Buying 3D printers for schools is not like buying one for home. A classroom printer runs for students who have never used one. Nobody has time to tune it between lessons, and it has to be safe with thirty curious people around it. Whether you need the best 3D printer for schools with one lab or the best 3D printer for education across a district, this guide ranks the printers on sale today for exactly that. It reads what our printer catalog knows right now: how safe and reliable each printer is, and how it works with SimplyPrint. It also counts how many schools and makers already run it, the reviews, and the price you would pay in your region.
Our picks: the best 3D printers for schools in 2026
The best printer for a classroom overall, then the best for each budget. Every reason under a printer is read from its data and our assessment of it for schools, and the score is out of 100.

Bambu Lab P2S
The P2S is Bambu Lab's enclosed CoreXY printer and the successor to the P1S, with a 5-inch touchscreen, a quick-swap nozzle, AI failure detection and a 256 mm build cube. It is for anyone who wants an easy, fast printer that handles ABS and ASA as well as PLA and PETG.
- The most seamless printer we know for a classroom: it sets itself up, and with the AMS and Bambu Lab's own filament, loading and filament settings take care of themselves. Keep to PLA and PETG with students; SimplyPrint adds queue approval.
- 500+台のプリンターでSimplyPrintを使用

The best 3D printer for classroom use: what to look for
Safety: an enclosure and a door that closes
A fully enclosed printer keeps students' fingers away from a nozzle running at over 200 °C and a bed that moves on its own. It also keeps the warmth in, which ABS and ASA need. An enclosure is not a fume filter on its own. For most classroom work, print PLA and keep the room ventilated. Choose a printer with a filter if you plan to print ABS or ASA often.
Reliable without a technician
A teacher has no time to tune a printer between lessons. Look for automatic bed levelling and calibration, and a maker that sells spare nozzles and build plates. Prefer a printer many other people run: more users means more fixes already written down. A printer that prints well on the first try every time beats a faster one that needs attention.
One printer, a whole class
The hard part of 3D printing in school is rarely the printer. It is thirty students and a handful of machines. With SimplyPrint, students send their files to a shared print queue and a teacher approves what starts. Quotas stop one class from using all the filament. Students slice in the browser on a Chromebook, with nothing to install. AI failure detection stops a print that goes wrong when nobody is in the room. Students who design in Tinkercad can send their models straight on. More on running a classroom in our guide to 3D printing in schools.
Budget, spares and the long run
A school printer often lives five years or more. Count the cost of filament, nozzles and build plates as well as the printer. Check that the maker sells spare parts in your country, and prefer brands with a steady track record. Buying several of the same model makes spares and lessons simpler.
Student data and the maker's cloud
Some printers send every job through their maker's cloud. When students' files and names pass through it, that cloud is part of your school's data-protection picture. Ask where it runs and what it keeps, or choose printers you can run without it. Our brand ratings below show how much each maker depends on its own cloud.
Before you buy: a checklist for schools
- Where will it stand? An enclosed printer in a classroom, an open-frame one in a supervised lab.
- Who will run it? Plan who starts prints, who approves them, and who clears the plate after the last lesson.
- How will students send prints? From Chromebooks or iPads, through a shared queue, with nothing to install.
- What will it print? PLA for most projects; anything hotter needs ventilation and a teacher's eye.
- What will it cost a year? Filament, nozzles, build plates and a software plan, not only the printer.
- Who answers when it breaks? A maker or reseller that sells spare parts in your country.
Open or walled garden: the brands behind the picks
Some printer makers work like Apple: their printer, slicer, cloud and spare parts work together out of the box, on their terms. Others work like Android: open firmware, any slicer, any filament, and parts you can buy or print. For a school, a closed system can be the simplest start, but it also means the maker decides what the printer can do in five years. We rate each brand in six areas from public sources, with a dated record of recalls, layoffs and policy changes.

QIDI
オープン性:ほぼオープン(5点中4.2点)QIDI Tech is a Chinese 3D printer maker formed in 2014. It sells enclosed, Klipper-based CoreXY printers such as the compact Q2 and the larger Plus4 and Max4, and develops the open-source QIDI Studio slicer and the QIDI Link app.
