The machine comes out of its packaging as two major parts that require four screws and some plugging in to come together. Out of the box, the Select Plus comes almost completely assembled - but not quite. This is practically unheard of on any printer under $500. To top off this already impressive package, the MP Maker Select Plus also features a built-in touchscreen LCD panel in lieu of a dial or physical buttons. This greatly expands the range of objects you can make with your printer. The Maker Select Plus supports almost any type of filament that you can get your hands on, from ABS and PLA, to some stranger filaments like Jelly and Felty.
The printer’s 100 micron (0.1mm) minimum layer height puts it squarely in the middle of the pack in terms of resolution, but it makes up for that with an absolutely massive range of material compatibility. In terms of print quality, the Maker Select Plus punches way above its weight class
As an added bonus, the print bed is also heated, which boosts adhesion and helps prevent print warping. While this isn’t the biggest print envelope we’ve ever encountered, it’s much larger than what we’ve seen on other machines at similar prices. The Maker Select Plus boasts an impressive set of features, and arguably the most significant one is its spacious 7.9″ x 7.9″ x 7.1″ build area. Thing is, the Mini Delta is on the lowest end of the price spectrum when it comes to Monoprice 3D printers - so we got our hands on a $400 Monoprice Maker Select to see how it compares. Perhaps the best example of this is the company’s $160 Mini Delta printer, which earned high marks in our review despite its outrageously low price point. Over the past couple years, the company has released a handful of printers that are not only extremely affordable, but also packed with high-end features that you typically can’t find on such inexpensive machines. Monoprice is crushing the 3D printer game right now.
