The best Black Friday 3D printer deals
Looking for a cheap 3D printer? We found tons of deals on both FDM and resin 3D printers over Black Friday – these are the highlights.
We were treated to some super generous Black Friday 3D printer deals this year, but now that the big day has been and gone, what deals are left? There are still a few lingering sales from brands like Anycubic, which is known historically for its big anniversary sales as well as mega Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. We also saw some standout deals from Bambu Lab, and this offer on the A1 Combo printer especially caught my eye as someone wanting to get into multicolour 3D printing.
You might recall that in 2023, I bought my first ever 3D printer, the Anycubic Kobra 2, thanks to a Black Friday deal. And while I didn't upgrade in 2024, I'm excited to see what discounts Black Friday 2025 has in store for some of the best 3D printers, including both FDM and resin models from leading brands like Creality, Elegoo, and Anycubic.
For now, let's look back on all of the top 3D printer Black Friday deals that we were graced with this year, to determine what we might anticipate for the new year, including hopefully some brand new products if we're lucky.

Save $130: The cool thing about the 5M Pro model from FLASHFORGE is that it offers an impressive 1-click printing system combined with 600mm/s of high printing speeds. Ignore Walmart's original price of $1,099 here, as I know that this printer typically sells for $599.
This is still an amazing deal and a great saving, but you're not really saving $630 as Walmart suggests (naughty Walmart).

Black Friday 3D printers: What you need to know
How to get a good deal on a 3D printer
We're going to be tracking the best Black Friday 3D printer deals on this page as they come and go across both the US and UK, whilst linking you directly to savings so you know it's the real deal. We also carry out price history comparisons to decipher if a price is the lowest ever or simply a bluff.
Take some time to think about what kind of 3D printer you need (and what you want to make), that way, you can track and keep tabs on the prices of specific 3D devices and the models that interest you while matching your budget. See our explainer on how much does a 3D printer cost? to get a rough idea of how much you can expect to spend.
Which 3D printer should I buy?
It all depends on your projects and the sort of things you wish to create. Resin 3D printers are great for working with smaller details, but some resins like photopolymer will require light to eventually cure and harden.
FDM (fused deposition modelling) 3D printers have become more popular in recent years, and work by melting and dispensing plastic filament through a hot end and creating layers that sit onto a build plate.
If you're new to 3D printing and want to start small, it might even be a good idea to try one of the best 3D pens first, to get used to handheld crafting and using different filaments, before investing large amounts of money, time (and desk space), into a larger and more powerful 3D printing unit. We also have 10 top tips for 3D printing beginners if you need some guidance.
Popular beginner-friendly printers like the Anycubic Kobra 2 and the speedy AnkerMake M5C have some great deals right now, and we have high hopes for big discounts on the more advanced models like the Formlabs Form 3+, or the MakerBot Replicator+ printers. Creality printers are also an excellent choice, with great savings.
