Best 3D Printers 2023
1. Sindoh 3DWOX 1
Specifications
-Print technology Fused Filament Fabrication
-Minimum / Maximum layer resolution
-Build Area 210 x 200 x 195 mm
-Filament Diameter 1.75 mm
-Dimensions 421 × 433 × 439 mm
Best overall. The massive 3D printer has a spacious print area to offer, with which you can print even larger objects up to 21 x 20 x 19 cm. The print quality is good, as long as the objects are not extremely delicate. The manufacturer offers suitable filaments in cartridges, which simply need to be inserted into the device. However, the use of other filaments is also possible. In operation, the device is not very noisy. A HEPA filter prevents the escape of particles.
Pros
+ Spacious print bed for objects
+ Clean print result
+ Relatively quiet at a pressure (40 dB)
+ Three different connection types
Cons
- Moderate results with very fine elements
2. Ultimaker S3
Specifications
-Print technology Fused Deposition Modeling
-Build Area 230 x 190 x 200 mm
-Filament Diameter 2.85 mm
-Dimensions 394 x 489 x 637 mm
Best for high precision printing. Ultimaker S3 is one of the more expensive ready-made devices on the market. But the Ultimaker also lives up to its name: With an enormous printing precision and an extremely filigree minimum layer thickness of 0.02 mm, the device is the best choice for those who want to produce very delicate objects.
Pros
+ Impeccable printing precision
+ Automatic calibration of the pressure bed
+ Very good layer thickness (0.02 mm)
+ Print without a computer
Cons
- Very expensive
- Expensive consumables
3. Creality Ender 3 V2
Specifications
-Print technology Fused Deposition Modeling
-Build Area 220x220x250mm
-Filament Diameter 1.75 mm
-Dimensions 475x470x620 mm
Best value. Creality sets a new standard in the field of low-cost 3D printers. The Ender 3 V2 is like the Ender 3, but with up-to-date hardware, such as a 32-bit motherboard and quiet stepper motor drivers, with a much tidier look and design as well as a lot of other small extras.
Pros
+ Lots of features that make life easier
+ Decent print quality without much effort
+ Quiet
Cons
- Poor filament supply
4. Creality Ender 5 Pro
Specifications
-Print technology Fused Deposition Modeling
-Build Area 220x220x300 mm
-Filament Diameter 1.75 mm
-Dimensions 552x485x510 mm
Best entry level printer. The device must be screwed together before it starts. The instructions are very extensive. Once assembled, a solid print quality awaits you here. However, the printing process takes a very long time. Prints can be continued seamlessly during interruptions (for example, in the event of a power failure).
Pros
+ Solid print quality
+ Prints can be continued after interruptions
+ Good value for money
Cons
- Slow printing speed
- Printing bed not very stable
5. FlashForge Finder
Specifications
-Print technology Fused Filament Fabrication
-Build Area 140 x 140 x 140 mm
-Filament Diameter 1.75 mm
-Dimensions 420 x 420 x 420 mm
Best compact printer. Visually very appealing, space-saving and compact. Also interesting in terms of price, especially considering the fact that it is not a 3D printer kit, but a ready-made model. A real plug-and-play device. Above-average results are achieved in the categories of cost, ergonomics and print quality.
Pros
+ Good print quality
+ Automatic bench calibration function
+ Touch Display
Cons
- No heated printing plate
- Limited printing space
6. Dremel DigiLab 3D45
Specifications
-Print technology Fused Deposition Modeling
-Build Area 255x155x170mm
-Filament Diameter 1.75 mm
-Dimensions 645x406x404mm
Best for beginners. Dremel DigiLab 3D45 is comparatively easy-to-use 3D printer that also meets high quality standards. All this without the user having to have experience, craft skills or previous knowledge of 3D printing technology.
Pros
+ Integrated camera and WLAN for remote control
+ Good printing speed
+ Quickly ready for printing
+ Large material selection
Cons
- Very large and heavy
- Weaknesses in printing holes and columns
7. Monoprice MP Select Mini V2
Specifications
-Print technology Fused Filament Fabrication
-Build Area 120 x 120 x 120 mm
-Filament Diameter 1.75 mm
-Dimensions 343 x 287 x 190 mm
Best budget printer. The comparatively cheap 3D printer is delivered fully assembled and pre-adjusted, so it can be put into operation directly. With PLA, the print results are also very neat, but you should familiarize yourself with the Start G-code to implement the templates perfectly.
Pros
+ Good PLA printing results
+ Inexpensive
+ Compact dimensions
+ Moderate power consumption
Cons
- Bad results with ABS
- Open pressure chamber
8. Dremel DigiLab 3D40 FLEX
Specifications
-Print technology Fused Deposition Modeling
-Build Area 254 x 152 x 170 mm
-Filament Diameter 1.75 mm
-Dimensions 515 x 394 x 406 mm
Best ready-made system. The Dremel DigiLab 3D40 FLEX is a closed 3D printer that offers enough storage space for a number of models thanks to 4 GB of internal memory. The printer deserves the name "Flex" due to the flexible, removable printing table – so you can easily detach a finished model from the printing table.
Pros
+ 4 GB memory for many model templates
+ Complete system without assembly
+ Flexible printing table
+ Touch Display
Cons
- Displayed waiting time very inaccurate
9. FlashForge Adventurer 3

-Build Area 330 x 240 x 300 mm
-Filament Diameter 2.85 mm
-Dimensions 495 x 585 x 780 mm
Best if the money is not an object. The Ultimaker S5, impresses above all with its huge interior volume.

And as expensive as the printer is, so perfect are the results.
Pros
+ Best print quality
+ Dual extruder for two different materials
+ Huge pressure volume of 24 L
+ Operation via touchscreen
Cons
- Extremely expensive
- Slow printing
