Questions using this tag should involve a 3D printer that is manufactured by Monoprice and branded by the name Maker Ultimate 3D Printer.

The Maker Ultimate 3D Printer is a rigid all-metal (box) frame design which results in a stable print platform. This allows for print speeds up to 150 mm/sec. The printer has a heated build plate and can therefore print PLA, ABS, PVA, HIPS, and other popular filament types. It can print G-code files from a computer (multiple platforms are supported) using a USB connection or from an SD card. The printer has a low operating noise footprint of less than 49 dBA.
