Correct Printer Settings
Note: we’re printing in PLA. Right now, it looks like 30 degrees for the bed and 205 degrees for the extruder works best.

I Want to Print Something I Found on Thingiverse
Download and setup CURA. (Make sure your setting are for this printer: the Monoprice MP Select Mini V2).
Download the file from Thingiverse (not the gcode one).
Grab the miniSD card adapter taped to the white-tower + the miniSD card in the right-side of the printer (make sure nothing is printing when you do this!)
Put the miniSD in the adapter, and stick the adapter in the computer
Arrange the part as you would like on the bed using CURA, and then save to the (mini)SD card. (You should get a gcode file).
Put the miniSD back in the printer and then please tape the adapter on the printer again.
Print it! 🙂
