Our pick of the best FDM 3D printers of 2026 for every budget: from the affordable Bambu Lab A1 to enclosed CoreXY printers such as the P2S, CORE One+ and Centauri Carbon 2, up to multi-colour machines like the H2D and Snapmaker U1.
Beginner 3D printers that work without tinkering: automatic calibration, easy software and a large community. Ideal as your first printer at home.
Multi-colour printing out of the box: 3D printers with a filament changer (AMS, CFS, ACE) or a tool changer such as the Snapmaker U1 and Bambu Lab H2D.
Good 3D printers under 200 euros: affordable entry-level machines that still level automatically and print fast.
The best 3D printers under 300 euros – this budget already gets you brand-name machines with auto-calibration, a large build volume or a multi-colour option.
3D printers under 500 euros: enclosed CoreXY printers and multi-colour combos at a mid-range price.
3D printers under 1000 euros for advanced users: large build volumes, heated chambers and multi-colour printing for engineering filaments.