設立: 2014 · ウェブサイト: qidi3d.com
QIDI is mostly open: its printers are standard Klipper machines you can run fully on the local network, with published source and plenty of spare parts. The phone app and the store-only privacy policy are the weak spots.
| ファームウェアとカスタムファームウェア ●●●●● |
QIDI printers run QIDI's editions of Klipper and Moonraker with Fluidd. QIDI publishes them and per-model firmware packages on GitHub under GPL (for example the Q2 in January 2026 and the Max4 in August 2026) and answers issues there. [1][2][3] |
| ローカル制御と連携 ●●●●● |
QIDI printers run Klipper and Moonraker with Fluidd on the printer, and QIDI Studio connects to them on the local network by IP without an account. QIDI publishes its Moonraker edition on GitHub, and other software can use Moonraker's documented API. Only the QIDI Link phone app needs an account and QIDI's cloud. [4][5][11][12] |
| サードパーティー製フィラメント、スライサー、部品 ●●●●● |
Third-party filament works; QIDI Studio is open source, and as Klipper and Moonraker printers they work with other Moonraker-compatible software. Hotends and nozzles are QIDI parts made per model. [6][1][7] |
| 修理と交換部品 ●●●●● |
QIDI's store lists many individual parts, including motherboards, eMMC modules, fans, extruders, hotends and Wi-Fi cards, and its wiki has replacement guides such as the Plus4 hotend. [7][8] |
| データとプライバシー ●●●●● |
Local use needs no account. QIDI Link requires one and says which server it uses (Aliyun in China, AWS elsewhere). The published privacy policy covers the online store, not the printers or the app. [5][9] |
| コミュニティとドキュメント ●●●●● |
Firmware is released and issues are taken on GitHub, and QIDI keeps a wiki per model with manuals, maintenance and troubleshooting guides. [1][4] |
- QIDI is one of the few printer makers we work with directly: they occasionally send us new printers, and put us in touch with their developers when we need them.
- Runs fully on the local network through Fluidd, with no account needed.
- Klipper and Moonraker sources and firmware updates are published on GitHub.
- Many individual spare parts, down to motherboards and eMMC modules.
- Open-source slicer and open filament choice.
- The QIDI Link app needs an account and QIDI's cloud.
- The privacy policy covers only the online store, not the printers or app.
- Hotends and nozzles are QIDI-specific parts.
- 8月 2026: QIDI published the firmware repository for the Max4 on GitHub under GPL-3.0. [2]
- 1月 2026: QIDI published the Q2's Klipper-based firmware on GitHub under GPL-3.0, with update packages and an issue tracker. [1]

Snapmaker
オープン性:ほぼオープン(5点中4.1点)Snapmaker is a Shenzhen company founded in 2016, built around machines that swap tool heads; its Original, 2.0 and U1 machines were launched on Kickstarter. It sells the U1, a CoreXY printer with four tool heads that change in about five seconds for multi-colour printing, and the Artisan, which combines 3D printing, laser engraving and CNC carving. Its buyers are makers, hobbyists and small workshops.
設立: 2016 · 本社: Shenzhen, China · 所有関係: Shenzhen Snapmaker Technologies Co., Ltd.; its main products were crowdfunded on Kickstarter · ウェブサイト: www.snapmaker.com
Snapmaker is mostly open: the U1 runs Klipper with a local Fluidd interface and published source, and nearly every part is sold separately. Its proprietary hotends and RFID system are the closed parts.
| ファームウェアとカスタムファームウェア ●●●●● |
The U1 runs modified Klipper, Moonraker and Fluidd. Snapmaker published its changes on GitHub under GPL-3.0 on 30 March 2026, about three months after Kickstarter deliveries finished. Firmware for the Snapmaker 2.0 and, since August 2026, the Artisan controller is also on GitHub under GPL. [1][2][3][4] |
| ローカル制御と連携 ●●●●● |
The U1 runs Klipper, Moonraker and Fluidd on the printer and prints from Snapmaker Orca over Wi-Fi or from a USB drive, so other software can use Moonraker's documented API; Snapmaker publishes its Moonraker changes on GitHub. For the Artisan, Snapmaker documents its G-code commands and has Luban pass jobs from OrcaSlicer over the OctoPrint protocol. The Snapmaker app is for remote monitoring. [1][5][13][14][15] |
| サードパーティー製フィラメント、スライサー、部品 ●●●●● |
Third-party 1.75 mm filament works and the U1 is supported in OrcaSlicer, but its RFID filament recognition is proprietary and only reads Snapmaker spools, and its hotends are proprietary one-piece units. Snapmaker documents using Cura, OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer with its older machines. [1][6][7] |
| 修理と交換部品 ●●●●● |
Snapmaker's shop sells most U1 parts on their own, including the main board, heated bed, extruder motor, toolhead board, belts, fans and touchscreen, and its wiki has replacement guides such as the U1 XY motor. Hotends can only be replaced as a whole unit. [8][9][1] |
| データとプライバシー ●●●●● |
Cloud features need a Snapmaker account. The privacy policy says personal data is stored on servers in the United States, may be shared with affiliates and third parties in China for some functions, and some data is kept for three years. [10] |
| コミュニティとドキュメント ●●●●● |
Active forum and a wiki with detailed FAQs and guides, firmware and slicer sources on GitHub, and frequent public updates and livestreams during the U1 campaign. [1][2][11] |
- The U1's four-head tool changer wastes little filament on colour changes.
