I've been covering sales for a long time now, and if I've learned one thing, it's that you won't find the best Prime Day 3D printer deals – or Black Friday discounts, for that matter – at Amazon.
Yes, I know. It sounds a bit contradictory. How can anyone other than Amazon provide good Prime Day 3D printer deals without having access to, er, Prime? It's right there in the name. And honestly, the reductions you'd find on Amazon aren't bad. As an example, you can currently pick up one of my favorite machines, the Elegoo Centauri Carbon, for $339.99 at Amazon instead of $380. However, that pales in comparison to the same machine bought direct from the manufacturer. If you head to Elegoo's own store, you can get the same machine for a much lower $299.99. This isn't a pre-owned version, a different model, or one with fewer gadgets; it's the same thing, but at a markedly lower price.
