About a year and a half ago I purchased my first 3D printer which was the original Monoprice Maker Select 3Dprinter (Monoprice has release version 2 of this printer now). This printer was an outstanding printer for a beginner and I was really impressed with how easy it was to setup and use. After using this printer for several months, I purchased another printer from a different manufacture however I did not have the best of luck with it. When I finally gave up on making that printer work decently, I decided to go back to Monoprice for my third printer. I ended up purchasing the Maker Select Ultimate 3D printer and after using this printer for several months, I can honestly say that I am very happy with my decision.
