Best Fast 3D Printer

Every spec sheet now says 500 mm/s, and no owner has ever bought on that number. Acceleration and volumetric flow decide how long a real part takes, so those are the columns here.

Top pick

Bambu Lab P2S

The Bambu Lab P2S, on the numbers that decide how long a real part takes: 20,000 mm/s² and 40 mm³/s. Top speed is on every spec sheet and has never decided a purchase in any owner thread.
