The moment our resident 3D printing expert Alastair submitted his Creality Hi review , I knew this was going into our round-up of the best 3D printers - particularly if you're looking for a decent beginner-friendly unit that won't break the bank.

You can also pick up the Combo edition for multi-color 3D printing out of the box. It's $371 (was $459) at Amazon.com or 399 (was 499) at Amazon.co.uk . Today's top 3D printer deal

If you've never used a 3D printer before, the Creality Hi is a great place to start. When our 3D printing expert took this one out for testing, he called
it a "high-quality entry-level 3D printer that packs in features and quality well above its price point."

Creality Hi Combo deal for multi-color 3D printing $371 (was $459) at Amazon.com 399 (was 499) at Amazon.co.uk

Considering the low cost compared to higher-end machines, the Creality Hi delivers incredible results.

In his comprehensive review, Alastair found it easy to set up and get
started, and noted that "the quality of the prints, from single to multifilament, was impressive, with good resolution and quality throughout."

He also said "when I printed the robot turtle, a relatively complex print for multicolour printers and one that even some of the more expensive printers
can struggle with, especially when it comes to cleanliness, here the Hi actually produced one of the best-looking robot turtles that any printer I've seen produced."

Overall, his tests led him to find the price, the quality and the build were all exceptional. So, definitely one I recommend checking out in Amazon's
early Black Friday sale. More 3D printing deals
