Best 3D printers of 2024

We’ve tested over fifty of the best 3D printers – and these are the units our expert review team recommends, whether you’re prototyping products or just printing miniatures and models for fun. 

Our team has personally hand-tested all featured 3D printer units here, comparing printing accuracy and quality, supported filament and resin, build areas, and the whole user experience. Our top 3D printer for most people is the Bambu Lab P1P, a lightning fast and highly accurate model, but the market it growing, and we’ve seen some excellent 3D printers for beginners and those on a budget from Creality, Anycubic, and more. We even tried out all the extra tools like the best laser engravers built-in for the complete crafting experience.
