Monoprice Mini Delta V1 Cura 4.5+ Setup - Profiles, Start Gcode, Tweaks, etc. - TL/DW in Description

Monoprice Mini Delta V1 Cura 4.5+ Setup - Profiles, Gcode Tweaks, etc.

DO NOT DO THIS FOR THE MPMD V2 (not yet released as of mid-2021). The upcoming Monoprice Mini Delta V2 appears to have completely different firmware and will likely behave very differently.

As of version 4.5, the Monoprice Mini Delta is finally in the list of selectable printers in Cura. However, newcomers are still getting tripped up here-and-there, so I made this video to help people get started out with installing Cura 4.5, importing Brian’s profiles, and doing some minor tweaks to your Start Gcode. As always, the short text version and timestamp bookmarks are all in the video description.

1. Mention MPMD 101 and the Lucky Cat (auto00.g).

2. Full Uninstall - to fix crashing problems (not always necessary)

3. Install Cura 4.5 (or later)

4. Select "MP Mini Delta" as your printer. Lower the bed temperature in Cura so that stuff will actually print.

5. Import Brian's Profiles

Use the "Update Only" folder because "New Folder" was for v3.6-4.4.1 installations.

6. Set some basic calibration parameters in your Start Gcode for optimal layer heights (aka magic numbers) and segments per second. Also, do some tweaks to make your first layer stick a bit better. At the very least, I'd suggest setting the correct M92 values.

7. Test Print

I did a filament filter in this video just because I will need it for a future video. You can watch part 3 of my extrusion calibration video if you care about fancier stock test prints.
