I’ve been 3D printing since November, and it’s safe to say that I’m totally addicted (and financially committed) to this creative hobby. 3D printing can be super expensive, so keep this in mind if you’re shopping for one this Prime Day. 

With that said, I’m always looking out for the best deals on 3D printers and filament bundles to help me save some money on material costs, and to keep tabs on any potential upgrades (I would die for the Anycubic Kobra 3 combo). 

BEST DEAL FOR BEGINNERS – Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo$289.99 $159.99 at AmazonSave $130:

BEST DEAL FOR BEGINNERS – Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo: $289.99 $159.99 at Amazon
Save $130: This 3D printer will appeal to newcomers since it’s extremely intuitive to use, has fast printing speeds, and throws up very few technical issues. However, if you can justify an extra $40, you get a great upgrade with the Kobra 2 (below) and a better display for controlling the printer.

This is a Prime-only deal so you’ll need to join Amazon Prime or be logged in to your account to get this printer for $159, unless you buy directly from the company.
