Best 3D Printers Of 2023

Our list of the best 3D printers contains clear and concise information on all kinds of 3D printers. (Image credit: Future)

The best 3D printers have become more affordable, and the 3D printer market is growing at an explosive rate, with new brands and styles of printing making an appearance each year. Where many 3D printers used to be huge, expensive machines, developments in technology and production now mean that many of the best options you can buy are increasingly affordable and can sit on a desk in your home without needing workshop space.

Naturally, this means there's now a massive choice of 3D printers that cater to all sorts of user needs and budgets. While this choice is excellent, picking the best 3D printer for your specific needs can be difficult. However, this guide can help, as we pick some brilliant 3D printers for all uses and budgets, with clear buying advice to help you determine which one you should buy.

Printing hardware has taken off in recent years, so while a handful of filament printers (otherwise known as FDM printers) were all that was once available, there's now a wide variety of different styles to suit your needs across a range of budgets.

Unlike office-style printers that just print ink onto paper, 3D printers turn digital models into real-world objects made from plastic, metal, and wood. FDM printers now come in all shapes and sizes and are well-suited to prototyping and crafting larger objects. At the same time, resin-based (SLA, MSLA, and DLP) allow for much greater detail, typically at a smaller scale, making them a fantastic buy for anyone looking to design jewelry or create tabletop miniatures.

You can use 3D printers to build complete products, make spare parts, or simply create things you’ll find helpful for your home, office, and workshop. And, since 3D printing technology is within the grasp of just about anyone, you don’t have to utilize one to your advantage.

Whether you’re just getting your feet wet or are an expert, here are the best 3D printers ranges to consider. We've compared these printers across size, functionality, and use case, so there should be something for you, whatever it is you’re looking for. We also looked at their print resolution, build platform, filament type, and pricing.

Remember that the more expensive choices are better suited for professionals, while the best cheap 3D printers are ideal for those just starting.

This elegant delta design should get your attention if you’re looking for a professional 3D printer for fairly large and complex projects. It uses FDM technology to build 3D models from rolls of filament. Still, instead of the more common cartesian printers, the TRILAB DeltiQ 2 has a fixed round build plate with the extruder suspended between three arms that move the print head along three axes. It gives this model a fairly small footprint, while its high tower design ensures it can print some quite large pieces.

And unlike most 3D printers, it has two extruder options, one for standard PLA and PETG and the other for flexibles. It just requires a little retooling to swap between them. The TRILAB DeltiQ 2 uses some of the best components available in its construction, and the interface is a smartphone running a dedicated app. This handsome, high-end workshop printer would sit well in any laboratory, studio or classroom.

Rapid printing

Great build quality

Reasons to avoid

High maintenance

Limited build volume

Prusa Research revolutionized the FDM 3D printer market, and this model looks set to do the same for SLA printers. While this printer uses stereolithography technology, it's a slight variant known as MSLA.

This uses a monochrome LCD and UV LED to expose the resin, which is cheaper than precision lasers but just as accurate. The SL1S SPEED replaces the outgoing SL1, and as you might have guessed from that model name, it’s faster – around ten times faster and with a vastly improved print quality.

The SL1S's design hasn't physically changed a great deal over the SL1. It features the same touchscreen LCD on the front, which is again good and responsive.

The speedy new model looks set to lead the SLA market with support from the excellent PrusaSlicer software and a huge open-source community.

The Anycubic Photon M3 is the ideal entry-level resin printer to introduce you to 3D printing. It’s relatively easy to set up and operate, and the box includes everything you need to get started except for the UV resin. This compact model will fit easily on your desk in a well-ventilated room, though the build volume is somewhat limited at 180 x 163.9 x 102.4mm or 7 x 6.5 x 4-inches.

This modest machine can turn out surprisingly detailed models for printing small plastic parts or artistic pieces. The interface is a 7.6-inch panel, and the software will help you print your project and slice it. If you want to make larger models, you should consider one of Anycubic’s larger 3D printers, but this is a great place to start for $299 (about £275 / AU$480).

Very noisy when printing

A true 3-in-1 machine makes sense because 3D printers, CNC, and Laser cutters all use the same basic mechanics and technology. The original Snapmaker has a dedicated following, so it is no surprise that Snapmaker 2.0 builds on its predecessor's reputation and features.

