Monoprice just wrapped up another great show at Maker Faire Bay Area. Maker Faire is an all-ages show for inventors, hobbyists, crafters, and tinkerers in San Mateo, CA. A playground for “Makers”, you can find anything from augmented reality to cheesemaking and robotics to giant soap bubble artists. Monoprice fit right in with its 3D printers. We showed off some of our newest 3D printers including the Delta Pro, SLA resin and Mini Pro 3D printers – all landing Summer 2018.

Pepcom New York 2018
Pepcom is an evening geared towards media who are looking for the next best thing to write about. A couple times a year, we show off all the cool things that just arrived or will be coming soon. This time, we highlighted our upcoming STITCH Smart Home brand, new Monolith and Monoprice audio offerings, and the just released Mini Deluxe SLA Resin 3D printer. Media were particularly excited about the affordability and ease of use of the STITCH brand and the fantastic price point of the True Wireless earphones.
Highlights:
Monoprice MP Mini Deluxe SLA LCD High Resolution Resin 3D Printer + 250ml Red Photopolymer Resin
Expand your prototyping possibilities with ultra high resolution 3D Printing. The MP Mini Deluxe SLA LCD Resin Printer is a high resolution desktop machine that matches the print quality of large, industrial printers at a far lower cost. The MP Mini Deluxe SLA uses stereolithography (SLA) technology to achieve a professional print quality that plastic extrusion printers just can’t match. Stereolithography is the gold standard for accuracy and resolution in 3D printing.
STITCH Wireless Smart Plug with Energy Monitory and Reporting
This Wireless Smart Plug allows you to remotely control a lamp or small appliance in your home using your Android™ or iOS® smartphone or tablet.
