I filtered the early Amazon Prime Day 3D printer deals down to our 4.5-star workshop-tested winners
I found 7 top-performing 3D printers from Elegoo, Creality, Anycubic, and Bambu Lab all on sale right now
Finally - as Prime Day draws closer, Amazon has started offering some 3D printer deals that are actually worth buying. I've tracked down all the top 7 deals on machines that scored 4.5 stars or more in our tests.
The Bambu Lab A1 Mini for $234 (was $259) may not have the biggest discount in the world - but it did earn the full 5 stars and an Editor's Choice award. I still also find the Elegoo Centauri Carbon at $324 (was $360) a compelling choice for those looking for speed and precision at an affordable price.
Last week, I was lamenting the fact that the early Prime Day discounts I usually see were absent. I even rounded up the 12 3D printer deals better than anything you'll find in Amazon's early Prime Day sale. And while not all the Amazon deals here are as cheap as going direct to the maker, they're only out by a few dollars, usually with faster shipping - although you may need to join Prime to get any exclusive deal prices. You can do that by clicking here.
