These Cyber Monday 3D printing deals might help you if you can’t find the item you want on Black Friday. This hobby is great for creative people or those who want to create something new at home. You only need to decide if filament 3D printing or resin is best for your needs before you can get into our hand-picked savings on the essentials.
FDM filament printing is the easiest for beginners. However, resin can be used to print miniature figurines with fine details and a smoother finish. If you have the space, patience, and a good ventilation system, then SLA/DLP printers can be a viable option for beginners.
Some 3D printers require a desktop or laptop to function. We recommend our roundup of the best Dell laptop deals for Cyber Monday.

Cyber Monday FDM 3D printer deals
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), is a fancy name for melting colored filament. The 3D printer creates objects one layer at the time, and can then move upwards to make virtually anything. Some models may have edges that are too high above the baseplate. They will not be able to float and will require support. Software designed for these printers is capable of slicing models quickly, creating scaffolding that can be removed later.
The maximum size for each model is limited by the printer’s print limit. However, you can divide your creations into smaller pieces to make larger objects like armor and helmets. FDM 3D printers, such as the Creality Ender 3 V2, are ideal if this is what your goal is. It retains strength even in large models and can print different patterns.

Cyber Monday SLA/DLP 3D printer deals
Stereolithography/digital light processing (SLA/DLP) is an equally wordy name for creating 3D models with liquid resin that cures over light. This is a great way to print miniatures or models for board games and achieve more detail. Resin printing has a downside. It is toxic and requires a well-ventilated place to place a printer.
For a resin finish, washing your printed models is necessary. However, it should be done with care even at this stage. As long as you have enough space, it’s not difficult and isn’t as intimidating as it sounds. Because resin 3D printers have smaller build plates that FDM printers, you will not be making large models. Also, the curing process makes prints a bit slower than filament. Siraya Tech Easy resin can be purchased at a discount to get your chosen SLA/DLP Printer started.
