Finally had some free time to open and start setting up the Maker Select Plus. I’ve included some photos of the unboxing, and made a couple notes on the assembly and setup.
The package arrived in good condition after being shipped by UPS Ground. The box is 19″ by 19.5″ and 11″ tall, and though I didn’t weigh it the shipping label indicates the package weighed 30 pounds.
Opening up the box revealed some internal packaging. Though you would have no way of knowing it at this point, the user’s manual somewhere inside recommends removing this from the box.
Contents include the heat bed with a test print of a butterfly attached.
Tower frame and base side by side. The base measures about 10.5″ by 16″.
Found a couple small defects, but nothing insurmountable. Here one of the X-Axis rods slid out of one end, but seemed to go back in without damage.
When I first took it out of the packing I noticed a loud rattling in the base, and soon discovered that one of the knurled nuts was missing from the heat bed. I had to remove the base in order to reach it, seen here at the bottom left of the base near the hex tool.
That did give me the chance to look under the hood at least.
Here it is assembled, and next time I’ll be powering it up and doing calibration.
