About 10 years ago, 3D printers were clumsy, expensive machines designed for factories and the needs of large corporations. And only a narrow circle of professionals knew about them. And now these amazing devices are familiar to a wide range of users and are quite accessible for home use. With their help, you can print toys for a child, create prototypes or models of new products, parts and structures, study the creative potential of 3D objects and do many more interesting and useful things.

Introducing 3D printer rating 2017. It involves models in the price range from 270 to 900 dollars, which have earned positive recommendations from experts with 3D Hubs and Pcmag

7.XYZprinting da Vinci Mini

Cost - 270 dollars.

The cheapest 3D printer in our review. It has small dimensions: 35.5 cm × 38 cm × 33 cm (height, width, depth) with a working area of ​​12.7 cm × 12.7 cm × 12.7 cm. The case is open, without any door or window in front; the print zone is mounted on a carriage sliding along the edge of the housing and extending beyond during printing. The extruder nozzle is located behind the extruder mechanism. Therefore, it is difficult to hurt, which protects the user from accidental burns.

The combination of bargain prices, simple setup and decent print quality is enough to make da Vinci Mini a favorite for beginners looking for a cheap and cheerful device.

Advantages:

  • Good print quality.
  • Easy to set up and operate.
  • Quiet.
  • There is a print function via Wi-Fi and USB.

Disadvantages: from time to time there are problems with the start of printing. Sometimes it can be difficult to remove a printed object from the work platform. Prints exclusively with polylactic acid (PLA) filament.

6. New Matter MOD-t 3D Printer

Cost - 400 dollars.

Simple and elegant 3D printer. Its white base is crowned with a removable rectangular hood made of transparent plastic. The dimensions of the working surface are 15 cm × 10 cm × 12 cm.

  • Easy to handle.
  • There is a print function via Wi-Fi and USB.
  • It works very quietly, emitting a barely audible squeak.

Disadvantages: no matter which connection method you use, you will have to work through your library in the New Matter store to start printing. Therefore, the printer requires an active Internet connection. If your Internet connection is often disconnected, MOD-t 3D Printer would not be a good choice.

5. Flashforge Finder 3D Printer

3. Printrbot Simple Metal

Cost - 600 dollars.

Reliable and durable device with a steel frame and aluminum extruder. The size of the work surface is 15 cm × 15 cm × 15 cm. It has an open source architecture and is an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want to set up and upgrade their printer.

Advantages:

  • Open source.

But for beginners, this printer is not the best choice, since the initial setup and calibration process can take several hours. In addition, the printer is very noisy, it does not have platform heating and there is no double extruder.

2. Original Prusa i3 MK2

The price is 700 dollars.

Another fully open source 3D printer. One of the most impressive features of this printer is its very fast desktop heating (it warms up to 55 degrees in 1 minute). And due to the presence of a thin PEI film on the work surface, adhesion is simply fantastic even with a large area of ​​the part.

  • Reliability and durability.
