This table lists the desktop fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers that shipped or went on general sale in 2026, newest first. The newest are the Creality Ender-3 V3 Neo and Creality Ender-3 V3 Mega, both released in October 2026. Specs are the manufacturers’ published figures, and a dash means the maker publishes none.

Which 3D printers have been released in 2026 so far?

Eighteen printers in the database shipped in 2026 as of the last check, from seven makers: Anycubic, Bambu Lab, Creality, Elegoo, Flashforge, Prusa Research and QIDI. They range from the $259 Creality Ender-3 V3 Neo to the $2,299 Original Prusa XL+. May and August had the most releases, four each.

Prusa’s August update refreshed the CORE One+ (Gen 2), CORE One L+ and XL+. Anycubic added the Kobra 4, Kobra X, Kobra S1 Max and Kobra 3 Max V2. Two new tool-changer designs also shipped: the Flashforge Creator 5 and Creator 5 Pro, each with four docked toolheads.

Which 2026 printers have the highest speed claims?

The Bambu Lab X2D claims 1,000 mm/s, the highest maximum speed among 2026 releases. Five printers claim 600 mm/s: the Anycubic Kobra 4, Kobra X, Kobra S1 Max and Kobra 3 Max V2, and the QIDI Plus5. Both figures come from the makers, not from testing. On large parts, how fast the hotend melts plastic caps real printing speed.

The maximum flow figure, in mm³/s, measures that limit. Each printer’s spec sheet lists it where the maker publishes one. The comparison guide explains why flow predicts print times better than top speed.

Which newly released 3D printers cost under $800?

Thirteen 2026 releases launched under $800, from $259 to $799. Eight of them cost $469 or less. Launch prices are what the maker charged in US dollars for the cheapest configuration, without optional multi-material units. Street prices move after launch, so check the retailer’s current price.

Where do the figures come from?

Each row comes from that printer’s record. It cites the manufacturer’s spec page or spec sheet and carries a last-verified date. Release months come from the maker’s announcement or, where it gives none, from launch coverage in the 3D printing trade press. The methodology page sets out the sourcing rules.
