Prime Day is only a few weeks away now, and while I'm starting to see more 3D printer deals discounted on Amazon, I still think the best savings you can get right now are direct from the likes of Bambu Lab, Creality, Elegoo, and Anycubic. I've picked out the 12 top deals right here.

For my money, the Centauri Carbon, now $319 (was $420) at Elegoo feels like a steal. This single-filament printer seriously impressed us for its speed and accuracy when we tested it out, and is an easy recommendation. It's also on sale in the UK for £239.

Some of my favorite alternatives that are also on sale in the US and UK include the brilliant multi-filament Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo for $389 (was $449), while the Bambu Lab P1S for $399 (was $699) has one of the steepest price cuts I've seen yet. Check out the best deals. Where we've tested the models below (and that's most them), you'll also find links to our reviews.