- Klipper-based U1 with a local Fluidd interface and published firmware source.
- Nearly every U1 part is sold separately, with replacement guides.
- Has delivered all of its Kickstarter campaigns, the U1 ahead of schedule by its own account.
- U1 hotends are proprietary one-piece units.
- RFID filament recognition is proprietary and only works with Snapmaker spools.
- U1 firmware source came after deliveries, at the end of a self-set deadline.
- Personal data is stored in the US and may be shared with affiliates in China.
- The U1 does not work with Luban, so owners of older machines need a different slicer.
- 8月 2026: Snapmaker published the Artisan's Marlin-based controller firmware on GitHub under GPL-3.0. [4]
- 2026年3月30日: Snapmaker published its modified Klipper, Moonraker and Fluidd for the U1 on GitHub under GPL-3.0, on the last day of the deadline it had set itself. [1][2]
- 12月 2025: Snapmaker says all U1 Kickstarter orders shipped by 23 December 2025, ahead of its schedule. It says it delivered all three of its Kickstarter campaigns. [12]
- 9月 2025: The U1 Kickstarter raised $20.2 million from more than 20,000 backers by 30 September 2025, the most for any 3D printer on the platform. Snapmaker gives the final total as $20.6 million from 20,680 backers. [11][12]

ELEGOO
オープン性:ほぼオープン(5点中3.8点)ELEGOO is a Shenzhen company founded in 2015 that makes FDM and resin 3D printers, filament, laser engravers and STEM electronics kits. Its FDM range is the Centauri Carbon, an enclosed CoreXY printer, and the Neptune 4 series of open-frame Klipper printers, sold to hobbyists at budget to mid-range prices. DJI became a shareholder in 2025.
設立: 2015 · 本社: Shenzhen, China · 所有関係: Privately held through its parent, Shenzhen Zhinengpai (SmartPie) Technology; DJI became a shareholder in 2025 · ウェブサイト: www.elegoo.com
ELEGOO is fairly open in daily use: its printers work over the LAN with open slicers and any filament, and it now publishes firmware source. Source releases have followed community pressure rather than launch, and spare parts for the newest printers are thin in its store.
| ファームウェアとカスタムファームウェア ●●●●● |
The Neptune 4 series runs Klipper. For the Centauri Carbon, which went on sale in February 2025, ELEGOO published its modified source on GitHub under GPL-3.0 in September 2025, saying it did so in response to user feedback. [1][2][3][4] |
| ローカル制御と連携 ●●●●● |
ELEGOO's printers connect to its slicer on the local network by IP without an account. The Neptune 4 series serves Klipper's web interface and Moonraker, which OrcaSlicer reaches as an Octo/Klipper host. For the Centauri Carbon and Centauri Carbon 2, ELEGOO published Elegoo Link on GitHub in January 2026, an Apache-2.0 SDK for local discovery, status, file upload and print control. The Matrix phone app adds remote printing while the printer is online. [5][4][16][6][17] |
| サードパーティー製フィラメント、スライサー、部品 ●●●●● |
Third-party filament works; ElegooSlicer is an open-source OrcaSlicer-based slicer, OrcaSlicer works with the Neptune 4, and ELEGOO published the data format of its RFID filament tags so others can use it. [7][8][4] |
| 修理と交換部品 ●●●●● |
ELEGOO sells hotend, extruder and nozzle kits and some boards for the Neptune 4, and its wiki has many replacement guides, including the Centauri Carbon motherboard. The store's Centauri Carbon parts list is short (hotend kit, touchscreen, upper shell). [9][10][11] |
| データとプライバシー ●●●●● |
LAN printing needs no account; the Matrix app and cloud do. The privacy policy names the companies responsible for personal data in each region (Shenzhen, Hong Kong, United States) but is written mainly for the online store. [12][5] |
| コミュニティとドキュメント ●●●●● |
Active community and a wiki with guides per model; firmware and slicer sources are on GitHub, although the Centauri Carbon source came after users asked for it. [11][7][1] |
- Works on the local network with ElegooSlicer or OrcaSlicer, with no account needed.
- Open-source slicer and a published RFID tag format for filament.
- Many step-by-step replacement guides in its wiki.
- Offered owners compensation when the Centauri Carbon multi-colour add-on was delayed.
- Centauri Carbon firmware source came about seven months after sales began, after users asked.
