Introducing Aurora Tech Channel's highly anticipated 3D printer recommendation list! After countless hours of research, testing, and analysis, we have narrowed down the top contenders in each category. We understand that the 3D printing market can be overwhelming, which is why instead of featuring a long list of 3D printers, we have only included the very best in each category, with only one spot available for each. As experienced 3D printer users, we know that if we had to buy only one machine in that category, it would be the one we choose.
