10 Reviews: Best 3D Printers under $1000 (Apr 2024)

Let’s start with the most affordable one. Monoprice 15365 Select Mini 3D Printer V2 is only priced under 200 dollars. This printer is the right choice if you are new to this game. All setup is made easy with a small footprint that is compact enough for any desk. It comes fully assembled so you can start printing right out of the box!

This is a great printer. After a ton of research I settled on this one as my first printer. Leveling the bed is really easy and they include the wrench needed to do it. Once that is done, you just plug it in, load the filament which is also super easy and you’re good to go printing your test print. I haven’t had any issues so far and it has been printing nonstop for the last few weeks.

Creality Ender 3 3D Printer is only slightly different from Monoprice in terms of price. The difference is, you have to assemble 20 nuts to this printer about two hours straight. Apart from space-saving, this device also works efficiently since it only takes five minutes for the hotbed to reach 110℃. No more wasting time just waiting for the temperature to rise.

I have a background in rapid prototyping dating back to the late 90s, I am very impressed with the quality of the printer for the price. You can't find a better printer without paying significantly more. Additionally, there are a lot of affordable upgrades that can be done to greatly improve an already great machine.

You definitely don’t need to spend more than $1000 to give your little one a 3D printer. Not even half! The Toybox Deluxe Bundle is designed to bring fun to your home with an adorable 3D printer so your kids can start making their own toys. The package includes eight preselected Printer Food, an EZ-Peel Bed, 2000+ Digital Toy Catalog, and free Creator Space access. No more children nagging to buy toys.

Our Toybox is over a year old. We've printed some great toys and so far aren't tired of it yet. Although it's not always in use, it definitely doesn't just take up space. I forget how we landed on choosing this printer but we are verrry happy with how well it's held up and the wide selection of pre-designed 3D prints.

Well, let’s move to the bigger machine. Chiron by ANYCUBIC has a huge printing volume namely 400 x 400 x 450mm which allows you to have more space for creativity. It works like a champ, both when dealing with small and large objects. You can choose 0.5kg PLA filament capacity, or 2.5kg if you don’t want to replace it multiple times.

I've had this printer for about 4 weeks and I'm still amazed! The assembly was simple! I used the autolevel function and carefully adjusted the single dots in the distance. That is important! He now prints one component after the other, even smaller ones with top quality!

The fully closed 3D printer is indeed the safest for both beginners and children. This FlashForge Creator Pro is compatible with numerous filaments, such as PLA, ABS, HIPS, PETG, TPE, TPU, and so many more. This machine he a rough and tough workhorse that can keep going when others fail. Ideal for personal or industrial use.

A very affordable 3D printer that is more than capable of what most people or small businesses would want to use it for.

If you often have issues with noisy printers, then this Creality CR-10S Pro V2 is ready with a solution. Thanks to its super-silent motherboard, you can let it work for hours without disturbing the rest of the family at midnight. It features automatic leveling so you don’t have to bother setting it up.

This printer is dope. Seventh printer I've owned and I am appalled by how far technology has come. I am throwing all of my other printers out and buying a few more of these. (This is my second cr10s pro v2)

Take your creation to a more colorful level with this BIBO 3D Printer Dual Extruder. It is capable of printing two-color objects without needing to change the filament during the printing process. This device is also equipped with filament detection which automatically pauses to let you know that it is time to load in a fresh spool. This feature is certainly helpful if you are working on big volume printing objects.

Excellent printer for the price. Using cura base settings I got it setup and running within about 15 minutes. First prints were very good and only improved from there. Nice interface, elegant design. Would highly recommend.

This one is perfect for home use with a great price tag to boot. Dremel Digilab 3D20 can work countless hours to bring your imagination to life with high-quality printing. You can leave it running all night long without worrying about stopping halfway. No more pending projects with this reliable printer.

I'm an architecture student about to transfer to upper division and this printer certainly is my life. Easy and with great quality. It is what I can afford now and honestly I don't think I will need anything else after this one. I love it!

We almost reach our last list and let’s give Flashforge Dreamer 3d Printer praise for all its impressive features. It has a large build volume, a user-friendly menu, and many connectivity options. Flashforge ensures that the machine can be operated easily, especially by beginners by making setup, calibration, and maintenance as easy as pressing a button.

This printer is an outstanding model for the price-point. We use it in an engineering environment and it has yet to disappoint. Minimal set-up and the touchscreen interface is second-to-none.

We will close our list with QIDI 3D X-Plus which comes with a dual extruder, allowing you to do multi-color printing. You are given the freedom to choose whether to install extruder B or not. QIDI is not only superior with its high performance but also with its truly fast and helpful customer service which has been confirmed by thousands of users.

I had to upgrade my printer work area for a project I'm working on so, I bought this one because of the work area size and price point. All I can say is that this printer is excellent! I have printed for 100 hours and the quality is great. I am using Simplify 3D and not the slicer software that came with the printer. I highly recommend this printer!
