If you've been wanting to explore 3D printing to get your creative juices flowing but haven't done so because of its potential costs, we at CNET have great news for you. Bambu Lab is behind some of the most budget-friendly and intuitive lines of 3D printers you can buy today, and you can save up to 40% between now and July 15 thanks to their anniversary sale. Prefer Amazon? Prime members can save up to $270 on select 3D printer combos ahead of Prime Day.

Though there are multiple 3D printers available from Bambu Lab, we must highlight the P1P, which was already one of our favorites. With Bambu Lab's current offers, you can score the P1P for $399, saving $300 off the usual price of $699. Bambu Lab will also include a free maker's supply kit and starter pack valued at $36. I found this 3D printer better for overall accuracy and loved its strong frame. You can even print cases from the P1P.

My other recommendation is the Bambu Lab A1 3D printer, which is down to $339 at Bambu Lab and includes a free maker's supply pack valued at $16. This saves you $60 over its usual asking price. Out of all the Bambu Lab 3D printers I had the chance to test, this one was the easiest to start working with right out of the box. Its easy setup means you can start printing in roughly 10 minutes after unwrapping.

If you have less space or need to keep an eye on your budget, then the Bambu Lab A1 mini might be your best bet. At just $219, you save $80 and still get the same benefits of the larger A1. It sets up in roughly 20 minutes and makes a great gift for yourself or someone else at this price. Bambu Lab's deals include flash sales on select printers, filaments and kits, so make sure to browse their full catalog of offers.

Why this deal matters

Bambu Lab is behind some of the best 3D printers available today, and their three-year anniversary deal is rife with offers that will save you up to 40% until July 15. From now until then, you can find savings on their 3D printers, supply kits and filaments. Plus, select purchases also include free gifts so you can start printing right away. Amazon has several combo bundles available for their Amazon Prime members, so purchasing directly from Bambu Lab will give you the most options for now, though we suspect that could change as we get closer to Prime Day.
