The Monoprice website has the MP Cadet 3D Printer on sale for $199.99. That's a 20% discount compared to its regular $250 street price, and the deal comes with free shipping in the U.S. You'll still find the Cadet going for $250 at other retailers including Amazon and Target. The Cadet is a relatively new 3D Printer that only came out earlier this year, and we have never seen a deal on it before. This is a great way to save if you're interested in learning a new hobby.
