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.

Unlike a kindergarten talent show where everyone gets an award, we take a far more rigorous approach. Since 2021, we have tested nearly 200 machines, and as of today, fewer than 10% have earned a spot on our recommendation list. It’s important to emphasize that our recommendation list is entirely independent. There is NO WAY to pay for a SPONSORSHIP to secure a place on the list. Each recommendation is based solely on our firsthand experience with the 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!
