This 3D printer comparison chart lists every desktop fused deposition modeling (FDM) printer in the database with the same columns: release date, motion system, build volume, enclosure, hotend and bed temperatures, claimed speed and flow, firmware license and launch price. Specs come from each manufacturer’s published figures, launch prices from the maker or launch coverage, and a dash means no published figure.

How do the build volumes of popular printers compare?

The most common build volume in the chart is 256 × 256 × 256 mm, about 16.8 liters, shared by the Bambu Lab P1S, A1 and several others. Compact machines such as the Bambu Lab A1 mini list a 180 mm cube. Large-format machines such as the Sovol SV08 Max reach 500 mm on each axis.

The liters column multiplies the three axes so printers with different shapes can be compared on one number. For tall parts, compare the Z axis; the build volume guide explains usable versus advertised volume.

How should the speed columns be read?

The maximum speed and maximum volumetric flow columns are manufacturer claims, not measurements. Flow in mm³/s limits how fast a hotend can melt plastic, so it caps real printing speed on large parts regardless of the toolhead speed claim. Prusa Research publishes neither figure, so both Prusa rows show a dash.

Where do the figures come from?

Each row comes from that printer’s record, which cites the manufacturer’s spec page or spec sheet and carries a last-verified date. Launch prices are for the base configuration in US dollars, sourced from the manufacturer or launch coverage. Current street prices differ; check the retailer before buying.
