theroflcopterHell the monoprice is like.. $400 lol. Get the mini delta for $150.
This is not an impressive printer at the price. Not in volume or in functionality.

RavenisAgreed, I like my mini delta, although it's a bit finicky.

Epic_EnkiduMy experience is all anecdotal so take this with a grain of salt; the mini delta can work well, but there seems to be a fairly high percentage of 'lemons' that have serious flaws out of the box.
The auto-leveling (really, bed-probing) system requires a lot of trial and error, and the right settings seem to be different for everyone. I haven't been able to reach the print speeds that others have reported and still have acceptable print quality, so YMMV in that regard. The print size is also smaller than your select mini (110mm diameter circle vs 120mm cube)
If you put in the time to get it set up, it can produce great prints. I would recommend finding the owner's group on Facebook, there are lots of helpful people and information there. Might help you judge if you want to get one or not.
