The Monoprice Select Mini is a solid 3D Printer but I had made some adjustments, mods, to the printer. I still wasn't fully happy with how everything turned out so I am going to make a few more adjustments to hopefully turn this into an even better printer. Check out today's video to see the new upgrades!

Thanks for watching!
Nice video. I like how you didn't gloss over the difficulties. I would like to see a summary video of how it all turned out and how your printing improved or didn't improve. Thanks for taking the time to produce this video.
When I did the wire move mod I replaced the heatbed wires with silicon insulated stranded wires that are designed to flex without breaking. Since you'll need to replace or repair the wires anyway I highly recommend using more flexible wires.
The V2 still had the issues with the broken heat bed wires. I got mine about a year ago and the first thing I printed were the parts to do the thermistor reroute. No issues after a year of printing. The 30mm part cooling fan is garbage though. Definitely worth upgrading to a 40mm equivalent PWM.
I had bed wire issue on my V2 about 6 months in. Monoprice repaired it under warranty.
Latest v2 has new layout for the wiring through a slot in the base in a protected sheath, so this mod is not needed in the latest version Nov 2018. G4PEY
Didn't even think about upgrading to a 40mm fan. I happen to have two, one a Noctura NF-A4x20 and the other a Silenx IXP-13-40. Will have to see what the specs are and if they'll be suitable... though guessing they will. I only need the one for the Klispch Pro Media 2.1 cooling upgrade. Maybe the other will be suitable for the V2. Thanks for the expert advice. I'm still waiting for the spool of filament in the mail, though everything else seems to be working with my new used black V2. Thinking silicone wire I have might not be a bad idea for the heated bed.
As with your first video, I will be making these mods to my PrimaCreate P120, especially the heater wires for the bed. Thanks for making the vid!
If your cable was already intermittent you need to repair the wire.
Would love to see more
Rerouting those wires is really important. Mostly because it's really difficult to solder replacements onto what amounts to a giant heat sink.
I think they used silver solder on the heated bed cause my iron did not melt it lmao. I just cut out the break in the wire and spliced the wire back together with a splash of solder. Re routed the wire out of the back and drilled a hold in the corner of the side panel to feed the wire in through.
Please do a follow-up on this video.
I like the I depth.
I added some new part cooling to my MPSM v1 earlier this year and have had issues with it. tldr it cools the bed too much and the bed can't keep up. I haven't really found a solution for that yet but I figured it's something you might want to look out for as well. I'll tackle it after I'm done converting my MPSM to a RAMPS board.
Have you tried putting cork under the bed?
Have you checked your bed wires? Mine were failing and the bed took forever to get up to temp. I replaced them and rerouted through a hole in the back and mine heats great again. Took a long time for the heated bed to actually stop heating, it just got slower and slower over time.
i received my select mini v2 last week and it looks that monoprice made things better. my mpsm v2 has a slotted hole for the hotbed cable and there is nearly no force on the cable while moving.
The cable still breaks
Just FYI. Your two right side end card video links do not work. It just stops the video. On a PC. Thanks for the awesome content!
Thanks! I'll fix that.
I just checked and the end cards are working. I can only make them show the last 20 seconds of the video so that is why you probably didn't see them.
how did the part cooling blower end up working for you? can you recommend
it? also did you notice much of a difference with the Z access stabilizer you added?
It's been working great so far. The Z stabilizer made a small difference but depending on how straight your Z screw is it might have a larger effect for you.
Is there a service that I can mail my Mini in the have it upgraded? I don't care for having to deal with the clips and allen screws when I get a clog plus I think my fan is starting to die. Also, is there some sort of upgrade to get the bed leveled ?
loszhor He has a V1, MP has since released the V2 which improves upon the V1.
Hi Shane. The description and links for part1 and 2 are not their anymore. I just found your channel. Any chance you still have the description & links? Thank you.
They're back today. Maybe it was a RUclips glitch. Thank you.
I've done that it really does suck I feel for you man
My mini shuts off randomly but it seems like it’s happening more frequently it dies in the middle of prints and I have to reset cause then memory isn’t stored where it left off any ideas?
Did you figure this out? My guess would be the PSU has a thermal safety and is causing it to shut off.
@@Fugatech3DPrinting I did the wires were loose in the clips that attached to the board so I just pressed them in place and it worked for a while but I just got the same issues of it shutting off again
From where do you draw power for the second fan?
I showed it in the video. The part cooling fan uses the same header that it was using. The hotend fan was soldered to the underside of the board.
@@Fugatech3DPrinting Too bad you didnt film that. I think many people would like to see the soldering.
Maybe but it really isn't anything special.
Hi, I have these two questions, if you can help answer, I appreciate:
1- I create pictures on autocad to turn it into format compatible for Cura Slices, but they are flat, how can the 3d printer make it into an object with 3D dimensions? I mean how I can do? the thickness needs to be specified?
2- Does this print have a range of max and min sizes of objects it can bring? well, i would like if there is a details manual about all these, but the manual when I bought the machine does not say or I miss somewhere?
Can I get a link for the cable chain you used? TIA.
All links are in the video description.
You should have done a pre-run first, then you wouldn’t have looked as if you had no idea.
Did I miss the belt tensioners?
I didn't use any. Well just the stock spring that is on it.
can you print all the upgrades on this printer?
DedoGamingONE / Sorcièr. Yes except for the nut for the GoPro mount and some screws
there is no cable chain stl file.u uploaded only just the support to place the cable chain
A quick search on Thingiverse and you can find it. www.thingiverse.com/thing:2151537
Oopps i printed www.thingiverse.com/thing:1167746 i hope its the same size
I have a question if you don't mind me asking for some advice
Sure. What's up?
@@Fugatech3DPrinting I just bought a new computer and downloaded the new cura app and it's been pausing and stops printing randomly on my prints. Just wandering if you had any thoughts of what is going on? I also have a monoprice mini printer.
Ah Cura. I don't use it so I can't say. Sorry.
@@Fugatech3DPrinting question about simplify 3d? Do you get the updates or do you have to purchase them also
So you need a another bigger printer to print the pieces to mod smaller printer. So i need 2 printers, got it.
where did you get the new feed unit?
feed unit?
3D Printed in the previous video and see the description for reference files: ruclips.net/video/TFO-qwQ8dLQ/видео.html Amazing how bad Thingiverse is for searching. I tend to use Google and Thingiverse searching since neither seems to find some items at times using the same search.
HEY MAN I DONT KNOW IF THERES A PROBLEM WITH MY MONOPRICE WHEN YOU SEND A WORK THE MINI MAKES A SOUND BEFORE FANS START WORKING, DO YOU KNOW IF THERES SOMETHING WRONG?
My bed wires failed in less than a month.
if you rewire the bedplate heater wire out of the way of getting caught and put it outside of the underpart itself, then it will not get caught anymore. reply back on here with more questions, because I had the same issue.
Jeeeze long winded dude just get to the point
