Does anyone have any idea why the orange version is selling for such a higher price?


It's the latest and greatest so it would be a higher price.

The only change the W+ brings is a new WiFi module to help connect faster.

On Amazon they are sold as the same item merely different colors. I own the Mini W+ and the holes are just a vent for the fan when in resting position.

Visually though they are so damn the same. lol

Thanks for the confirmation that they are just holes. I thought they installed a speaker there or relocation mainboard and put cooling fan at that spot, but sadly it is just holes. I'm going to drill holes on my Mini W so that it will become a Mini W+, lol.

I’m curious about that grill but in one of the online pictures it looks like you can see right through it so I suspect it is just a vent for the hot end when it is parked at the top.

My hope is that the + stands for better WiFi support but it could be anything.

I don't know if there are significant improvements internally or not but the Orange seems to be an earlier version of the Mini W/W+ printers.

Sorry the thumbnail I saw made the warning label look like a screen. Honestly if yours is working then why upgrade? The newest is not always the best.

I didn't say I was upgrading or getting rid of mine?  I asked if anyone knew what the difference was with this newer model.  It appears you don't know.

The W+ has a touch screen LCD that the Orange does not have. So you can operate the printer completely free of a PC if needed.

Seriously? Can not see the touch screen LCD from the picture, it will be great if it does.

all difference I can see from specification is
1. Different color
2. Support for PTEG/tough PLA. (Although I think people are printing PTEG/tough PLA on orange mini W anyway)
