Prints look like trash.
First layer never adheres.
Auto bed leveling doesn't do anything, unless the offset setting in the tuning menu isn't supposed to change? (WHo knows, cause none of this printer is actually documented)
PETG prints like trash.
WILL NOT work over USB with ANY software but the included version of Cura, and barely at that.
If print needs to be aborted, it must be done in the following way, failure to do so will either crash cura or just plain not connect to the printer:
- Cancel print in Cura
- Cancel print on printer LCD
- turn printer off then back on
- restart print in Cura.

This printer is trash.

This is my second Monoprice printer, my first being their Maker Select V2. This printer is an improvement over the V2 in every way: price, performance, features, size, and noise! The auto bed leveling is phenomenal and once you find the correct z-height adjustment, the MP10 is the most reliable FDM printer in the price range that i?ve ever experienced. Would highly recommend!

My experience is that the auto-leveling feature does not work. But once you get it manually leveled it is a nice printer.

It worked a couple times and now it won't advance filament, won't correctly align the bed and extruder keeps slipping. All replacement parts are out of stock and it looks like there is little or no support moving forward for fixing broken or low quality parts through MP. Will be looking for a refund, expected this to last longer than 3 weeks.

The machine is simple and compact. While not as precise as some machines of similar size of higher price value, the machine does come with auto bed leveling and a nice touch display. The bed is heated and the temperature range is good for basic filament like PLA, I do not think this machine can do ABS or other high temperature type filaments,, but it is a good starter machine imo.

The layout of the spool holder and entry is logical, and easier to feed the filament through the filament out sensor placed at the entry of the stepper motor that pushes the filment in. Distribution of filament this way and around the front of the machine, while it is not aesthetically pleasing, it is functional and if you place value over funtion first thant this machine fills that quality nicely.
The connections are rather easy on the side and under the bed of the machine.

Assembly is, as many similar types, with pre-assembled extrussion tower, to pre-assembled base is rather easy and the instructions are to the point.

About my background: I think it is important from the point of who these reviews come from, to estabish, since they can help put a weight and reference on validity of the review.

I am an engineer specialized in many technical fields and have been around 3D printing since the first 3D Systems SLA machines which I managed and operated for a few years. I also run a small business and 3D printers are a valuable part of my operation. I have several machines from various vendors, that I use for more professional high quality parts, but I bought this machine, inexpensive, and small footprint, to have it next to my PC for quick prototypes.

This little machine, is not so little but seems that way, is 200x200x200 in X.Y.Z dimesnions, it really impressed me, in the way it prints parts, for the most part pretty descent for a machine of this price range.

Having said all that, one issue I have had is a hickup in couple of the print jobs, where the machine stopped and wanted me to resume as if the filament sensor had detected filament out, but I had a full spool. I contacted right away technical support and voice my issue, and the techn said he would pass it on to the proper department and someone would get back to me. No one did. But I did get an e-mail requesting for my expereince with the machine so I am posting it here.

Another issue is with the print bed material, it worked great for a few prints, then it started to delaminate and bubbled at the center from the metal plate undeneath it. While the rest of the surface is still instact. I think the bed surface material is not suitable for prints that require temperature of the filament to be 225 degrees celcius, or higher, as this tends to really get the filament stuck to the surface which is then hard to remove without ruining the surface. I think a glass surface or something that is able to take hifgher filament temperatures would be a nice upgrade.

OK. So for the topping of the cake. I love the Magnetic Hot end, I can easily adapt this machine to multiple hot ends perhap for easier color swaps, but I am more about print quality and not so much about printing layers in colors and while I would prefer a glass surface on the bed, I do like the fact you can remove it also because it is also magnetic.

Price, great price I got it a discount under $150 and hope they keep these machines at that price. Considering I have two very early 3D printers that I was trying to upgrade with off the shelf componetns, touch screen and on board controller, the cost of this mahine is near what I spent just in seprate components trying to upgrade some early PC driven machines.

While there is no such thing as perfect, this is a great little machine worth giving it a shot for hobby use or prototyping, somthing that you quickly need a sample of. The open architecture is also convenient in case you need to service it.

Great starting 3D printer! I've been wanting to buy one for years. I did my research. I think with the 15% extra discount I got this thing for only $120. Make sure you buy the Monoprice PLA+ filament though! I never actually tried their basic PLA, but I've tried other brands, and they suck. Good prices! No reason not to buy the Monoprice PLA+, and its worked flawlessly for me since I bought the printer about a month ago. I couldn't be happier with this purchase! (Well maybe if the touchscreen was better, but if you are smart, you'll figure it out!)

