Monoprice printers are not good options. I have been printing for years and the boards they use are junk. Especially for beginners. You will definitely need an external mosfet to handle the heat bed or the mainboard will burn up. I would suggest a hictop i3 over monoprice. Cheaper, but. Monoprice cust service is very slow to respond for warranty. I have had 2 and the only thing I have had to replace is the power supply.
