Ranking of the best desktop 3D printers of 2021

Last spring, we released our first ranking of the best 3D printers based on data from leading American portals All3DP and 3DSourced. It was posted on our website, as well as on partner sites, and was a huge success with our readers. Taking into account the unflagging interest in the topic, we decided to make it a tradition, and our first rating this year was based on our expert opinion and the realities of the Russian market, which has a number of differences from the American market in terms of popularity and equipment representation. For example, Russian manufacturers are unknown to American publications and, accordingly, do not fall into their ratings, just as in ours, in a similar way, some American and European ones do not. However, we will use the current ratings of American publications as a starting point and provide some of their ratings by model,which are equally popular in all countries.





We divided the rating into subgroups so as not to compare blue with hot, and green with large, and the main criteria for inclusion in the list of the best for us were: printer quality (design, components), print quality (material supply, airflow, site material), technical characteristics (construction area, electronics, material of execution), additional functions (auto-calibration, filament end sensors, displays, etc.), sales volume in Russia (only popular models were included in the rating), and of course, price.





Assembly kits

Let's start with the budget segment itself. Assembly kits are perhaps the most popular segment of 3D printers in Russia. In a sense, they reflect the level of technical literacy of the population. The result of printing is not the first thing to worry about here. Such printers are usually purchased not in order to get some interesting product, but in order to independently assemble, configure and, most importantly, improve the unit. This situation is more typical for Russia and the United States, while in Europe and China the level of technical literacy is lower, they prefer ready-to-use products.
