10 Reviews: Best 3D Printer for Helmets (Sep 2023)

Artillery Sidewinder SW-X2 3D Printer is one of the 3D printers with such advanced features. Besides, it adopts an intelligent automatic bed leveling design that can adjust the hot bed before printing. Moreover, it has a maximum printing speed of 150 mm/s to realize high-efficiency printing.

Also, it can be heated up to 110°C within 2 minutes. Also, the presence of a 32-bit silent motherboard and exclusive ultra-silent stepper drivers effectively reduce the working noise and achieve a low-decibel printing mode. Overall, this is a functional 3D printer for printing helmets attractively and ideally.

"I picked this over the more popular ender 3 because I saw a review for it on YouTube, it's size, and features made me dish out the slightly higher price. And I'm just really glad I did. This thing is as easy as it can be. Just make sure you level the bed before you do anything."

If you wish for more features than our first and second recommendations, the Dremel DigiLab 3D45-01 3D Printer with Filament offers features that will blow your mind. However, it is more expensive than the previous one. In addition, this printer is ECO-ABS, Nylon, PETG, and PLA filament friendly, the all-metal one can heat up to 280°C, and the removable glass plate heats up to 100°C. Thus, you can print almost any 1.75mm filament with ease.

Also, a 4.5-inch full-color touchscreen has a setup process that will take you from unboxing to printing in just a few minutes. Besides, the built-in RFID reader detects the 1.75mm filament you place inside and automatically selects your best print settings.

"Very easy to use and excellent print quality. So far I have done about 50 hours or printing, mostly with Dremel ECO-ABS filament. The cloud print software is easy to use."
