Methodology
How we rate 3D Printers
The meta score (0–100) combines three parts: our editorial rating (50 %), independent test reports (35 %) and ratings from our readers (15 %). If one part is missing, its weight is shared among the others.
The editorial rating draws on manufacturer specifications, independent tests and user experiences. It is made up of 6 criteria with fixed weights:
Print quality30 %
Test models (Benchy, overhangs, bridges, measured dimensional accuracy), surfaces, layer lines
Reliability20 %
Failed prints over 20 prints, adhesion, auto-leveling, filament sensor, power loss recovery
Speed10 %
Measured print time for a test model at equal quality
Ease of use & software15 %
Setup, slicer, display, app/camera, mandatory cloud, multicolor printing workflow
Materials & enclosure10 %
Can print ABS/ASA/TPU/nylon, nozzle temperature, enclosed build space, odor
Noise & build quality15 %
dB while printing, frame, maintenance (nozzle, belts), spare parts, actual build volume
We rate value for money separately: price deliberately does not count towards the meta score. That keeps the score stable when prices change. For value for money, we compare each model with what this category typically offers at its price.