- The Centauri Carbon's multi-colour add-on only became available in April 2026, after ELEGOO said in November 2025 it could not give a date.
- Few complete Centauri Carbon parts are listed in its store.
- The privacy policy is written mainly for the online store.
- 5月 2026: ELEGOO's parent closed a B+ financing round of over 500 million yuan (about $73 million) from investors including Meituan, Hillhouse Capital and Shenzhen Capital Group. It reported 2025 revenue of 2.3 billion yuan. [13]
- 2026年4月27日: CANVAS, the multi-colour system for the Centauri Carbon, became available, five months after ELEGOO said it could not give a release date. [14]
- 2025年11月18日: DJI and Hangzhou Jiangyu Technology became shareholders of ELEGOO's parent company, according to a business registration update reported by TechNode. The size of the stake was not disclosed. [15]
- 11月 2025: ELEGOO said the multi-colour system it was developing for the Centauri Carbon did not yet perform as it wanted and that it could not guarantee a release date. It offered owners a choice of a $50 filament coupon, a 365-day warranty extension or $80 off a Centauri Carbon 2 Combo. [14]
- 2025年9月26日: In response to user feedback, ELEGOO published the modified source code of the Centauri series firmware on GitHub under GPL-3.0. [1][2]
- 2月 2025: ELEGOO opened pre-orders for the Centauri Carbon, its first enclosed CoreXY printer, on 17 February 2025. [3]

Creality
オープン性:ほぼオープン(5点中3.6点)Creality is a Shenzhen 3D printer maker founded in 2014. Its low-cost Ender series, launched in 2017, made desktop 3D printing affordable for many hobbyists. It now sells Klipper-based K-series CoreXY printers, Ender and CR open-frame printers, the Hi and SPARKX beginner lines, the CFS multi-material system, 3D scanners and laser engravers, and runs the Creality Cloud model platform. It listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2026.
設立: 2014 · 本社: Shenzhen, China · 所有関係: Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (3388.HK) since 2026; founder Jack Chen is chief executive · ウェブサイト: www.creality.com
Creality sits in the middle: its Klipper-based printers can be run locally with Fluidd and open slicers, and it publishes firmware source, but usually months after launch, and it dropped root access on its 2025 K1 revisions.
| ファームウェアとカスタムファームウェア ●●●●● |
Creality publishes Klipper firmware source for the K1, K2, Hi and Ender-3 V3 KE on GitHub under GPL, but after launch: the K1 source came about three months after the series launched in May 2023, the K2 and Hi sources in September 2025. Earlier K1 printers have an official root option with a published guide, but Creality's wiki says the 2025 K1C and K1 Max do not support root access. [1][2][3][4][5] |
| ローカル制御と連携 ●●●●● |
Creality Print sends jobs over the local network with no account, and Creality Cloud is optional. The K2 series and Ender-3 V3 serve Fluidd on the printer, so other software can use Klipper's documented Moonraker API. On the K1 series, Creality's firmware notes treat Fluidd and Mainsail as add-ons owners install themselves, and Creality says the 2025 K1C and K1 Max do not support root access. The SPARKX i7 is set up through the Creality Cloud app. [6][20][7][21][4][8][22] |
| サードパーティー製フィラメント、スライサー、部品 ●●●●● |
Third-party filament works; Creality Print is an open-source (AGPL-3.0) slicer and OrcaSlicer supports Creality printers. Creality sells nozzle, hotend and extruder kits per model; newer K2 parts such as its nozzle kit are Creality designs. [10][11][12] |
| 修理と交換部品 ●●●●● |
Creality's store sells extruder, hotend, heating-block and print-head kits per model, and its wiki has parts lists and replacement guides for current printers (for example the K2 Plus and SPARKX i7 hotends). [12][13][14] |
| データとプライバシー ●●●●● |
Local printing needs no account; Creality Cloud and its app need one. Creality's published privacy policy is written for its websites and services, allows use of data for targeted advertising, and says little about printer data or where it is stored. [15][6] |
| コミュニティとドキュメント ●●●●● |
One of the largest user bases (second in consumer 3D printers by 2025 sales value, per figures in its listing), a public wiki with model-specific guides, firmware and slicer sources on GitHub, and an official forum. [16][10][6] |
- Klipper-based models can be run entirely on the local network through Fluidd, without an account.
- Firmware for most current models and the Creality Print slicer are published as source on GitHub.
- Wide range, from budget Ender printers to multi-colour K2 machines.
- Spare-part kits and model-specific replacement guides are easy to find.
- Very large user base, so community help is easy to find.
- Firmware source has usually appeared months after a model ships.