The SnapMaker boasts excellent build quality and comes with clear assembly instructions. The assembly takes around 20 minutes. There's a 5-inch (720x1280px) touchscreen on the machine that can be used to select options, preview models, calibrate and open stored files. The touch screen is a powerful addition to the usability of the machine — it runs on Android OS and features a Quad-Core A7 CPU @1.1GHz.

The A350 is the largest of three models and proves proficient in all disciplines. Swapping between the three heads and beds does take time to reconfigure and calibrate, but for the price and features, it's worth it.

What is a 3D printer?

A 3D printer is a machine that creates three-dimensional objects using computer-created designs (like a digital 3D or CAD model).

These machines rely on an additive manufacturing process to build objects layer by layer.

How to choose the best 3D printers for you?

To select the best 3D printer, you'll need to consider what you're going to do with it. If you're going to be printing small objects, then a small-size printer is apt, but a large printer is naturally the best option for bigger creations.

For printing high-quality objects with fine details, you'll need a high resolution printer, but these prints will cost more and take more time to get ready.

Look out for the printer's interface and the overall ease of use, along with other aspects like the kind of software it uses, the type of filament, build platform, and pricing.

The best 3D printers: How we test

3D printers are tested using a collection of bespoke benchmarks that help show the strengths and weaknesses of each model that, after time, can be compared against other products. These will differ depending on printer type, but a filament printer will be tested for stringing, bridging, and speed, as well as additional commentary on detail, achieved, and noise levels.

This will be done fairly, with dues given to different materials and printer types, with resin printers being subject to smaller, more detailed models to replace the stringing test. Design, price, and performance will also be explored as sections within the reviews.

All our tests are conducted from the perspective of the printers target market where possible, so expect to see a lot of tabletop miniatures and figurines alongside the usual 'benches' (test models that are also dubbed as 'torture tests' to see where a printer needs to be better optimized for future prints).

TechRadar Verdict

We've seen Creality release suped-up versions of their existing 3D printers before, and each time we've seen a big performance upgrade. The Ender-5 S1 is true to form, and while the basic set-up might look much the same as the Ender-5, there's been a complete overhaul of the control board and hotend. The result is an impressive step up in speed and print quality. The price still pits this at the mid-range; however, the quality of the prints is comparable with printers many times more expensive.

Intro

Creatlity's S1 machines are the suped-up versions of their standard 3D printers. While the frame and design remain much the same, styled along the Cartesian make-up, the parts that matter, such as the main board and tool head, have all been upgraded. As you check over the machine, you realize that multiple other tweaks have also been made, resulting in this being a very different machine from the standard version. That difference is also reflected in the price tag, with the S1 costing nearly double that of the standard.

Once assembled, which is a smooth and easy-to-follow process, you realize that the enhancements that have been made upgrade the Ender-5 from an entry-level machine into something with real potential.

Creality Ender-5 S1 at GeekBuying for $89.99

The upgraded machine is excellent, but what peaks interest is the ability to upgrade the machine further with the inclusion of an optional enclosure and compatibility with the Creality Sonic Pad (available soon).

Sonic Pad is essentially a 3D print tablet that upgrades a machine's firmware and operates a visual interface for the machine. The sonic Pad not only upgrades the user experience but also improves performance.

At first, the Creality Ender-5 S1 might look like a tuned Ender-5, but it's a completely different beast.

Design

Firmly placed as a Cartesian machine, the Creality Ender-5 S1 differs from many standard 3D printers by having a print head that moves along the X and Y axis and a print bed that raises on the Z axis.

The design of these printers is a little more complex and does, of course, mean that with the square box design, the machines look far larger than standard Cartesian printers.

However, when it comes to size, the footprint is smaller than some printers with this size of build platform due to all the moving parts being contained within the size of the printer rather than having a build plate that slides back and forth.

(Image credit: Future)

When the Creality Ender-5 S1 arrives, it does require a little assembly, but with a clear set of instructions, the whole machine can be built in around 10-20 minutes. There's nothing intricate to assemble, and the main bulk of the construction has already been done for you; you need to bolt in the uprights, install the tool head and then wire everything in. At each step, the instructions are clear, and for the most part, it's impossible to plug any of the wires into the wrong place. Even with no prior experience, there should be nothing here to challenge a complete novice.

