I have an Ender 3 Pro, and really like it. Then I got a MP10 Mini, and that brought things to a new level. I am giving the Ender 3 Pro to a friend for his Birthday present, as I haven't used it since I got the MP10. To say I am pleased would be an understatement.

I got it working and setup. Had to find profiles on my own for MacBook. you should include some on software chip for Mac. Downloaded ver 4.8 of Cura and used Creality CR-10 mini as starting point.went to internet for suggested settings. Learned a lot.

Bigger problem was the out of filament sensor was way to sensitive, any time print head moved too much it set off "out of filament " error message and paused machine. in 3hr print happened 23 times. I removed it for the filament path, stuff piece of filament in it and reattached underneath filament path. see photo attached.

Other than that seems to work fine now.

Got this for my 10 year old for Christmas, with lots of high hopes. All initially went well, but we have yet to have a successful full print.

The good:
- The included instructions were thorough in set up. It took ~30 minutes to assemble, and that was with my 10 YO "helping".
- The print quality seems pretty solid
- The machine itself seems easy to use

The less good:
- The instructions would have been a lot easier to follow if there was a picture that labeled the individual parts. Being new to 3D printing, it wasn't immediately obvious what the part names were referring to.
- A clear "front" on the chassis would have also sped things up for installation
- Lastly, some instructions on how to route the wires would have been helpful. If you don't do it right the bed won't move.
- The printer came with a nice cat sample to print, HOWEVER: The included filament wasn't enough to complete the test print. And while the machine thought several times during the print that it was out of filament but wasn't (more on this later), the one time it ACTUALLY ran out of filament it didn't pause. So print ruined. Also, the instructions say the cat should take roughly four hours, but our printed for over 8 hours and still didn't finish the head.
- As noted above, in multiple prints we've tried, the printer thought it was out of filament but wasn't. We're using monoprice filament, so you'd assume they work well together, but maybe not? Seems to be mostly an issue when the print is long, particularly when laying down the base on the bed. Happens less frequently on other prints.
- Similarly on "long" prints (>6cm), we are having problems where they come off the bed. I'm hoping it's just user error - seems like they start cooling and disconnecting before the next layer is printed. We'll try messing with bed temperature to see if that can help it.
- The latest Cura software no longer has MP10 profiles. You can either set up a profile manually in new versions, which MP had good instructions on how to do - however they only provided startup gcode, and not extruder or shut down gcode. We found not all commands worked as expected in Cura (fans didn't shut down, etc.). We reverted back to Cura 4.0.0, which DOES have the MP10 Mini profile, and different commands didn't work. For example it would correctly kick off the pre-heat cycle, but wouldn't read the correct temperature from the machine. My guess is that we'll have to play with the gcode some more to make it all work.

Overall, recognize that this isn't like buying an Epson and printing photos. This requires lots of old school hacking, reading, trying, retrying, to make it work. I bought this one because it claims to be one of the easiest "all in one" solutions - and in many ways it is. Auto-level, easy assembly, etc. are all very nice features. But it is by no means "print and forget". So if you enjoy tinkering and want a solid HW platform to tinker with, this is great. I am enjoying it. My 10 year old finds it frustrating, but that's ok, too, because we're learning together :)

Works out of the box, mesh bed leveling is a godsent for good first layers. It is a great printer to teach you about 3d printing. Very easy to service, i think that if you get this, and then get a more advanced model from another company, you will never stop using this printer and. getting very good results for the small amount of time it takes to set up prints. the only cons are, hard to get parts, and adjusting esteps is not in menu.
and as advice that i had to learn the hard way, clean bed with alcohol and use aqua net hairspray to keep parts from coming unstuck and causing print failure, or use some other product, and always auto home before you engage the auto level or results may vary and the bed may do crazy things like try to go beyond limits, or tries to level where there is no bed, and make horrible noises and you have to shut the power to get it to stop..

I purchased this as a Christmas gift, so I cannot speak to how it works, but it was shipped very timely and arrived in good condition. I know it is going to be a huge hit!!

I had a ton of issues getting the pla to stick to the bed, but hairspray fixed that for the most part. If you are new to 3-D printing there is a lot of tweaking the settings involved but the printer seems to be pretty solid. Mine did develop a squeak after several hours of printing however. I have yet to be able to locate the cause.

-----------------

I'm using Atomic Filament at 230C with a print speed of 50mm/s. This printer likes skirts to get the filament going before the print starts. Take some time to get your first layer correct, you will need to figure out the z-offset (on the display).

It took a lot longer to setup than I was hoping, but it was worth it. The only annoying part was the filament feeding. It was impossible to get that to work, but we figured it out. The filament sensor isn't perfect with white, but it's SOOOOO worth $300. No doubt, you need to purchase this printer.

I have a 3D modeler making 3D .STL files for me of parts and I needed to print the parts, decided on Monoprice and the MP10 Mini because of the features, build plate size, and now most of all the support. The support specialists at Monoprice are really knowledgeable and helpful, and their English is perfect so no communication issues, never have to wait long for support, and they know Cura very well which is good because it is the software I use to print my parts. The printer is well built, solid, and so far very dependable, some of my prints take close to 6 hrs to print and not one has failed to print.

This is my 3rd 3d printer from Mono-price and already my favourite.
The only issue I encountered was a plug inside the wire sleeve for the hot end that wasn't connected so be aware that there are several connections hidden inside the wire sleeves. The use of magnets on the hot end and build plate is very nice. It is also much quieter than my other printer. Overall an excellent printer and very well priced.
