8 3D printers in stock at 3 shops · prices read 30 Oct

Rule

  • Build volume X is at least 180 mm
  • Build volume Y is stated
  • Build volume Z is stated
  • Lowest delivered price at most €500.00
  • Spec points per euro: each product earns one point for every one of 7 spec checks it meets (Auto bed leveling, Direct drive, Enclosure, Multi material, Max speed, Max hotend temperature, Build volume), divided by its lowest delivered price. Ties go to the lower price, then the name. The same formula ranks every list.
