I found the best 3D printer deals around direct from Bambu Lab, Creality, Elegoo, and more — and they're way better than anything in Amazon's early Prime Day sale
It seems like all the top 3D printer makers are running sales right now, and they're way bigger and better than Amazon's pre-Prime Day deals
It's official. Amazon's Prime Day is on its way on June 23, with deals already trickling in - but if you're looking for unmissable 3D printers deals ahead of the sales, you won't find on Amazon.
Based on our comprehensive reviews, my top pick for most people would be the excellent Centauri Carbon, which is now $319 (was $420) at Elegoo. Impressive speeds and accuracy for the price make this a great single-filament machine.
But it's not the only 3D printer deal around. Honestly, right now, it feels like every 3D printer site is holding a massive sale on everything from beginner-friendly units to high-end printers for businesses. Where we've tested the models below (and that's most them), you'll also find links to our reviews alongside the deals themselves.

The Creality Hi is a great beginner-friendly machine that in our review we called a "high-quality entry-level 3D printer that packs in features and quality well above its price point." Fast, reliable printing and impressive results, there's a lot I love about this unit. I've listed the Combo deal, but the standalone model is also on sale on the same page.

We haven't reviewed the Bambu Lab P1S, but at this price, I thought it was well worth highlighting. It's a fully enclosed unit that delivers fast prints on a build area measuring 256 × 256 × 256 mm³. A combo deal with the AMS 2 Pro for multi-filament printing is also discounted on the same page.

The Creality K2 Pro is one of those 3D printers that's ideal for hobbyists and small businesses thanks to broader build volume (it's 300×300×300mm) and good speeds (up to 600 mm/s). This is for the combo deal here, which features 16-color multi-material printing, auto-levelling, and dual AI cameras.

The U1 from Snapmaker is an excellent example of a 4-head 3D printer. In our review verdict, we said: "Although not the first multi-head 3D printer, it's certainly the smallest, cheapest and most accessible. Print speeds all around are exceptionally fast," although we ran into a few quirks.

Anycubic's Kobra S1 Max is a large-format, multi-color, fully-enclosed CoreXY 3D printer. The main draw here over the smaller S1 unit is the larger build area, which measures 350×350×350mm. Expect great performance here based on our testing of the Kobra S1.
