Print Per Gram is meant to be paid through affiliate links: if you buy through a link to Elegoo, Anycubic, Creality, Snapmaker or Bambu Lab, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. No program has accepted the site yet, links to Shop3D Universe and Flashforge earn us nothing (no program found or joined), and a commission never decides a pick. How we choose.
Enter your part's size, the material and, if you like, a budget and the space on your bench. The tool keeps the printers in stock that can hold the part, in any orientation or standing as drawn, and whose maker lists the material, then sorts them by price. If nothing fits, it shows the closest misses.
The result appears here.
How the check works
- Size: your part against the build volume each maker publishes (width x depth x height). With "any side down", all six orientations are tried; otherwise the part keeps its height and may turn 90° on the bed.
- Material: first, the maker's own list ("ideal", "supported", "capable"); a material the maker marks "not recommended" is excluded. When a maker publishes no list (Anycubic's Kobra S1 Combo page, for one), the printer passes only if its published nozzle and bed maximums reach the low end of the ranges in Bambu Lab's filament guide, and has an enclosure when that guide says one is required.
- Bench: the maker's published outside width and depth against yours, turned either way. Printers whose outside dimensions are not published are not filtered out.
What each material asks of the printer
Nozzle and bed ranges and enclosure advice from Bambu Lab's filament guides (PLA, PETG HF, ABS, ASA, TPU 95A HF, PA6-GF), read on November 7, 2026; other brands print similar ranges on their spools. The last column is the cheapest 1 kg we found.
| Material | Nozzle | Bed | Enclosure (Bambu Lab guide) | Cheapest 1 kg in our check [calc] |

How we compare: criteria, sources and dates
Every build volume, largest first
All 72 printers sorted by the volume of their build space [calc], with their outside size and weight, as published. Resin printers have small, tall volumes; the Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga's 800 x 800 x 1,000 mm is a class of its own.

Frequently asked questions
What 3D printer build volume do I need?
The size of your biggest part, plus a little margin, in the orientation you will print it. Common sizes in our check: 180 mm (7.1 in) cubes on the smallest printers, 220 to 256 mm (8.7 to 10.1 in) on most, 300 to 350 mm (11.8 to 13.8 in) on large ones, and 400 to 420 mm (15.7 to 16.5 in) beds on the Creality Ender-5 Max, Elegoo Neptune 4 Max and Anycubic Kobra 3 Max V2.
Can I print a part bigger than the build volume?
Yes, in pieces: slicers can cut a model into parts you glue or bolt together. The tool lists the closest printers when nothing fits, with how much the part is too big.
Why does a printer that lists ABS get a "check" flag?
Some makers list ABS or ASA for open-frame printers. Bambu Lab's filament guide says ABS "requires an enclosure" and recommends one for ASA and nylon. We show what the maker lists and flag the gap rather than decide for you.
Is the build volume the same on multi-nozzle printers?
Not always. Bambu Lab publishes smaller volumes when both nozzles of the H2D (300 x 320 x 320 mm) or the auxiliary nozzle of the X2D are used. The tool uses the single-nozzle figure and the table notes the other one.
