Colin McGregor has one of these. They're not bad for the money. The V1 had problems with the controller board burning out, but they're likely on the V2 by now. My own 3D printer is approximately 10,000 rivets flying in close formation. While it's a kit (Reach 3D from Southern Missouri) it's as close to a from-scratch printer as you can get. It's about the same price as the Monoprice one. cheers, Stewart

by the way, Monoprice Select Mini is a rebranded Wanhao Duplicator i3 mini. https://www.reprap.me/wanhao-duplicator-i3-mini.html I guess they just chopped off the left side of i3 frame holding Z axis(including second z-axis motor), here's the original for the comparison -- http://www.prusaprinters.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/black.jpg Which likely made things wobblier, unless frame was strengthened is some serious ways, expect a lot of z-wobble in on both x and y axis -- http://www.soliwiki.com/Banding On Mon, Nov 27, 2017 at 3:38 PM, D.
