We absolutely loved the MK4S 3D printer and gave it a perfect score in our review. The MK4S has a build plate size of 250 x 210 x 220 mm, a PEI spring steel flex plate, automatic bed leveling, and a color touchscreen interface. You can also get the kit (unassembled model) for $709.

Also available on Amazon.

Grab the same Bambu Lab P1S 3D printer as above, but with an AMS included. With AMS stock limited on Bambu Lab's website until August, this might be a good way to get both without waiting for stock to improve.

A great refresh of the P1S, with a better nozzle, screen, camera, and improved cooling system. This is the new standard to which other 3D printers will be measured.

A budget Core XY 3D printer that prints fast and without compromising on quality. I love this printer and it works extremely well for all of my ideas and projects.

The Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Max produces high-quality prints in just a fraction of the time it takes other machines. You can print entire armies of gaming miniatures or full-sized sculptures with excellent detail using ordinary resin. If you want to crank up the speed, switching to a thinner high-speed resin will let the machine run twice as fast.

The massive 298 x 164 x 300mm build volume is incredible for a resin (SLA) 3D printer, and the print speed is exceptional. If you need large, precise 3D prints, the Anycubic Photon Mono M7 is what you need.

A 320 x 320 x 385 mm build volume with up to 500 mm/s print speeds, a 300 °C high-temperature nozzle, and automatic print bed leveling. Includes Wi-Fi/WLAN/USB transfer for importing prints.

Very close in specifications to the Neptune 4 Pro, sharing the 225 x 225 x 266 mm build volume and 500 mm/s max print speeds. Use USB or LAN to transfer your prints to the printer.

We loved the excellent 9K resolution as it brought crisp details to prints, making it ideal for gaming miniatures. As with many resin 3D printers, the small build volume is a downside, but these printers are made for detail, not large functional parts.

See our review of the Mars 5 Ultra 3D Resin printer.

Elegoo's top-tier Resin printer with a staggeringly detailed 16K print resolution for amazing, detailed prints. Comes complete with auto-bed leveling and tilt-release for easy print removal. There's even a camera for watching your prints take shape, with time-lapse stills.

If you want to start 3D printing or need a second machine for detailed models, a resin 3D printer is a good buy. Elegoo's Mars 4 is a compact and easy-to-use resin 3D printer. With a 4K resolution, your prints will be crisp, and a layer cure time of 2.5 seconds means you won't be left waiting. When compared to FDM printers, the build volume is small at 143 x 89 x 175 mm.

The Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra can make eye-popping 12K prints. Lots of tilting with a tilting resin vat and a tilting hood for easy access. Print fast whilst keeping an eye on your progress with a print monitoring camera that can also shoot time lapses.

The software is easy to use and allows you to start your projects right away. Paired with the optional fume extractor and rotary engraver, the Vision provides everything needed to create custom laser-engraved products.

PLA is a great filament, but there are times when you need something stronger. PETG is easy to print, but has great strength. It can be used with open frame and closed frame printers. I use PETG with my Elegoo Centauri Carbon and it has been flawless. Now I print many functional parts for my office with this great filament.

The Raspberry Gold Quantum PLA filament is compatible with any FDM 3D printer. In your slicer, set the hotend to 225 °C, and the bed temperature to 50 °C, and you'll get a beautiful stream of pliable PLA adhering to your build plate. A few layers in, and you'll see a beautiful object rise from the build plate.

PLA Plus is a stronger version of PLA. While not as tough as PETG, PLA Plus is stronger than, and prints using the same profile as PLA. We've used PLA Plus in a number of projects and found Elegoo's to be perfect for strong, functional prints.

This two-pack is ideal for makers who want to stock up on filament to feed their latest 3D printer purchase.

Prices start from $16! Check the colors for the exact price.

These are 1KG spools of printer filament with a 1.75mm filament diameter. PLA+ is less brittle than standard PLA, so it should improve your prints' toughness and layer adherence when creating.

Filament that has absorbed moisture just makes for a horrible printing experience. TPU and PETG become a mess on the print bed. Using this filament dryer will keep your filament dry, and it is ready to use via the feeder tube on the lid. Pop the spools in the dryer, set the timer and temperature, and your filament will be dehydrated and ready to print your next project.

Available in a rainbow of colors, Overture's PLA Plus is a good compromise of PETG's strength, and the ease of printing that PLA affords.

1KG spool of printer filament has a 1.75mm filament diameter. This material works well with most FDM printers. Great quality, clog-free design and comes in over 40 colors.

This resin from Elegoo is water-washable, making the finishing process much easier to complete. This discount applies to multiple colors but not all of them.

This photopolymer resin is designed to reduce printing time and to reduce volume shrinkage during the curing process to ensure a smooth finish. Suitable for most DLP/LCD 3D printers. Less odor than other resins.

Almost all 3D prints require some level of cleanup or processing. Printing with a brim or setting the Z offset too low introduces a sharp edge to your prints.
Using a deburring tool is the smart way to remove sharp edges and burrs from your prints. Don't use a knife, you will leave a nasty gash in the plastic and, probably your fingers!

Tackle a blocked nozzle from another angle with the Creality Clog Poke. Instead of pushing into the nozzle, remove the PTFE tube and push this clog poke into the throat of the extruder, forcing molten plastic out of the nozzle.