- Root access, offered on earlier K1 printers, is not supported on the 2025 K1C and K1 Max.
- The privacy policy says little about printer and cloud data.
- The SPARKX line is built around the Creality Cloud app and an account.
- 5月 2026: Creality listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (3388.HK), raising about HK$1.27 billion net. Its prospectus showed 2025 revenue of RMB 3.13 billion and a net loss of RMB 182.4 million, after a profit in 2024. [16][5]
- 11月 2025: Creality's wiki states that the 2025 revisions of the K1C and K1 Max do not support root access, which earlier K1 printers offered through an official option and guide. [4][17][3]
- 9月 2025: Creality published the Klipper source for its K2 series and for the Hi on GitHub under GPL-3.0. [2][18]
- 8月 2023: About three months after the K1 series launched, Creality published its K1 Klipper source on GitHub, followed by a repository with a root guide and Fluidd and Mainsail install instructions. [1][3][5]

Anycubic
オープン性:混在(5点中3.0点)Anycubic is a Chinese 3D printer maker founded in 2015. It sells the Kobra line of FDM printers, including the enclosed Kobra S1 and S1 Max, the large Kobra 3 Max and the low-cost Kobra X, the ACE Pro multi-material unit and Photon resin printers. Its printers are aimed at hobbyists and home users at budget to mid-range prices.
設立: 2015 · 本社: China (its global store is run by Hongkong Anycubic Technology Co., Limited) · ウェブサイト: www.anycubic.com
Anycubic is mixed: its printers work locally in LAN mode, take third-party filament and slicers, and have spare parts and guides, but its published firmware source leaves proprietary parts closed, custom firmware is unsupported, and its cloud had a security incident in 2024.
| ファームウェアとカスタムファームウェア ●●●●● |
The Kobra 3, 3 Max and S1 run Klipper-go, Anycubic's Go port of Klipper. Anycubic published its source with the kernel and U-Boot under GPL, for the Kobra 3 in October 2024 and for the wider family in October 2025, but says some proprietary features are kept closed, and that modifying the firmware voids the warranty. The community project Rinkhals adds Fluidd, Mainsail and SSH, and reports that the newer Kobra X only accepts signed updates. [1][2][3] |
| ローカル制御と連携 ●●●●● |
LAN mode lets Anycubic Slicer Next send prints, show progress and stream video on the local network without an account, and the S1's firmware 2.5.9.9 added sending from OrcaSlicer. With LAN mode on, the cloud, the app and AI failure detection are off, and the S1 must leave LAN mode and be bound to an account to update its firmware. Anycubic documents no local API for other software; Moonraker, Fluidd and Mainsail come only with the community firmware Rinkhals. [4][5][3] |
| サードパーティー製フィラメント、スライサー、部品 ●●●●● |
Third-party filament works. Anycubic Slicer Next is an open-source OrcaSlicer fork, and recent firmware accepts files sent from OrcaSlicer. Hotends, extruders and many other parts are model-specific Anycubic parts. [6][5][7] |
| 修理と交換部品 ●●●●● |
Anycubic's store sells hotends, extruders, motherboards, heated beds, motors and screens, and its wiki has replacement guides for current models, for example the Kobra S1 Max XY motors and the Kobra X Y-axis motor. [7][8][9] |
| データとプライバシー ●●●●● |
LAN mode keeps data on the local network, but the app and cloud need an account. Anycubic's privacy policy allows broad collection, including product usage, device signals and nearby Wi-Fi access points, and storage in the United States. In February 2024 a flaw in its cloud MQTT server let a third party push a file to Kobra 2 printers; Anycubic apologised and patched it. [10][11][4] |
| コミュニティとドキュメント ●●●●● |
Active user community and a wiki with guides and error codes for each model. Source releases leave proprietary parts closed, and custom firmware is a community effort. [4][2][3] |
- Budget to mid-range prices, with multi-colour Combo bundles.
- LAN mode works without an account.
- Spare parts and replacement guides for current models.
- Open-source slicer, and third-party filament works.
- Published firmware source leaves some features closed; modifying firmware voids the warranty.
- LAN mode turns off the app, cloud and AI failure detection, and firmware updates need the cloud.
- The privacy policy allows broad data collection.
- Its cloud was used to push files to printers in 2024 (fixed).
