Monoprice MP10 300x300mm Build Plate 3D Printer
Discover the reliability and precision you’ve been seeking in a compact, feature-rich 3D printer with the Monoprice MP10. Built around a robust 300x300 mm heated bed, this printer pairs a flexible, removable steel spring build plate with an all-metal extruder for dependable performance across a wide range of filaments. The MP10 is designed to deliver consistent first layers, smooth retractions, and durable prints, making it an excellent choice for hobbyists, educators, and professionals who demand repeatable results without constant tinkering. An integrated assisted level sensor in the magnetic extruder assembly further simplifies setup, enabling fast, accurate bed calibration so you can focus on designing and printing. Whether you’re prototyping, teaching, or exploring advanced materials, the MP10 is engineered to support your workflow from first layer to final layer with minimal frustration.
- Large, dependable build area — The MP10 offers a generous 300x300 mm build surface, giving you the freedom to print sizable prototypes and multi-part assemblies in a single session. This space is paired with a heated bed to improve bed adhesion on a wide variety of filaments, helping you achieve strong layer bonds and smoother finishes across different geometries. The 300x300 footprint is ideal for mid-range projects, functional parts, and educational demonstrations that require a balance between print volume and machine footprint.
- Flexible, removable steel spring build plate — The heart of reliable prints is a plate that heats evenly and releases parts with minimal friction. The MP10’s steel spring build plate is designed to flex gently, promoting consistent contact with the nozzle and reducing warping on taller prints. It’s removable, making post-processing easier and enabling quick plate swaps if you’re running a demanding production schedule or swapping materials. This design helps keep surfaces flat, flatness matters for complex geometries, and the flexibility makes first-layer calibration less finicky.
- All-metal extruder for durability and performance — An all-metal extrusion system delivers improved reliability at higher temperatures and with a broader set of filaments. This rugged construction translates to fewer wear-related failures and more predictable extrusion behavior across long print runs. The all-metal design also supports stiffer tolerances, which contributes to sharper layer definitions and better control over flow, especially when printing with faster layer times or challenging materials.
- Assisted level sensor and magnetic extruder assembly — The MP10 features an assisted leveling workflow driven by a sensor integrated with the magnetic extruder assembly. This combination makes bed leveling faster and more repeatable, so you can dial in the correct Z offset without trial-and-error adjustments. With the sensor guiding the process, you’ll experience fewer failed first layers and more consistent adhesion, improving overall print reliability and reducing setup time for both new and experienced users.
- In-menu Z-offset adjustments for perfect first layers — The printer’s intuitive menu holds Z-offset controls, enabling precise, repeatable first-layer calibration. Rather than relying on manual shims or iterative test prints, you can fine-tune the offset directly in the interface to achieve a smooth, even first layer. This feature is especially beneficial when switching between spools, filaments with different bed adhesion properties, or when switching build plates, ensuring consistent results with minimal effort.

How to install Monoprice MP10 300x300mm Build Plate 3D Printer
- Power down the printer and unplug it from the electrical outlet before starting any installation or maintenance procedures.
- Remove the existing build plate if present, taking care to disconnect any sensors or cables associated with the bed assembly. Keep hardware organized to avoid mix-ups during reassembly.
- Place the 300x300 mm heated, flexible steel spring build plate onto the print bed. Ensure it sits level and is free of debris that could affect adhesion or plate flatness.
- Reconnect the heated bed and sensor wiring as per the manual, then ensure the magnetic extruder assembly is properly aligned. This alignment is critical for reliable Z-offset measurements and consistent extrusion.
- Power on the printer, enter the bed leveling menu, and follow the assisted leveling prompts. Use the Z-offset adjustment to achieve a perfect first layer, performing a small calibration test if needed. Once the first layer looks even and adheres well, proceed with a test print to verify extrusion quality and adhesion across the plate.
