The max bed temperature of 60°C is below the recommended 100°C for PC. Adhesion may be poor without additional bed adhesion aids.

Filament Nozzle Requirement260-310°C
Printer Max Nozzle260°C
Filament Bed Requirement100-120°C
Printer Max Bed60°C

What to do instead

  • Your printer's bed maxes out at 60°C, but PC needs at least 100°C for reliable adhesion.
  • Try a compatible filament for your Monoprice MP Select Mini — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
  • If you need PC specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 260°C+ nozzle and 100°C+ heated bed.
