Best 3D printers under €1150
Updated 6 September 2026 · Live prices on every page load from Amazon.fr
Ranked off live Amazon.fr prices and the hardware spec sheet. I reward CoreXY motion, active-heated chambers, modern auto-levelling, genuinely-fast volumetric flow, and real build volume. Higher is better. Cheaper breaks ties. FDM only on this list - resin workflows are a different conversation.

Matt's take on this budget
Under €1150 you're buying capability, not compromise. Genuine CoreXY motion, 300 °C hot ends, proper enclosures - everything a hobbyist actually needs. What you're paying extra for at this tier over €580 is speed (volumetric flow rate), reliability at speed (input shaping, rigid frames), and usually the ability to print engineering materials. If you don't need engineering materials, the €580 tier saves you money you can put towards filament.
Frequently asked
What is the best 3D printer under €1150? +
Bambu P1S, Creality K2 Plus, Prusa MK4S and Qidi Plus4 all land here. The shortlist above is re-ranked by spec + live price; expect the first two slots to shift as Amazon pricing moves.
Can I print ABS and nylon at this budget? +
Yes. €1150 is the threshold where genuine active-chamber printers with 300 °C hot ends become mainstream. Plan for a filament dryer on top (around 10 % extra) if you want reliable nylon.
Is a multi-material unit worth the jump? +
Only if you actually want multi-colour prints or soluble supports. They add a few hundred to the system price and 30-50 % to print times because of filament purges. Most owners use them for a month then switch back to single-colour.
CoreXY or bedslinger at this price? +
CoreXY, almost always. Above the €580 tier the CoreXY machines deliver noticeably cleaner tall prints and tolerate higher speeds without ringing. The bedslinger savings have vanished at this tier.

Ranking is driven by the hardware spec sheet plus live price. It doesn't capture firmware quality, customer support or long-term reliability - so treat this as a starting shortlist, not a final answer. Every listed printer has its own page with the full spec table, a head-to-head picker, and candid pros/cons.
