You might find the Black Friday item that you are looking for, but it’s not available on Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday offers 3D printing discounts may allow you to make your own. Anyone with creative skills or who is looking to do something different at home will find it appealing. Once you have decided whether filament or resin 3D printing suits you best, you can start looking at our carefully curated bargains for the necessities.
FDM filament printing is the easiest for beginners. However, resin can be used to print miniature figurines that have fine details and a smoother finish. You don’t need to be a professional printer if you are able to ventilate your space well and have patience for the extra steps.
Some 3D printers are dependent on a computer or laptop. Check out our Cyber Monday roundup for the best Dell laptop deals.

Cyber Monday FDM 3D printer deals
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), is the fancy name for melting colored filament. The 3D printer creates objects layer by layer, and you can move up to make almost anything. Overhanging edges can cause models to not float above their base plates and may require support. Software designed to work with these printers will slice models quickly, creating scaffolding you can take off later.
The maximum sizes of individual models are limited by the printers, but you can make larger objects such as armor or cosplay helmets by dividing them into pieces. FDM 3D printers, such as the Creality Ender 3 V2, are ideal if that’s what you want. It retains strength even in large models and can print different patterns. A deal on Overture 1.75mm PLA filament is a great way to get started in the hobby.
Cyber Monday SLA/DLP 3D printer deals
Stereolithography/digital light processing (SLA/DLP) is an equally wordy name for creating 3D models with liquid resin that cures over light. You can print smaller models or miniatures for board game boards with greater detail, and you don’t have to do a lot more post-print touchesups. Resin printing has a downside. It is toxic and requires a place to set up a printer.
For a resin-like finish, washing your models should be done. You don’t need to be a professional in order to do this. The build plate size of resin 3D printers is often smaller than FDM printers. This means that you won’t make larger models and the cure process can cause prints to take longer than those made with filament. Siraya Tech Easy resin is a great bargain for getting started with your SLA/DLP printer.
