Black Friday 3D printer deals: the price to beat
Each row is one printer we already score. The price to beat is the official store price checked on November 1, 2026, for the configuration named in the cell. If Black Friday beats that price, it is a real deal. If it does not, it is not. A past sale low is included only where a page we opened states one. Otherwise the cell says not checked. The BambuHub figures in that column come from BambuHub's third-party price log, not from Bambu Lab.
The catalog prices on the cards below were checked in September 2026. They are not this table. Amazon is not this table either. The 2026 picks still decide the job. The cheapest buying guide still decides how to choose. We will re-check them at least weekly, and on each announced sale date. The updated date on this page will move when a number changes.
Bambu Lab Black Friday 2026 is the current US sale page. Checked November 1, 2026, the title is Black Friday Deals 2026, and the banner says Oct 27, 8:00 AM ET to Dec 1, 2:00 AM ET. The price to beat is the product page in the table, not a struck-through typical price.

Price check log
Oct 18, 2026: all 8 rows checked at official stores.
Nov 1, 2026: all 8 rows rechecked at the cited store pages. The P1S, A1 Mini, A1 Combo, and MK4S kit prices changed. The Ender 3 V3 SE, K1C, and AD5M Pro prices were the same. The Kobra 3 Combo still had no US variant, so that price stays not checked.
The 8 printers we score, with catalog prices and Amazon links
The cards use the catalog price (price checked Sep 2026) and the Amazon link stored on each scorecard. The table above is the official store price checked November 1, 2026. Those are different numbers. This page does not choose the printer for you.
Price to beat for a first printer
Bambu Lab A1 Mini
The price to beat is $199 at Bambu Lab's US store, checked November 1, 2026. Overall 9.0/10 and ease of use 9.5/10. A sale has to come in under $199 to beat today's store price. Choosing the printer stays on the cheapest buying guide.
Cheapest printer we score
Creality Ender 3 V3 SE
$179 regular $199
The card shows about $199 (price checked Sep 2026). Creality's US store listed $179 on November 1, 2026, with $199 struck through. Overall 8.0/10 and value 9.5/10. That $179 is the official store price that day. A sale has to beat $179.
Multi-color in the box
Bambu Lab A1 Combo
$359 Combo with AMS Lite, typical $399
The card shows about $399 (price checked Sep 2026). Bambu's US store listed the A1 Combo at $359 on November 1, 2026, with a typical price of $399. Overall 9.0/10. The bare A1 on the same page was $259, with a typical price of $299. We do not score a bare A1, so $259 is not this card.
US store price not checked
Anycubic Kobra 3 Combo
$349 Combo includes the ACE Pro; bare printer costs less
Catalog price about $349 (price checked Sep 2026), overall 8.1/10, ACE Pro included. A US price to beat was still not available on November 1, 2026. The only variant on the product page was EU Plug, and it was sold out. Do not treat another region's listing as this card.
Filtered enclosed
Flashforge AD5M Pro
$379 regular $529
Catalog price about $389 (price checked Sep 2026). Flashforge listed the Adventurer 5M Pro at $379 on November 1, 2026, with $529 as the regular price on the same page. Overall 8.2/10. A real deal has to beat $379, not the struck-through $529.
Enclosed, hardened nozzle
Creality K1C
$499 regular $559
Catalog price about $429 (price checked Sep 2026), often $350 to $500. Creality's US store listed the K1C at $499 on November 1, 2026, with $559 struck through. Overall 8.3/10. A sale has to beat $499. The struck-through $559 is not a past low we verified.
Best overall and best enclosed
Bambu Lab P1S
$349 typical $399, combo pricing varies
The card shows about $549 (price checked Sep 2026), and the scorecard says combo pricing varies. On November 1, 2026 the US store listed the P1S at $349, the P1S AMS Combo at $479, and the P1S AMS 2 Pro Combo at $509. Overall 9.3/10. Beat $349 for the printer, or $479 if the cart is the AMS Combo.
Kit or assembled
Original Prusa MK4S
$899
Catalog price about $899 (price checked Sep 2026). The price to beat is $709 for the kit, or $999 assembled, per the USD prices on Prusa's MK4S page, checked November 1, 2026. USD list price, not cart-checked. Overall 9.1/10. Beat the price for the version in the cart. A past sale low was not checked.
When the sales start, by brand
timeanddate lists Black Friday as Fri, Nov 27, 2026, the day after Thanksgiving.
Bambu Lab Black Friday on the US store, checked November 1, 2026, is titled Black Friday Deals 2026. The banner says Oct 27, 8:00 AM ET to Dec 1, 2:00 AM ET. BambuHub, published October 16, 2026, said no 2026 US sale had been announced as of that date, and that the 2025 US sale started October 28. That article also says the A1 Mini's lowest 2026 US store price in its log is $209, and that the 2025 Black Friday A1 Mini price was $199.
Creality: the Black Friday Early Deals page is live. It says the early deals are on now, and that the main event kicks off on November 10. Treat it as unconfirmed for 2026. The page does not print a year next to that date.
Prusa, Flashforge, and Anycubic: a 2026 Black Friday start date was not checked. The product pages above are the prices, not a calendar.
How to spot a fake discount
Compare the price you pay with the price to beat. Ignore the percent until that dollar check is done.
