View source for Monoprice Voxel 3D Printer

The [https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=33820 Monoprice Voxel] is an affordable 3D printer using 1.75mm filament. It is said to be a rebranded [https://flashforge-usa.com/products/adventurer-3 FlashForge Adventurer 3], which seems plausible from external appearance. I believe it to have "Sailfish" flavored GCode.

The build area is 150mm x 150mm x 150mm. The nozzle diameter is 0.4mm.

It claims to support 3MF, STL, OBJ, FPP, BMP, PNG, and JPG via its slicing software; GX and G are directly supported.

==Calibration==
* Enter calibration mode using the on-screen display.
* The nozzle will be lowered by the device.
* Fine-tune the nozzle until a piece of paper can just slide underneath it.
** Use the up and down buttons on the touchscreen

==Software==
Monoprice makes the [https://www.matterhackers.com/store/l/mattercontrol/sk/MKZGTDW6 MatterControl] software available as a deb. Installing it on my [[Debian|Debian Unstable]] machine in October 2019 saw it crash a lot. Most of these were due to missing dependencies; make sure you've installed:
* gnome-themes-standard
* mono-vbnc

==Printing from USB storage==
* The camera disables USB storage. The camera ''must be turned off'' to print from USB.
* The USB storage must be formatted with an old DOS-style partition table, as far as I can tell.
* The gcode files must have a ''.g'' extension.
* Select "build" from the main menu
* Insert the USB drive, and wait for an icon to show up at the top indicating it has been mounted. Once this happens, the flash drive source will become available.
* Select the flash drive, and select your gcode file.

==Accessing the printer==

For hostname <tt>voxel.localnet</tt>, use http://voxel.localnet/?action=stream to access the camera.
