Amazon Prime Day starts soon, and while I have spotted some 3D printer deals on the site, still nothing comes close to sales prices I'm seeing direct from Bambu Lab, Creality, Elegoo, and Anycubic. I've selected 12 deals here that beat Amazon sale prices hands-down.

Right now, there are three that really stand out if you're a hobbyist or pro. The Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo for $389 (was $449) is a superb multi-filament printer that impressed us during tests. The brilliantly priced Bambu Lab P1S for $399 (was $699). And the newest edition of the Creality K1C for $369 (was $559), which is our expert's favorite all-rounder machine thanks to its specs and print quality.

All 3D printers are also on sale in the UK and in most other territories - I've listed the prices below. And from what I'm seeing, all these deals are cheaper than anything you'll find discounted on Amazon ahead of Prime Day. Because I'm a fair man, though, I've also filtered the early Amazon Prime Day 3D printer deals down to our 4.5-star workshop-tested winners if you want to compare prices.

Recent updates

Update: In my latest update, I've checked prices and stock and seen that Anycubic's US store has dropped some prices even further, while the Elegoo sale ends in less than a day. I've also added the Creality K1C to the line-up.
