What can a major retailer be doing selling a 3d printer? Lets find out a bit more in the Monoprice select mini 3d printer review.

In the early days of 3d printing, and to a certain degree nowadays,

when buying a 3d printer you are left on your own. The box arrives and you have to put the printer together. With parts not fitting, instructions vague, forum help good but time consuming. When you eventually completely assembled the printer then setting up the printer is a series of trial and error, bed levelling, end stop setting, heat settings, the list is endless.

How about leaving all of that behind?

How about asking all the questions you have before you order the printer?

How about unpacking a complete printer with no difficult assembly?
