So I decided to drop my backing for the 101hero delta and pick up the $200 MP Select Mini instead as it was readily available (out of stock now, apparently) and I have to say I am certainly impressed with the quality.The machine itself is very heavy for how big it is, at least 20 pounds by itself. Id prefer to have a more robust heated bed myself as the max temp seems to be around 60c (how they claim to be able to print ABS I do not know) although I did notice that the setting does allow you to go UP to 80c if you modify during a print, strange.My unit did have a slight issue when I received it in that the hotend/part cooling fan was not working. It was simply unplugged and was easy enough to plug in once we got the bottom off (6 screws); Aside from that, I noticed that I did not receive the sample filament that others seemed to have gotten, but we had a roll of matte grey pla available from our old i3 that we broke, so that wasn’t a huge issue. I also have a roll of NGen I’d like to try out on it later on once we get the profiles set up right.So far I’ve printed a few pieces that came with the printer and then a benchy, because benchy.The elephant was printed with default settings that came on the SD card, the benchy was printed using s3d with some exploratory settings that I thought might work well. Its a little rough but overall is not bad at all!http://ift.tt/1X4ELfm did notice though, that there seems to be a little loss of detail on the y axis, unless I’m mistaken, I think its supposed to have text on the back of the boat (but I mean, that detail is so small that I’m surprised I can see anything, to be honest)Overall I am very pleased with this printer, and am actually considering picking up a few more, for the price they’re a steal. http://ift.tt/1TQkKDO
