So the version that comes with the Ultimate gets the job done, but it is old and doesn't have many features. The new version of Cura doesn't work out of the box, and needs to be tweaked to work properly. So here you're going to learn what you need to do to make Cura work perfectly with this printer!

I had some trouble figuring out how to connect my Monoprice Mini Select V2 up to the Octoprint install we did yesterday. After doing some research this isn't.

Firstly, you're going to need to go into the Cura machine settings and add a new custom printer.

  1. 6,562 downloads Updated: September 6, 2018 GPL. Description Free Download 100% FREE report malware. Standalone desktop app for 3D printing.
  2. I was the same way! Download the latest version of cura (2.4 on PC, probably same on Mac?) It lists the settings you need in the manual. So create a new printer in Cura, and name is whatever. Then the 'Machine settings' are all you need- X:200,Y:200,Z:180 and make nozzle width 0.4, then check 'heated bed'.
  3. BEST ANSWER: There is a Monoprice version of Cura but you are better off going to Ultimakers website and downloading the latest version of regular old Cura. It is up to date and much nicer to use. You will need to set up your printer in Cura so google 'Wanhao i3 Cura Settings' and you will find lots of guides.

Then you're going to want to replace those START/STOP Gcode lines in the machine settings with a custom set of codes in to the appropriate panel. You put the start gcode in the left panel, and the stop gcode in the right panel. Easy enough. Make sure to erase anything that was there previously. .

Some of these can be changed to user preference, like print speed, layer height, etc..these settings are primarily meant to give you the proper raft settings, since the default raft settings in Cura do not work properly at all with this printer. These settings will make a really good raft for when you need one. The other settings, like travel speed and print speed, are what I personally consider a good middle ground that doesn't push things too much and doesn't produce quality issues for basic prints. These settings could very well be bumped up, or lowered, as needed, so only take them as a guide rather than a limit.
