Electronics Reverse Engineering Walkthrough - Hacking the Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printer

I'd like to design my own custom UI for my Monoprice select mini 3D printer.

But before writing some software we obviously need to know our enemy and reverse engineer all the hardware components.
In this video I will go through every single detail in how I reverse engineered the MP Select Mini (or Malyan M200) 3D Printer.

If you purchase one of the items below I'll get a small commission from amazon. Thanks for your support!

Happy Hacking!

Hey guys!
Are you interested in more of these reverse engineering videos?
If so, leave a comment and tell me what product you like to see getting hacked ✌️

Probably once of the best produced, well explained video's I've watched on youtube in a long time. Congrats. Subscribed.

One of the BEST reverse engineering videos i've seen so far. Very technical & even understandable for a newbie like me... thumbs up... DO MORE VIDEOS !!!!

[newsogn]

THAT....WAS....the most interesting thing I have seen all day, its not very often I watch an entire video like this and I was bummed when it ended.

[anttisuomela]

Very interesting, very informative, well presented and eye-opening. This is among the coolest videos I have ever seen (of course that has something to do with my personal interests - this video is certainly for a specific audience). Thank you for creating this content! I will certainly dig through your other videos.

Thank you so much I bought one of these printers from a friend that was broken (Extruder was so jammed and wouldn't heat up enough) and am currently reusing this display and selection module for another project

12:20 due to the fact that it's a python script, it should be able to crash on almost any platform :-D

This video has some good presentation quality.
It's always nice to see a presentation of reverse engineering work.

Been looking for a channel like this for such a long time. You got yourself a new subscriber.

[capistor]

that was awesome. I actually understood everything u said. Love ur work. Keep it up. Learned alot.

[ACPCalin]

Great hacking skills! How much time did all of this take? You make it seem so easy to reverse engineer, even though it most certainly is not!

At around 4:20: From the top of my head I would believe that the "J" stands for JOG as in Jogwheel.

[Edvin]

One of the best videos I have seen in a long time. Great presentation!

[MatheusErvilha]

Incredible content! Thank you VERY MUCH for this. It was amazing to see you work.

[AmateurInventor]

This is some gennuenly great informational content right there

Hi Robin, You don't happen to have the original firmware dump available? i kind of.. messed up a bit ;)

[deemon]

Holy heck, this is way above me and totally interesting! thank you for the video.

Nice work well presented. I would love to see you tackle the V2 motion board. I have just tried to update the firmware on a 1month old V2 (from v35 to v40 which should have been OK). The USB was unpredictable connected to a Raspberry Pi. Now I have nothing other than the UI and a "Please Wait!"

I know this is an old video but, I had my v1 screen break a while back. There are no v1 screens available. I was told the steps to connect a version 2 screen, done. I purchased several screens that were close but had 50 pins. could you show how to connect different screens to a available driver board? I could not get a information sheet on the driver board either. How about a larger size reen or any screen. That would be interesting and usuable information. To use the machine I had to go Arduino make that machine work. Thanks for the video and I hope for more including more on screen replacement. Thanks

Hi, it is most impressive! I would like to cut off a chunk of your knowledge and perseverance.

I would find an reverse engeneering video about the lexmark x5250 printer very interesting :)
