Not that long ago, a 3D printing hobby wasn't really possible unless you had serious cash to burn. These days, while buying a 3D printer isn't super cheap, there are definitely some affordable options out there, which only become more so during sales like Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days.None of the below deals from brands like AnkerMake, Sovol, and Anycubic are officially tied to Big Deal Days, but some of them are limited to Prime members only. These printers are also all from third-party sellers, with the Bambu deal coming straight from the brand's website.

While we typically only recommend products shipped and sold by Amazon, we found that 3D printers are mainly sold by third-party sellers. We still vetted the seller pages and brands, but as always, we recommend shopping at your own risk with third-party — if something feels way too good to be true, it probably is.With all that said, here are the best 3D printer deals ahead of October Prime Day's official start on Oct. 8.Best 3D printer deal

Why we like itOur friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) deemed the AnkerMate M5C the best budget option for folks looking to get a 3D printer. They were fans of how easy the printer was to use, and how quickly it worked without sacrificing quality. It comes without higher end features like real-time video monitoring or an on-device display, but as Senior Analyst Tony Hoffman writes "it has a generous print area for its price, and the prints we produced were of high quality, even with the default settings in the slicer software." In other words, it's a great buy even at full price, so shaving $100 off the price makes it an even better value 3D printer.More 3D printer dealsAnycubic Kobra 2 Neo — $159.99 $219.99 (save $60)Bambu Lab A1 mini 3D Printer — $199 $299 (save $100)Sovol SV06 — $209 $239 (save $30 with on-page coupon)Anycubic 3D Printer Kobra 2 Pro — $209.99 $428.99 (save $219 with on-page coupon)Flashforge Adventurer 5M — $298.99 $399 (save $100.01)Elegoo Neptune 4 Plus — $349.99 $419.99 (save $70)Anycubic Kobra 2 Max — $429.99 $579.99 (save $150)PROMOTED
