The FLSUN S1 Pro and the FLSUN V2 Max claim the highest max volumetric speed in the database: 110 mm³/s. Max volumetric speed is the volume of plastic a hotend can melt and push through the nozzle each second. Every figure on this page is the maker’s claim, not a measurement.

Makers test it in different ways, so equal numbers do not always mean equal hotends. Bambu Lab rates the A1 with acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) at 280 °C but the A2L with polylactic acid (PLA) at 220 °C. FLSUN’s 110 mm³/s is a peak. The volumetric flow guide explains why the figures are hard to compare.

The table lists all 88 shipping and discontinued printers in the database, highest claimed flow first. Of those, 51 publish no flow figure, among them every Prusa Research and Anycubic model. They show a dash and sort last. Prices are US launch prices.

In a slicer, max volumetric speed is a per-filament setting that should not exceed what the hotend can melt. Per-filament values are outside this page and are covered in the flow guide’s slicer section.

Which 3D printers have the highest max volumetric speed?

The FLSUN S1 Pro and FLSUN V2 Max claim 110 mm³/s, the highest figure in the database, and the FLSUN T1 Max claims 90 mm³/s. All three are delta printers. The Sovol SV08 Max and the discontinued Sovol Zero follow at 50 mm³/s, then 12 printers at 40 mm³/s from Bambu Lab, Creality and QIDI.

Across the 27 shipping printers that publish a figure, the median claim is 40 mm³/s. The lowest shipping claim is 28 mm³/s, from the Bambu Lab A1, A1 mini and A2L. On a 0.45 mm wide, 0.2 mm tall line, 110 mm³/s allows about 1,222 mm/s and 40 mm³/s about 444 mm/s. The fastest 3D printers list sorts shipping printers by claimed top speed.

What is the max volumetric speed of Bambu Lab printers?

Bambu Lab claims 40 mm³/s for the X2D, P2S, H2S, H2D, H2C and H2D Pro. The P1S and the discontinued X1-Carbon, X1E and P1P claim 32 mm³/s. The A1, A1 mini and A2L claim 28 mm³/s. Each Bambu Lab spec sheet states the test behind its figure, and the tests differ by series.

  • 40 mm³/s: Bambu Lab X2D, P2S, H2S, H2D, H2C and H2D Pro. Test: a 250 mm round model with a single outer wall, printed in Bambu Lab ABS at 280 °C.
  • 32 mm³/s: Bambu Lab P1S, X1-Carbon (X1C), X1E and P1P. Test: a 150 × 150 mm single-wall model in Bambu ABS at 280 °C. Bambu Lab ended the X1 series, including the X1-Carbon, in March 2026. It stopped selling the P1P in February 2026.
  • 28 mm³/s: Bambu Lab A1 and A1 mini, on the same 150 × 150 mm ABS test at 280 °C. The A2L is rated on a 150 mm round single-wall model in Bambu Lab PLA Basic at 220 °C, so its 28 mm³/s comes from a different test.

The X2D, H2S and H2D spec sheets also list 65 mm³/s for an optional high-flow hotend, on the same 250 mm ABS test. The database records the standard hotend’s 40 mm³/s. The Bambu Lab printer comparison sets the rest of each model’s spec sheet side by side.

What is the max volumetric speed of Creality printers?

Creality claims 40 mm³/s for the K2, K2 Pro, K2 Plus and Creality Hi. The K1 Max and Ender-3 V3 claim 32 mm³/s. For the K2 series, Creality says it tested with ABS at 280 °C. Eight other shipping Creality printers publish no flow figure, the K2 SE and Ender-5 Max among them.

Which 3D printers ship with a high-flow hotend?

Creality calls the stock hotend on the K2, K2 Pro and K2 Plus high-flow, at 40 mm³/s. QIDI does the same for the Plus5, also at 40 mm³/s, and Sovol for the SV08 Max’s 50 mm³/s nozzle. Prusa Research fits a high-flow nozzle as standard on four of its five shipping printers but publishes no flow figure for them.

A high-flow part is built to put more heat into the filament each second, as the flow guide describes. No standard test sits behind the label, so this list follows each maker’s own wording.

  • Called high-flow, with a figure: Creality K2, K2 Pro and K2 Plus (“40 mm³/s High-Flow Hotend”); QIDI Plus5 (“Next-Gen High-Flow Hotend,” 40 mm³/s); Sovol SV08 Max (“50mm³/s high-flow nozzle”); Sovol SV08 (“High-Flow Nozzle,” listed at ≤30 mm³/s).
  • Called high-flow, no figure: the Original Prusa MK4S, Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2), Prusa CORE One L+ and Original Prusa XL+ ship with a brass high-flow CHT (Core Heating Technology) nozzle. Prusa fits the standard nozzle instead when the MK4S comes bundled with its MMU3 multi-material unit.
  • High-flow as an option: Bambu Lab calls the stock hotend on the Bambu Lab X2D, H2S and H2D a standard flow hotend (40 mm³/s) and lists an optional high-flow hotend at 65 mm³/s. QIDI says a high-flow nozzle for the QIDI Max4 and Plus5 is coming, and that high-speed PLA and ABS “typically print around 30mm³/s” in practice.
  • Top of the range: the FLSUN S1 Pro and V2 Max (110 mm³/s) and the FLSUN T1 Max (90 mm³/s) claim more flow than any other shipping printer.