Compare-at prices move. On the P1S product data, Bambu's own note calls a typical price the median store price on at least 7 of the last 90 days, excluding promotions. On November 1, 2026 the P1S printer was $349, with a typical price of $399. Flashforge shows the AD5M Pro at $379 with a regular price of $529 on the same page. Creality shows the K1C at $499 with $559 struck through, and the Ender 3 V3 SE at $179 with $199 struck through. A Black Friday badge that lands on those same selling prices is the current price in a new costume.
Bundles are a second trick. On November 1, 2026 the P1S page listed the AMS 2 Pro Combo at $509, the AMS Combo at $479, and the printer at $349. The A1 page listed the A1 Combo at $359 and an A1 Combo Print with Care Bundle at $406, which is more than the Combo. The bare A1 was $259, and we do not score that listing. Creality's early deals card for this K1C was labeled K1C 2025 on October 18, 2026 and linked to the same K1C product page. A printer-plus-filament combo is not the printer row.
Anycubic's Kobra 3 Combo page, rechecked November 1, 2026, showed a $355 sale price and a $355 regular price. The banner says the Combo is from $329 and that an out-of-stock Combo may ship as a Kobra 4 Combo. The only variant was EU Plug, and it was sold out. That is why the US price says not checked. Do not use $355 or $329 as the price to beat.
Bambu's US printer collection also listed a refurbished P1S from $339 next to a new-product price of $399 on October 18, 2026. Refurbished is a different listing. It is not the new P1S row.
- Read the configuration name before the percent.
- A struck-through price is not a past sale low unless a source dates it.
- A bundle that costs more than the printer is not a printer discount.
- If the cell says not checked, do not fill it in from a guess.
What to buy with a printer on sale
A cheaper printer does not include the bench around it. The buying list for add-ons is the accessories guide. Dryers are the filament dryer guide. Plates are the PEI build sheet guide. Spend leftover cash there only when the printer you picked already fits the job.
Filament is the other cart. We did not check a 2026 filament sale price, so we will not name a cheapest spool. If you buy several spools of PETG or TPU, the dryer matters more than a badge on the plastic.
Sunlu Filament Dryer S4 · $116.99
About $129 (price checked Sep 2026), 9.0/10, four spools, and it can print while drying. Buy it for PETG, TPU, nylon, or a humid room. A sealed PLA spool does not need it on day one.
BIQU CryoGrip Pro Frostbite 257 mm · $35
About $35 (price checked Sep 2026), 9.1/10, and it is a 257 mm plate for a Bambu A1, P1, or X1 bed. It does not fit the A1 Mini. Wash the plate that came in the box before you replace it.
Generic 34-Piece Printer Tools Kit · $19
About $19 (price checked Sep 2026). Snips, a scraper, and cleaning needles for the first bench. Skip it if the printer box already has them.
Price to beat by budget
This is only which checked price sits in which cap. It is not a new ranking.
Under $200: the Ender 3 V3 SE at $179 and the A1 Mini at $199 are the checked store prices under that cap. The Ender 3 V3 SE is the cheapest printer we score. A sale still has to beat $179 for the Ender, or $199 for the A1 Mini. The under-$200 guide is that cap.
Under $300: the A1 Mini at $199 fits. The bare A1 was $259 on Bambu's page, and we do not score it. The A1 Combo at $359 does not fit. The under-$300 guide is the cap.
Near $500: the AD5M Pro at $379, the P1S printer at $349, the P1S AMS Combo at $479, and the A1 Combo at $359 are under the cap on the stores we checked. The K1C at $499 is under it by a dollar. The Kobra 3 Combo US price was not checked, so it is not in this sentence. The under-$500 guide is the page for that cap.
The best 3D printer for a given job, including best overall on the P1S, stays on the 2026 picks page. A first machine stays on the best 3D printer for beginners page. A supervised home or school project stays on the best 3D printer for kids page. This table does not make those choices.
Above that: the MK4S is $709 kit, or $999 assembled, per the USD prices on Prusa's MK4S page. Checked Nov 1, 2026. USD list price, not cart-checked. Neither is a cheap printer. Beat the price for the one you mean to build or to unbox.
These prices get checked again
The store prices on this page were checked on November 1, 2026. We will re-check them at least weekly, and on each announced sale date. When a price changes, the updated date moves with it. Until then, the table is the price to beat, and a sale that does not beat it is not a deal.
Affiliate disclosure
3DPrintersRank does not sell printers. The price-to-beat table is the official store, checked November 1, 2026. Amazon shows the price you would pay there today. We do not score a bare full-size A1, a bare Kobra 3, or a refurbished P1S as its own listing. Each Check price on Amazon button is an affiliate link. We earn a small commission when you buy through it, at no extra cost to you, and we do not set the price.
Who should skip these printers
Skip a percent that does not beat the table
A struck-through price can be a typical price or a regular price on the same page. The deal is the dollar price you pay, compared with the price to beat.
Skip a bundle priced like a bare printer
A combo, a care bundle, or a printer plus filament is a different cart. Compare it with the same configuration, not with the printer-only row.
Skip this page for how to choose
Which cheap printer is worth owning, and what the first month costs, stays on the cheapest buying guide. This page only says which price a sale has to beat.
Who it's not for
Shoppers who still need help choosing a printer. That job stays on the cheapest buying guide and the 2026 picks page. This page is the price to beat.
