Modifications to my 3D Printer

January 2022

I got into 3D printing in late 2017 with a Monoprice Select Mini V2. More than 4 years later, I’m still using the printer, but last year I made a couple modifications to it.

Specifically, I performed the cable reroute mod using these instructions and these parts:

• Side plate - back (Thingiverse #2451362)
• Side plate - front (Thingiverse #1712796)
• About 20cm of 1/4” corrugated plastic tubing.

Here’s a picture of the printer shortly after I completed the mod:

I also set up OctoPrint on the retired Raspberry Pi that used to host this site, and it works wonderfully.
