Recommendation List updates:

Introducing Aurora Tech Channel's highly anticipated 3D printer recommendation list! After countless hours of research, testing, and analysis, we have carefully selected the top contenders in each category. We understand that the 3D printing market can be overwhelming. Instead of featuring an extensive list of 3D printers, we have chosen only the very best in each category, with just one spot available for each. As experienced 3D printer users, we know that if we had to buy only one machine in each category, it would be the one we choose.

In contrast to a kindergarten talent show where everyone receives awards, in our case, we have rigorously tested over 100 3D printers, and as of today, we recommend less than 10% of the machines we have tested.. It's important to note that we DO NOT ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS ON THIS PAGE. Our recommendations are solely based on our firsthand experience with each machine, and no amount of money can influence our decisions.

We include our review video and an affiliate link for each machine. If you make a purchase through these affiliate links, you won't pay more, but we will earn a small commission. Thank you for supporting our channel!
