The database holds 31 shipping CoreXY 3D printers from nine brands: Anycubic, Bambu Lab, Creality, Elegoo, Flashforge, Prusa Research, QIDI, Snapmaker and Sovol. CoreXY means two motors fixed to the frame move the toolhead in X and Y through two belts, while the bed moves only in Z. The table lists every one, newest release first.

Specs are the makers’ published figures. Speed and acceleration are maker claims, and a dash means the maker publishes no figure. Three shipping records have no release month, so they sit at the end of the table: the Bambu Lab H2D Pro, QIDI Max4 and QIDI Q2C.

Which 3D printers are CoreXY?

Thirty-one shipping printers in the database are CoreXY, from nine brands. Bambu Lab has the most with seven, including the P1S, P2S, X2D and H2D. Creality has six, among them the K1 Max and K2 Plus. QIDI has four; Elegoo, Prusa Research and Sovol have three each; Anycubic and Flashforge two; Snapmaker one, the U1.

The database also keeps 11 discontinued CoreXY models, such as the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon and Original Prusa XL, on the printer index. Two narrower cuts of this table exist: large CoreXY 3D printers, with a bed of at least 300 mm per side, and CoreXY printers under $500.

Which printers use true CoreXY?

Every printer in this table is recorded as CoreXY, from the sources cited on its record page. Some printers sold beside them use a different belt layout. Creality calls the Ender-3 V3 CoreXZ: its belts couple the X and Z axes while the bed still travels on Y. The database therefore stores it as a bedslinger.

Klipper’s configuration reference lists corexy and corexz as separate kinematics, along with hybrid variants of each. CoreXY vs H-bot explains how those layouts and the single-belt H-bot differ.

How much does a CoreXY 3D printer cost?

Shipping CoreXY printers in the database launched at $299 to $3,799, with a median launch price of $849. The lowest are the Creality K2 SE and Elegoo Centauri 2, both $299. The highest is the Bambu Lab H2D Pro at $3,799. Seven launched at $500 or less, 14 between $501 and $1,000, and ten above $1,000.

These are launch prices as announced, in US dollars, not current street prices. The K2 SE, for one, later sold for under $250. The H2D Pro’s $3,799 includes two filament units, the AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT.

Five of the seven printers at $500 or less are enclosed. One of them, the QIDI Q2 at $499, has an actively heated chamber.

What are the newest CoreXY printers?

The newest shipping CoreXY printers in the database were released in August 2026: the Prusa CORE One L+, Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2), Original Prusa XL+ and QIDI Plus5. Before them came the Elegoo Centauri 2 in June 2026, then the Anycubic Kobra S1 Max and the Flashforge Creator 5 and Creator 5 Pro in May 2026.

The three Prusa printers are updated versions of the CORE One L, CORE One+ and XL, announced on 13 August 2026.

Three more CoreXY printers are announced but not shipping, so the table leaves them out. Creality showed the K3 at IFA 2026 on 5 September, with no price or ship date. Prusa Research opened orders in August 2026 for the CORE One+ (Gen 2) INDX and CORE One L+ INDX. Both carry the Bondtech INDX system for up to eight tools and are priced in euros only.