As you go through the construction process, the real differences between this and the standard Ender-5 become apparent. The base is all-inclusive, with the main board and LCD touch screen nicely contained, and the tool head that incorporates both the hot and extruder is in another league, being direct drive rather than Bowden.

(Image credit: Future)

Once the machine is constructed, the filament reel can be popped on the side and fed through the system. A filament run-out sensor is included as standard, which is nice to see, and this is where the filament journey starts as it is fed through the system. From the filament run-out sensor to the top of the direct drive hot end is a connected Teflon tube that guides the filament through the system. While the new tool head is far more advanced, there's still no automatic feed for the filament through the system, so there's a little manual feeding of filament to get it started.

(Image credit: Future)

This part of the printing process is slightly primitive compared with everything else about the printer. Unlike other printers of this quality, there's usually a load filament feature that automatically pulls the filament through. Here, you need to preheat the filament, PLA or ABS, then activate the extruder motor to feed the filament through the hotend until it drips out.

(Image credit: Future)

With the filament loaded, you can then follow the bed leveling process. The bed leveling utilizes the same process as the Ender-3 S1 Pro. This takes you through the leveling process of z-axis offset, then manual leveling, and finally, auto leveling. As I've seen with other Creality printers, the auto bed leveling is about the best I've come across.

Features

The cubed design of the Ender-5 S1 creates an incredibly solid printer that creates an ideal environment for the accurate printing of models. The print area of the S1 is slightly smaller than the standard model, not that you would notice, with 20mm less on the height to accommodate the new all-in-one hotend and extruder design. This gives a modeling dimension of 220x220x280mm, which is pretty decent for most projects.

Once again, the heated bed features a magnetic spring steel sheet that's slightly textured. What's nice about the design of the sheet is that two alignment cuts outs ensure the sheet sits snuggly on the bed.

(Image credit: Future)

All functions and features are set through the LCD touchscreen interface, including the bed leveling. The process is extremely smooth, with the manual height adjustment made possible by four large wheels under each corner.

Before each print, the auto leveling double-checks the platform height with the CR Touch sensor fitted to the tool head's side.

(Image credit: Future)

Creality has stuck with the standard 0.4mm nozzle, which can be swapped out for other nozzle sizes and replacements if needed. What's impressive is the new control board and motors enable a typical print speed of 120mm/s with the standard nozzle fitted. Checking through the settings, this can be pushed to 250mm/s.

One feature that appeals is the use of the direct drive extruder and tool head; this has the advantage of enabling compatibility with a huge variety of filaments from PLA to flex. To maximize the material compatibility, the nozzle temperature can reach up to 300ºC and the heated bed 110ºC.

There's also the option to add an enclosure if you frequently print with more advanced materials such as ABS and Nylon. Creality has also confirmed that it will be compatible with the Creality Sonic Pad.

Performance

On the first run watching the first layer being printed, a small amount of fine-tuning was needed on the Z-axis. This was easily controlled through the touch screen LCD. Once the first layer height is correct, the printer is set to go, and then it's over to the touch sensor to ensure the height is correct.

(Image credit: Future)

Starting with the usual test prints, 3DBenchy, and other test models, they all rattled off the build plate at speed. The printer's solid build minimizes shake and vibration, which is apparent in the quality of the prints. The model's overall appearance at all default settings is excellent and shows a fine filament extrusion. At the finer layer heights, the layers are visible but show how good this printer is.

Printing at the typical 120mm/s and the print quality was superb, and as the layer height increases, this can be pushed to quickly fire out prints at a rate, although the quality does suffer, although the filament flow remains good.

Bridging - score of 5

XY resonance - score of 2.5

Z-axis alignment - score of 2.5

Adding up the totals gives a final score of 25.5 out of 30.

Verdict

There's no doubt the Creality Ender-5 S1 is a big step up from the Ender-5. This is a completely overhauled machine with so many additions that help dramatically boost the printer's performance.

From the outset, the machine is impressive, and while the initial build takes a little longer than the single vertical upright design seen on the Ender-3, the four columns help create a rock-steady base for the printer. What I also like about the design is that everything is contained, from the electronics to the print platform staying within the perimeter of the printer. It also features two handy carry handles, making it incredibly easy to move around the workshop when needed.

