The Creality Ender 5 S1 was one of the first printers to market able to print at 250 millimeters per second and, while it is faster than a standard printer, it can go even faster. Creality 3D printers always require some tinkering to get the most out of them, and with a solid discount like this, it’s worth the time to tweak the 5 S1 to greatness.

I’ve recently been working with the Finder 3, and I’m impressed with the quality it was able to produce straight from the box. It’s easy to set up and comes with a flexible build plate that you can replace the glass bed with. It makes it far easier to remove builds. This is the perfect printer for a teacher, as the enclosure makes it stable, and the slicer can control multiple printers at once via Wi-Fi.

This is easily my favorite small resin 3D printer. It’s super fast and prints beautiful models every time. Elegoo is an old hand at resin printing, so every part you’ll ever need to replace is easily acquired at a reasonable price. The details that can be captured with the Mars 3 are stunning, and some of my favorite models have come from this little machine.
Any time you can get the Mars 3 on sale is a good day, so snag one now. Just be sure to use the promo code ELEM310 at checkout to get the full discount.

The Mercury X bundle has been my personal go-to for resin washing and curing for a long time now. The separate machines run off one power supply but work independently as needed. They are plenty big enough to fit just about any 3D model from the Saturn 2, or Mars 3, and any time you can find this bundle under $200 you should snap it up.
