MINI MONOPRICEhttps://youtu.be/dVm8qnXM0Tw NOTE: This is a work in progress To teach myself modeling and 3D printing I've started working on a 1/3 ischz scale Monoprice Select Mini, my first printer that I just recently bought and am loving the hell out of! I started making this miniature to eventually use in a little stop motion video I wanted to create to help sell my first 3D modeled and printed product, but to my surprise and joy they sold out even before I actually made all of them, so no need for speed on the stop motion tip all of a sudden :) I wanted to finish the model nonetheless, so I can still learn from it (which I did. a lot), maybe make that video for a second series and also give back to this community, as I've already had just as much joy of Thingiverse as of the printer itself. Please feel free to print your own Minnie Monoprice and play with her, but do NOT use her for commercial purposes. She's not like that! If you made one please share, I'd love to see them! Also, if you've modded it, as you might have done with your real MPSM, please also do share. It would be great to see different personalized Minis, as that is another thing I love about 3D printing; not one machine seems to be the same. So far I've included: robin7331's MPSM Extruder Baseplate v1 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2029972) robin7331's MPSM Extruder Arm v1 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2030554) Makify1's MP Select Mini Slip-On Fan Guard (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2043464) CreativeTools's Universal Filament Filter and Lubricator (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:492067) a custom knob and LEGO spinner (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2147594) that I designed myself. They are my first ever mod and the first ever thingie I shared in the verse part of Sloop45's Lea Top Bust (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:642870) as the printed part Since I'm new to this and I just got my MPSM, I will very probably add more mods and upgrades to my real life machine. As I do, I intend to also mod and upgrade this miniature version. While I go along and finish working on this model I'll also post pictures and videos of the process and progress on mostly my Instagram (@baschz) and some on my Twitter (@baschz as well) account, using the hashtag #minimonoprice . If you're interested :) I'd love to hear what you think of it so far! STILL TO DO AND/OR FIX AND IDEAS Better the the main tower slots Add a real size microSD slot in the base (for the video) Double check and tweak all tolerances Check if the main tower is better and faster if I just fill up the big open space. thought it would save time and filament keeping it open, but seeing the time the printer takes neatly drawing the lines to the walls inside, filling it up might just be faster -Tweak the selfmade support for the LEGO spinner -Print and test everything in colour UPDATES SO FAR 3/27/2017 Added one tiiiny thin layer of blue painter's tape to the heated bed! Tell your printer to pause at height 0.13125mm and switch filament colours. Since I print on tape myself it even copied the structure. Pretty happy about this little proof of concept thingie P.S. print without a brim or even a skirt, since the second colour will cover those lines partly. Or do like I did (when I realized it just in time); swiftly peel off her skirt before the colour switch 3/27/2017 Improved and uploaded the LEGO Spinner. It has some very crisp snapable supports now 3/28/2017 Since I've added tape to the heated bed, I might just as well add a whole roll, for when I need more :) The roll in the pictures is printed on 0.13 in Colorfabb Sky Blue PLA and Colorfabb Woodfill and gives the almost exact perfect colours for this little friend
