Elegoo has kicked off an early Black Friday sale running through December 1, cutting prices on its resin and filament 3D printers by up to 54%. Bundle deals pair printers with consumables, such as the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 with 1KG of filament for $270, and the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K with 1KG of resin for $400.
Bambu Lab's new H3C 3D printer features nine hot-swappable 'Swaptek' tools, each with its own built-in nozzle and dedicated filament path, making it the company's fastest multicolor printer yet. It ships with a standard 2.85mm tool for soft TPU filament used in 3D-printed shoes, alongside the option to buy a 1.75mm tool for $59, and will support add-on cutting, drawing, embossing, and foil-transfer tools in the future.
Best Buy is selling the Bambu Lab P1S 3D printer bundled with its AMS color-printing module for $479.99, down $70 from the usual $549.99 price. The enclosed printer supports high-speed printing up to 20,000 mm/s² acceleration and a 256 x 256 x 256 mm build volume, while the AMS unit enables multicolor printing with up to four colors, expandable to 16 with additional units.
Creality, Elegoo, Bambu Lab, Anycubic and Prusa are running discounts on 3D printers this weekend, with the Bambu Lab A1 Mini falling to $199 and the Creality Ender 3 V3 to $239. Pricier models are also discounted, including the Bambu Lab H2D at $1,399 and the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 at $319, alongside deals on resin, filament and accessories.
Bambu Lab has officially teased its H3C tool-changer 3D printer, confirming a launch date of November 3. The machine uses a Vortex-style rack mounted on the front of the chamber holding nine tools, and a short teaser video shows the rack dropping down with tool heads stored above the build plate.
A research concept describes a millimeter-scale silicon-photonics chip placed at the bottom of a resin-filled well, projecting programmable visible-light holograms upward to selectively cure liquid resin into a solid 3D object. The design would replace mechanical build platforms and laser-scanning systems used in conventional 3D printers, and relies on resin formulated to cure at visible wavelengths rather than standard UV.
Anycubic's Kobra X Multicolor 3D printer is now available for $299.99 through Amazon's Anycubic store, a $60 discount off its $359 MSRP and the lowest price the printer has reached since launching earlier this year. The deal is available for Prime members for a limited time.
Formlabs has released the Form Studio 1, a new SLA resin 3D printer priced at $699, marking the company's first product aimed at home users rather than professional businesses like dental offices or assembly shops. The printer uses stereolithography resin, compatible with both Formlabs-branded and third-party materials, with individual resin bottles starting at $29. A separate wash unit to clean finished prints costs $199.
During the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event, a range of 3D printer maintenance tools received discounts, including a 74-piece Creality toolkit now priced at $25.71, down from $37.99. Other tools like flush cutters and hex keys are also featured with notable savings, catering to hobbyists and professionals alike.
Elegoo is offering its Saturn 4 Ultra 16K resin 3D printer for $399, down from $649.99, as part of a limited-time Elegoo Day promotion. The printer features a 16K, 11,520 x 5,120 resolution LCD screen, an integrated vat heater, upgraded Wi-Fi, auto-bed leveling, and a built-in camera for monitoring prints.
A hands-on review of Bambu Lab's new P2S 3D printer finds it builds on the P1S and A1 with an enclosed chamber and an airflow system that switches between cooling PLA prints and retaining heat for tougher filaments like ASA and ABS. The reviewer notes that despite this design, fumes from ASA prints leaked around the door and seams rather than being fully filtered through the built-in carbon filter, requiring extra ventilation.
Bambu Lab is discounting its P1S 3D printer to $349, a $50 cut from its previous $399 price and a new all-time low for the model. The enclosed, beginner-friendly printer ships semi-assembled, sets up in about 15 minutes, and includes automatic bed leveling, a built-in camera, and an LCD control panel.