- 10月 2025: Anycubic published Klipper-go, its Go port of Klipper, as a standalone project for the Kobra 3, Kobra 3 V2, Kobra 3 Max and Kobra S1, with the MCU firmware, Linux kernel and U-Boot sources, on GitHub under GPL-3.0. It says some proprietary features remain closed. [2][12]
- 10月 2024: Anycubic published the Kobra 3 firmware sources (Klipper-go, MCU firmware, Linux kernel and U-Boot) on GitHub under GPL-3.0. [1]
- 2月 2024: A third party used a vulnerability in Anycubic's cloud MQTT server to make Kobra 2 Pro/Plus/Max printers download a file named 'hacked_machine_readme.gcode'. Anycubic counted 237 affected printers and over 2,000 that received the file, apologised for its late response, tightened cloud authorisation and released a firmware fix. [11]

Flashforge
オープン性:混在(5点中3.0点)Flashforge (Zhejiang Flashforge 3D Technology) is a Chinese 3D printer maker founded in 2011. It sells the Adventurer 5M and 5M Pro CoreXY printers, the AD5X multi-colour printer and the Creator series, plus resin and wax printers, to customers ranging from hobbyists to businesses.
設立: 2011 · 本社: Zhejiang, China · 所有関係: Zhejiang Flashforge 3D Technology Co., Ltd. · ウェブサイト: www.flashforge.com
Flashforge is mixed: the Adventurer 5M runs Klipper with published source and works in a LAN mode with open slicers, but the stock system is closed to modification and its app relies on the cloud.
| ファームウェアとカスタムファームウェア ●●●●● |
The Adventurer 5M series runs Klipper, and Flashforge published its Klipper source on GitHub under GPL-3.0 in January 2024. The stock system is not built to be modified: the community 'Klipper Mod', which adds Moonraker, Mainsail and Fluidd, is unofficial and warns that it may cost the warranty. [1][2] |
| ローカル制御と連携 ●●●●● |
A LAN mode lets Orca-Flashforge send jobs on the local network, and USB printing works offline. The Flash Maker app needs internet and a Flashforge account and does not connect in LAN mode. Flashforge documents no local API for other software. Moonraker with Mainsail or Fluidd comes only with the community Klipper Mod, which is unofficial and warns that it may cost the warranty. [3][4][2] |
| サードパーティー製フィラメント、スライサー、部品 ●●●●● |
Third-party filament works; Orca-Flashforge is an open-source OrcaSlicer fork and OrcaSlicer itself supports Flashforge printers. Nozzles are sold as complete printer-specific assemblies. [5][6][7] |
| 修理と交換部品 ●●●●● |
Flashforge sells nozzle, extruder, filament-feeding and touchscreen assemblies for the Adventurer 5M, and its wiki has replacement guides, for example the AD5X extruder board. [7][8] |
| コミュニティとドキュメント ●●●●● |
A wiki with manuals, FAQs and maintenance guides, and slicer and Klipper sources on GitHub; much of the advanced use comes from the community mod. [3][1][2] |
- Long-established maker, founded in 2011.
- LAN mode and USB printing work without the cloud.
- Klipper source and an open-source slicer are published.
- Common replacement assemblies are sold for the Adventurer 5M.
- Stock firmware is not meant to be modified; deeper control needs an unofficial community mod.
- The Flash Maker app needs internet and an account, and does not work in LAN mode.
- Nozzles are sold as complete printer-specific assemblies.
- 1月 2024: Flashforge published the Klipper source for the Adventurer 5M and 5M Pro on GitHub under GPL-3.0. [1]

Bambu Lab
オープン性:ほぼクローズド(5点中2.3点)
ほぼクローズド
閉鎖的なエコシステム開く
Bambu Lab
オープン性:ほぼクローズド(5点中2.3点)Bambu Lab is a Shenzhen company founded in 2020 by former DJI engineers. It makes FDM printers in four families (A, P, X and H), the AMS multi-material units, the Bambu Studio slicer, the Bambu Handy app and the MakerWorld model site, and designs them to be used together. Its printers are used by beginners, hobbyists, schools and print farms.
設立: 2020 · 本社: Shenzhen, China · 所有関係: Privately held; founded by CEO Ye Tao and other former DJI staff, with venture investors (BGR, 2026) · ウェブサイト: bambulab.com
Bambu Lab works like Apple: printer, slicer, app, cloud and multi-material system come from one company and are made to work together. Filament and slicer choice stay open, but the firmware is closed and signed, and since 2025 third-party control needs Bambu Connect or the unsupported Developer Mode.
