It's not quite Prime Day yet, but 3D printer deals are heating up

Bambu Lab has a 3-year anniversary sale launching today, and a very generous price cut on its flagship model, the X1C, for only $999. If you don't see this price right now, it's because the sale kicks off at 10:00 AM (EDT), so keep checking back.

This printer is capable of multicolour and multimaterial printing when combined with an AMS (automated material system) unit - sold separately. I recently reviewed this 3D printer, and it's without a doubt the best one I've ever used.

This new Core XY 3D printer from Anycubic is something of a first, offering smart multi-colour printing (up to 8 colours) with the help of an attachment called the ACE Pro, which doubles as a filament dryer.

I recently reviewed this printer, and while I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with it, the similarities to the Bambu Lab X1C (above) make it hard to overlook for the price.

This exclusive Prime deal knocks $60 off the ELEGOO Neptune 4 Pro, which is a great warm-up Prime deal for anyone after a high-speed FDM 3D printer for under $300. This model boasts print speeds of 500mm/s, and it also has auto levelling features, which is great for beginners.

This is NOT the lowest price we've seen on this model, as last year during Prime, it dropped to $269.99 at Amazon. While the deal above is decent, maybe wait until closer to Prime Day to see if this falls any lower (don't worry - we'll be tracking it too).

I can't believe that this flagship printer from Bambu Lab is at its LOWEST PRICE EVER.

Just recently, I'd reported on a deal that I'd found for the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon model (no AMS) for only £999 – which is an excellent deal – but THIS mega saving on the X1C Combo (with the AMS) not only knocks off £390, but works out at only £50 dearer than buying the X1C printer on it's own with no AMS.

This 3D printer is a top choice for professionals, as well as hobbyists (with a larger budget) and complete beginners. It's accessible and easy to use for everyone, but it certainly isn't a cheap entry-level printer.

I own two of these 3D printers from Anycubic, and while I've grown to love it, the Kobra S1 Combo takes a bit of work to get used to the mechanics. You will get error messages quite frequently, but it pays to understand this printer and how it operates.

It's still worth the purchase in my opinion (especially at this price), but don't say that I didn't warn you.

This is another all-time low price from Bambu Lab on one of its most popular budget-friendly models. Previously, the lowest we had ever seen this printer fall to was £419 just a few weeks ago, but this new offer knocks £150 off an already-affordable printer.

It has a generous build Volume of 256x256x256mm, can offer multicolour printing for those who don't need the bigger and bulkier Core XY units, and can reach printing speeds of up to 500mm/s(Max).
