the order

not unhappy like I said it was refurbished! I got what I paid for I guess

Once it is leveled up, printed like a champ. It has its faults, but is so well put together that it is a perfect starter printer. Reminds me of a piece of lab equipment.
The UI is simple to a fault, but there are lots of connection alternatives for tuning the firmware. The display is easy to read. The control knob is small and can be a bit fiddly without modification. There are a lot of way to fix it and instructions are online.
The platform is small, but should be sufficient for many prints. Only issue I had was a defective power supply. Opened a ticket, and a replacement was sent quickly. New supply is lower amperage, but there appears to be no problem reaching and maintaining printing temps.

Pros:- it was cheap - it’s small- can print mods for the device, with the device- tons of resources for modifications since this is olderCons:- my bed came warped in the middle- unit is dusty and rods did not look oiled and had hair and junk from whoever had it last- inside the unit is dusty and left me with QC questions about refurbished printers for the futureAll in all it’s a decent printer, I paid 89$ and I guess I got what I paid for : / It would be cool if Monoprice could help a guy out with some kind of replacement parts ; ) All the issues I have run into so far have mainly been due to the unit being used and not totally refurbed. It’s a learning lesson in its own, I would suggest this to someone who has more experience than I did when I first ordered the mpsm v1. However, to any one who knows a little, do more research into modifications and all of the parts of a 3D printer and their function before jumping in, luckily for me I know electronic basics!

Works fine as arrived. The heat bed was little bend but a replacement was sent free without question.Added a glass bed, and printed some updates and its working like a lot more expensive printer.For $89.99 you cannot ask ant better.with cost of the upgrades and still more than $30 bellow the new V2 price.

Great little printer for a great price!

I have 4 of these printers and love them. They print day in and day out, and for the price you can't go wrong. I had a fan fail once, tech support quickly got a new one sent out to me. Excellent customer service!

If you're even toying with the idea of 3D printing then quit thinking and just buy the darn thing. I promise you won't regret it.

But be warned that you will get the fever. I must have run a mile of PLA through this in the few months I've had it.

I've had minor issues that were easily solved by the online community. Yes, there are a lot of Monoprice Mini V1 users out there who have modded their machines beyond belief!

Just buy it. OK?

You're welcome.

I have printed several different items. I enjoy the easy setup, the easy loading and the fillament and easy operation.
Have made several usfull tool holders and tool clamps. Game pieces are easy and cool looking.

Mixed thoughts. Makes you wonder what is the meaning of the word refurbished. Was unable to print more than about 5 mm of the cat . Bed seemed to be level but Y-axis never hits the limit switch until it grinds away on the belt a few times. A well known problem. Caused by the poor routing of the heat bed harness wiring.And that often ends up “self reporting” : microSD is empty. Which I don’ understand. There is no explanation as to how to insert the microSD card, pins up ? or pins down?MonopOf course, the manufacturer did not expect thr owner to do any modifications but it would help if there was a diagram of the pin out of each connector on the circuit board and it’s intended use.