| ファームウェアとカスタムファームウェア ●●●●● |
The printer firmware is Bambu's own and closed; in 2022 Bambu said it would keep it in-house. Its security white paper describes secure boot that only runs verified firmware on X1, H2, P1 and A1 printers. Bambu publishes the GPL parts it uses (Linux kernel, U-Boot, BusyBox) but not the printer software. Rooting the X1 only became possible through a security flaw the X1Plus project used in 2024; Bambu then published a one-off rootable X1 firmware for owners who give up their warranty, and blocks rooting in later firmware. [1][2][3][4][22] |
| ローカル制御と連携 ●●●●● |
LAN Only mode prints and monitors from Bambu Studio or Bambu Connect without internet or an account; the Handy app, printing from outside the network and print history need Bambu's cloud. Since the 2025 authorization firmware, other software can only read status in normal mode. Full control needs Developer Mode, which cuts the cloud link and which Bambu says it cannot support because the protocols are not official. Bambu documents no local protocol; it offers a file hand-off to Bambu Connect and a Local Server SDK on application. [23][24][6][7][5] |
| サードパーティー製フィラメント、スライサー、部品 ●●●●● |
Third-party filament works, and Bambu publicly denied in 2025 that it would restrict it. OrcaSlicer and other slicers can be used, but since the 2025 firmware they send and control prints through Bambu Connect or Developer Mode. Hotends are Bambu's own designs, and Bambu says it cannot promise long-term support for accessories that control the printer unless it approved them first. [7][6][4] |
| 修理と交換部品 ●●●●● |
Bambu's store sells individual spare parts down to motors, belts, encoders and boards, and its wiki has step-by-step replacement guides for each model (for example the P2S hotend and the H2D/H2C AP board). Many parts, hotends included, are Bambu-specific, so spares come from Bambu. [8][9][10] |
| データとプライバシー ●●●●● |
Cloud features need a Bambu account, while LAN Only mode keeps jobs on the local network. Bambu publishes a Trust Center and a 38-page security white paper, says it holds ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701 and TRUSTe certifications, and runs a paid bug bounty. In August 2023 a cloud outage made some printers start earlier jobs on their own; Bambu apologised. [2][11][5][12] |
| コミュニティとドキュメント ●●●●● |
Very large user community, the MakerWorld model site, a detailed wiki and a blog where Bambu explains its policy changes. Bambu Studio is developed in public on GitHub with an open issue tracker. The printer protocol is not documented, and Developer Mode is unsupported. [13][5][7] |
- Printer, slicer, app and AMS come from one company and are designed to work together, which makes a first setup simple.
- Step-by-step repair guides for each model and individual spare parts sold in Bambu's store.
- LAN Only mode works without internet or an account.
- Bambu Studio is open source, and third-party filament works.
- Publishes security certifications and runs a public bug bounty.
- Firmware is closed and signed; current models have no supported way to run custom firmware.
- Since the 2025 firmware, third-party software and accessories need Bambu Connect or the unsupported Developer Mode to control the printer.
- Remote printing, the Handy app and print history depend on Bambu's cloud.
- Hotends and many parts are Bambu-specific, so spares come from Bambu.
- In 2026 a US jury found the X1, P1 and A1 infringe Stratasys patents; Bambu is appealing.
- 9月 2026: A US federal jury in Texas found that Bambu Lab's X1, P1 and A1 printers infringe Stratasys patents on prime towers and bed levelling, and awarded Stratasys $27.6 million. No injunction was placed on the printers. Bambu told Tom's Hardware it disagrees with the verdict and intends to seek post-trial review and appeal. Stratasys had filed two suits in 2024; more patents are still to be decided. [14]
- 5月 2026: Bambu Lab pressed the developer of 'OrcaSlicer-bambulab', a fork that restored direct cloud printing from OrcaSlicer, to remove it, according to Manufactur3D. On 7 May Bambu said the fork impersonated the official Bambu Studio client to its cloud, which its user agreement does not allow, and that modifying and sharing its AGPL code remains fine. The developer disputed the claims. [15][16][17]
- 10月 2025: Bambu Lab opened a Trust Center with a security white paper and listed ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27701 and TRUSTe privacy certifications. A year later it said its bug bounty had worked with over 100 researchers and that it had added a public security update log. [2][11]
- 2025年1月20日: After criticism from users and print farms, Bambu Lab announced an optional Developer Mode for X1, P1, A1 and A1 mini that leaves MQTT, FTP and the live stream open for third-party software in LAN mode, without official support. It also said LAN mode via Bambu Connect needs neither internet nor an account, and that third-party filament would not be restricted. [7]
- 2025年1月16日: Bambu Lab announced firmware with 'authorization control', first for the X1: starting prints, moving axes, changing temperatures and binding the printer now require Bambu-approved software, also in LAN mode. On updated printers, third-party slicers and accessories such as the Panda Touch could no longer control the printer except through Bambu Connect; reading status still worked. Bambu cited security and up to 30 million unauthorised cloud requests a day; older firmware stayed optional. [6]
- 3月 2024: After the X1Plus jailbreak, Bambu Lab published a one-off rootable firmware for the X1 series for owners who give up their warranty support. It said it does not support X1Plus, and that firmware after it would block rooting again. [4]
- 2月 2024: Bambu Lab extended its A1 heatbed-cable callback to a recall of all A1 printers and asked owners to stop using them. It reported electrical faults in under 0.1% of units and offered a full refund plus an $80 voucher, or a redesigned heatbed plus a $120 voucher and six extra months of warranty. The A1 mini was not affected. [18][19]
- 1月 2024: Community developers rooted the X1 series through a security flaw in its firmware (up to version 1.07) and released the X1Plus custom firmware. Bambu Lab closed the flaw in later firmware. [22]
- 8月 2023: During a Bambu cloud outage on 15 August 2023, some printers started print jobs without user action, because jobs stuck in the cloud were resent when service returned. Bambu apologised, took responsibility and said it would add checks before a print starts. [12]
- 5月 2022: Before its first printers shipped, Bambu Lab said its firmware would stay closed and in-house to remain competitive, and promised to open-source everything if the company ever could not survive. [1]

Where they come from, and staying compliant
Most of the best 3D printers today come from Chinese companies, and this ranking reflects that: right now they give you the most printer for the money. That's no judgement of the people who make them. But for some buyers, where a printer comes from matters: many schools and school districts have procurement rules about where devices come from, and data protection rules about where student data may go.
