The Creality and Anycubic Christmas sales have kicked off, and there are some surprisingly good 3D printer deals in the mix even though we just waved off Black Friday. Elegoo is joining in with some offers of its own, too, so it's clearly a good time to be shopping for the big three.
While some machines are hovering just above the record low prices that we saw at the end of November, many - including the beginner friendly Kobra Go - have returned to their cheapest costs. The Go is currently back at $189 via Anycubic instead of almost $210, for example, while the Photon Mono X (which is a solid entry-level resin printer) has been slashed by $230 overall. Meanwhile, the Creality Ender-3 S1 Pro is $71 less at Creality's website and the Elegoo Saturn has 38% off (bringing it to $299.99 instead of $480 on the official Elegoo site).
These offers are selling fast; for instance, a 10% cut on the popular Creality Ender-3 V2 ran out after just a day on sale (as of right now, the only place to get it for less is Walmart, where it's $219.89 instead of $279).
Anycubic: Get discounts of up to $310 on printers
Creality USA: Save up to 15% on printers and accessories
Creality UK: Reductions of 15% across the range
Elegoo: Price cuts of 50% now available
It seems like a good time to stock up on supplies as well. As an example, you can grab three bottles of colored UV resin for the price of two at Anycubic right now, and many accessories at Creality have been reduced by 15% overall.
To save you some time working through the list, we've rounded up what we think are the best offers below. That includes some of the best 3D printers overall, so there's plenty to get your teeth into.
Just don't hang about for too long. The Anycubic sale runs until December 20, while Creality offers different discounts depending on the date (the current reductions last until December 13).
