The Monoprice Voxel is an affordable 3D printer using 1.75mm filament. It is said to be a rebranded 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 MatterControl software available as a deb. Installing it on my 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