It's everything they say it is. It took just a few tries and adjustments to get it tuned in. An easy enough process. Once that was done I have made many prints both small and large with very good results. I like the removable bed. A rather large print was being a bit stubborn. A little flex of the plate and it popped right off. The controls are straight forward and easy to use. I would indeed recommend the MP10 Mini.

Prints have been coming out great and was a wonderful start to 3D printing

I was able to set the printer up and successfully print the test file without much issue. I did have a little trouble following the wire diagrams of the printer that show you how to assemble the printer, but eventually figured it out. At first I had trouble finding the threaded rod, and I mounted the upright backward. I feel good quality photos would help a lot instead of the wire diagrams. Once I got the printer assembled properly everything about using the printer was very intuitive. The only minor issue I had during the print was that the printer would say it was out of filament periodically, but this was with the roll of included test filament that wasn't on a spool. Once I mount my spool of filament I feel that issue will be fixed. I feel this printer would serve anyone well, but especially someone just starting out with 3D printing like me.

I purchased this printer in December of 2020. It worked quite well after tweaking the CR-10 Cura settings a bit. (I use Linux exclusively, so this was my only option.) I also replaced the extruder with a $10 aluminum unit as I haven?t had very good luck with the similar plastic extruder on my MP Select Mini.

The printer worked well up until about three weeks ago when the inductive sensor on the Z-axis went bad in the middle of a print job. (You will know if this happens to you as the Z-axis will no longer go down from the front panel nor via Octoprint.) To their credit, Monoprice quickly honored my warranty, but instead of sending me a new sensor, had me return the whole unit for a swap. It took a bit over two weeks from the date I submitted my trouble ticket to the arrival of the new printer, which I consider stellar service.

Upon un-boxing, the printer looked pretty much like my original unit, except for the Z-axis probe. This unit now has a mechanical ?touch? type sensor, which hopefully will be more reliable than the previous inductive unit. It now takes a bit longer to complete an automatic bed leveling routine, but it seems to be a lot more consistent than with the inductive unit. And, at least with this printer, the bed is almost perfectly flat compared to my previous printer.

I never really liked the front panel control on my previous MP10 Mini as it was hard to see and the touch panel required quite a bit of pressure to send a command. This was a minor issue to me as I almost exclusively use Octoprint to control my printer. I was pleasantly surprised to see the new printer has a much better display that one can actually read from across the room. It is bright and has plenty of contrast. It also is far more responsive to touch than the previous unit and shows more information during a print job.

The removable build plate is also quite nice and seems to hold PLA well without the need for any glue, hairspray, painters tape, etc. I have had no problem releasing the finished jobs from the plate with just a little twist. Even the brim lines come off in one piece, with a little coaxing from a fingernail.

I really like the removable hot end assembly. This make it a lot easier to clean and replace the nozzle. The magnetic holder does a great job of securing the assembly to the unit. As a bonus, it makes it very easy to mount a cheap dial indicator on a steal plate in place of the hot end for manually adjusting the build plate leveling very accurately.

The only negative issue I had with the replacement printer was that the base frame was not perfectly square. As a result, it would wobble on my work bench. This was easily solved by loosening the two sets of the screws on the frame front and then alternating tightening each side with the frame resting on a flat surface.

A real oddity with this printer is that it comes with a rather short 33 inch power cord. Be prepared to use an extension cord unless your power outlet is right next to your printer. Or you could do what I did and replace the cord with a longer unit. I used a right-angle plug from my collection of power cables, which made for a neater exit from the bottom of the unit.

I have printed about a half-dozen jobs with the new printer and it seems to be working very well so far. A 20mm calibration cube, the first thing that I printed, was 20.13mm in X, 20.11m in Y, and 20.07mm in the Z axis. A less than a 1% dimensional error from the factory is not bad at all.

There are a lot of mods that can be done to this unit to make it even better. Installing Octoprint and replacing the extruder were the first things I did, and those provided the greatest improvement. I also fabricated a simple enclosure with foil-backed Polyiso board to keep ABS from warping, added a camera to Octoprint, installed a light at the top of the unit, and printed a number of accessories such as a tool holder, extruder knob, filament roller, etc. After all, modding is half the fun of owning a 3D printer.

Overall, I am very pleased with this printer and with Monoprice. While it is not a totally ?plug-n-play? printer like the MP Select Mini, it is not all that hard to tweak into a very nice little unit. I think that with all of its improvements, this printer is worth the price.
