We've had some great experiences testing out Creality's range of 3D printers - from beginner-friendly units to machines for large-scale printing projects. So, I was excited to see that plenty of them have been discounted over at Amazon right now. Based on our workshop testing, I've selected the four that are absolutely worth checking out.
For beginners, check out the Creality Ender 3 V3 SE for
For an exceptional mid-range pick, the Creality K2 Pro is now
You want a beginner-friendly 3D printer under $200. This is one of the most affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use machines that's ever undergone our workshop tests.
You're looking to upgrade from a basic 3D printer without spending more than $400. It's our 3D printing expert's favorite 3D printer, and can handle more materials.
You're a hobbyist looking for a mid-range all-rounder that hits the sweet spot in terms of speed and accuracy for serious everyday projects.
You need a large build area for ambitious printing projects like cosplay accessories.
Still one of the best 3D printers for beginners - especially at this price. We awarded the Creality Ender 3 V3 SE an impressive 4.5 stars after tests, and it stands out to many cheaper units due to the high print quality.
We scored the Creality Ender 3 V3 SE 4.5 stars in our review, with a Highly Recommended award - it's a great 3D printer for beginners at a price that's very accessible. It's almost as cheap as it was over Black Friday, where it sold for $174.
The catch? With its open-frame design, it's not as fast as others and it lacks features like a built-in camera and touchscreen.
In our tests, we praised the Creality K1C's "all-star specification that will appeal to all levels of users, from education to business to dedicated 3D printing enthusiasts." Amazing budget all-rounder here.
The Creality K1C is our 3D printing expert's favorite machine - it's not an ultra high-end unit, but during our tests it performed brilliantly for a relatively budget machine, suitable for just about everyone. The cheapest I've seen this on Amazon is $369, so while not the lowest ever price, it's still a good deal for what you get here.
The catch? It's not the most accurate 3D printer in this price bracket, but it still beats most rivals if you want the complete package.
We called Creality's K2 Pro "an exceptional machine capable of producing some of the best 3D prints of any machine in this price bracket." A solid mid-range pick for a range of printing projects.
An unofficial upgrade on the K1C, we called the Creality K2 Pro "an exceptionally good 3D printer" capable of producing some of the best prints in its price bracket in our review, where it scored 4.5 stars and a Highly Recommended award. This is an all-time low price on Amazon, making it unmissable.
The catch? While it supports multi-color 3D printing, it was slow during our workshop testing.
We called the K2 Plus "an outstanding machine" in our review. It features a large 350mm build volume, 16-color support, dual AI cameras, and an actively heated chamber. The rigid die-cast frame make it ideal for ambitious printing projects.
With a build volume of 350 x 350 x 350mm, the Creality K2 Plus is the one to go for if you want to print larger pieces - in our 4.5-star review, we praised the build quality, features, versatile material support that "ultimately produces outstanding prints." This isn't the cheapest I've seen it on sale, as back in June it hit $1099 - so you might want to wait to save a little more.
The catch? Due to the build volume, this 3D printer has a large footprint that won't be suitable for a lot of spaces.
