And PLA is widely regarded as the better filament choice for hobbyist printing. (As with any printer, you should always factor in the cost of consumables.) Monoprice sells spools of PLA for $19.99, definitely a competitive price. Speaking of filament, Monoprice supplies only a small amount to get you started, so plan on ordering more. The MP Select Mini ticks most of the important home 3D printer boxes: heated print bed, Wi-Fi connectivity, SD card slot, 100-micron print resolution and support for both ABS and PLA filament. That's after applying promo code MINI40 at checkout, which is good for either the black or white model. But at least many homes can now afford to have one, as evidenced by today's deal: For a limited time, you can get the Monoprice MP Select Mini 3D Printer v2 for $179.99 shipped. Years ago, I predicted that in the not-too-distant future (like, now-ish), every home would have one. I'll admit I was wrong about 3D printers.
