A New Batch of 3D Printers Can Print Models in Half the Time

We have to say it: The reality of 3D printing does not always meet expectations.

After shelling out hundreds (or thousands) of dollars for a printer, finding the right files for what you want to print, and tweaking the settings so that your printer drips hot plastic with sub-millimeter precision, you’re rewarded with a 12-hour wait for your 8-inch-tall Deadpool bust.

No one could deny that it would be quicker and cheaper to go to Target.

Mercifully, the 3D printer market has changed dramatically over the past year, as companies such as Anker, Bambu Lab, and Prusa have introduced new printers that make printing faster and easier. Some of these new printers can cut print times in half—a massive improvement if you often find yourself printing pieces that take eight to 24 hours to complete.