(Image credit: Future)

Ultimately the new control board and tool head leap this printer forward; add in the potential of the addition of the Sonic Pad in the near future and wrap it in a case, and you have a printer that is hard to beat.

For keen enthusiasts, modelers, product designers, and anyone who what's top-of-the-range quality from a mid-range priced machine, the Ender-5 S1 won't fail to impress.

3D Printer Manufacturers: Quality 3D Printers

3D Printer Manufacturers

If you are interested in 3D printing and want to buy your own 3D printer, you might be wondering which 3D printer manufacturers are out there. In this article, we will try to answer this question in as much detail as possible and list the existing manufacturers.

Of course, it makes no sense to talk about all the developers, because there are a lot of them. Manufacturers of 3D printers today are divided not only by the type of technology used by their devices, but also by the class of devices. nine0005

In general, all 3D printer manufacturers can be divided into three groups:

Professionals. They produce the highest quality equipment, including industrial ones. The cost of their goods, respectively, is significantly higher than the average market prices, but the buyer pays not only for the brand, but also for reliability;
Middle segment. The vast majority of 3D printer manufacturers fall into this category. These are companies that have already established themselves in the market, but have not yet reached a certain point. It produces good quality products at an affordable price; nine0012
Start-up producers. Basically, these are young enthusiastic developers who are eager to bring their product into circulation. It is possible that their products can be quite good, but often such 3D printers are very raw and unfinished.

Other questions and answers about 3D printers and 3D printing:

Quality 3D printer

Of course, if you want to buy your own device for 3D printing, you want to buy the highest quality 3D printer. But what if all the manufacturers of 3D printers are touting their products? How to decide? Let's figure it out. nine0005

First of all, you should trust only proven equipment developers. See which 3D printer manufacturers have been on the market for a long time and what they offer.

Secondly, analyze the proposed options. Compare prices and features of 3D printers, see reviews. It is also a good option to get professional advice from distributors. For example, in 3DDevice you will always be helped to make a choice.

Popular 3D printers

In order to bring some clarity and help you make your choice, it is worth mentioning the most popular 3D printers. Well-known 3D printer manufacturers such as Stratasys, 3D Systems, MakerBot, Formlabs, CreatBot, Ultimaker offer good options and the market is flooded with their products. The advantage of choosing a popular 3D printer is its ease of use. After all, there is probably a training video or a review on the desired model on the network. nine0005

Of course, when choosing a 3D printer, you should not focus solely on the manufacturer. There are many selection criteria to consider. However, 3D printer manufacturers are not the last factor to consider.

TECHNOLOGIES

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a term to describe a set of technologies that create 3D objects by adding material layer by layer. Materials may vary from technology to technology. But there are some common features for all additive manufacturing, such as the use of a computer along with special 3D modeling software. The first thing to do to start this process is to create a CAD sketch. The AM device then reads the data from the CAD file and creates the structure layer by layer from the printed material, which can be plastic, liquid, flux-cored filaments, or even a sheet of paper. nine0089

XYZprinting SLA printer

SLA technology produces smooth surfaces and fine details.

Package body

Jewelery

SLA 3D printers are widely used by jewelers to make burnout models.

Functional prototypes

Prefabricated products - this is the calling of SLA technology in prototyping.

Stereolithography is a 3D printing technique that can be used for your 3D printing projects. Although this method is the oldest in the history of 3D printing, it is still in use today. The idea and application of this method is amazing. Whether you're a mechanical engineer who needs to check if a part fits your design, or a creative person who wants to create a plastic prototype for a new future project, stereolithography can help you turn your models into a real 3D printed object. nine0089

DLP 3D printers, like SLA, work with photopolymers. But what makes SLA and DLP processes different is the different type of light source. For fans of DLP 3D, more traditional light sources such as arc lamps are commonly used. Another important part of the process is the liquid crystal display panel, which illuminates the entire printable area at once. Therefore, DLP 3D printers print faster than SLA 3D printers. The material used for printing is liquid plastic resin, which is placed in a transparent resin container. The resin hardens quickly when exposed to light. The print speed is pretty impressive. A layer of cured material can be created with such a printer in seconds. When a layer is finished, it moves up and work begins on the next layer. nine0089
