The max bed temperature of 60°C is below the recommended 70°C for Nylon. Adhesion may be poor without additional bed adhesion aids.
| Filament Nozzle Requirement | 240-280°C |
| Printer Max Nozzle | 260°C |
| Filament Bed Requirement | 70-90°C |
| Printer Max Bed | 60°C |
What to do instead
- Your printer's bed maxes out at 60°C, but Nylon needs at least 70°C for reliable adhesion.
- Try a compatible filament for your Monoprice MP Select Mini — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
- If you need Nylon specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 240°C+ nozzle.