このガイドの上位10台のプリンターのうち、10台は中国企業の製品です。 EU企業の製品のうち、評価の高いものを紹介します:
Any printer, on your terms, with SimplyPrint
Whoever makes your printer, SimplyPrint decides what it talks to:
- Off its maker's cloud. Most printers connect through the SimplyPrint Client on your own network, or in their local-network mode (Bambu Lab's LAN-only mode, with Developer Mode on its newer printers), so they never need their maker's cloud. You can block them from the internet entirely and let only the SimplyPrint Client connect out.
- Your data stored in Europe. SimplyPrint's cloud is hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, under the GDPR. See how we keep it secure and who processes data for us.
- One place for access. Users, permissions, single sign-on and an audit log, for every printer, whatever its brand.
- On your own servers, if you need it. See cloud vs. on-premise.
How we choose
No brand pays for its place in this guide. The ranking is a formula over our catalog, the same for every printer, and it runs again each time the page loads. For schools it weighs safety and reliability most:
| 評価で重視する点 | ポイント | 測定方法 |
|---|---|---|
| この用途に対する評価 | 23 | このタイプの購入者に向けたプリンターの記述式評価です。評価は「非常に良い」「良い」「普通」「悪い」の4段階で、「悪い」と評価したプリンターは除外します。まだ評価していないプリンターについては、この要素を除き、他の要素の比重を高めます。 |
| SimplyPrintに対応 | 16 | SimplyPrintで動作確認済み、互換性あり、または接続方法から動作が見込まれます。 |
| エンクロージャー | 14 | 完全密閉を最も高く評価し、部分密閉はその半分とします。 |

| ブランドの開放性 | 3 | 下のオープンから閉鎖的までの尺度におけるブランドの位置です。未評価の場合は中央として扱います。 |
| プリントに適した材料 | 2 | 温度、エンクロージャー、メーカーのリストから判断した、良好にプリントできるフィラメントの種類数です。 |
対象となるプリンターは、SimplyPrintで動作し(動作確認済み、互換性あり、または接続方法から動作が見込まれる)、メーカー独自のモデルで、現在も販売されているものです。販売中とは、メーカーが販売を続けている、店舗に現在の価格がある、または過去3年以内に発売された場合を指します。
このガイドでは、最安の販売店でUS$800以下のプリンターを評価しています。それより高価なプリンターは、編集者が選んだ場合を除き対象外です。
ブランドのオープン性は数点分の評価に反映されますが、それによって性能の劣るプリンターが最上位になることはありません。ブランドのこれまでの実績は各おすすめ製品に表示されますが、スコアには影響しません。企業に関するニュースは、プリンターの評価とは無関係です。
プリンターはスコアに基づいて選びます。ただし、実際の使用経験とスコアが一致しない場合は、編集者が別の機種を選ぶことがあり、その旨を明記します。
プリンターの新しいバージョンがガイドに掲載され、SimplyPrintでの動作が確認されている場合、古いバージョンは掲載されません。そうでない場合、古いバージョンは掲載されたままとなり、新しさに対する加点はなく、新しいバージョンがあることが記載されます。
一部のメーカーからはプリンターの提供や直接の協力を受けています。その場合は、ガイド内の該当プリンターの横に明記しています。
誤りを見つけた場合はお知らせください。修正します。 問い合わせる
オープン性の尺度
