It's been exactly one year since I bought my very first 3D printer, thanks to a tempting Black Friday deal that led to a spontaneous and impulsive purchase. I can't believe how far I've come along in my 3D printing journey since, and I feel like I'm finally ready to master multi-colour printing.

I love my reliable Anycubic Kobra 2, but I think it's time for an upgrade to one of the best 3D printers on the market right now with AMS (automated material system) capabilities. I've been nagging Anycubic for a while to let me try out its new Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo model, but with no luck yet.

Overview: Printers made by Bambu Lab are premium and usually eye-wateringly expensive, which is why I'm pleasantly surprised to see these models fall into more budget-friendly territory for Black Friday.

Key features: Build Volume: 256x256x256mm | Printing Speed: 500mm/s(Max) | Nozzle Temp: ≤300℃ | Hotbed Temp: ≤100℃ | Build Platform: Bambu Textured PEI Plate | Weight: 13kg |

Release date: December 2023.

Price history: Amazon has the original RRP of this printer at $740 with the AMS lite included, but I don't think this is entirely correct (Amazon fibs sometimes). A bit of research has shown that it's always been sold at $559, so this deal is pretty rare.

Price check: $589 at Amazon

Review Consensus: We haven't yet got our hands on this Bambu Lab printer, but I know that it's one of the most popular printers on the market right now for both professionals and newcomers alike thanks to its beginner-friendly features and interface. Our sister site below also gave it a glowing review, describing it as a "smokin’ hot bedslinger".
