How to compare 3D printers
Start with what you want to print: the materials rows say which each printer handles as it comes, and which need a hardened nozzle or an enclosure first.
Then decide on colours (a multi-colour unit, in the box with a combo or bought later) and size: the build volume is the biggest single part it can print.
How SpoolDeal checks prices
The same rules on every page, so a deal badge means the same thing everywhere.
Re-checked through the day
Every tracked listing on Amazon UK and Eryone UK is re-checked through the day, and the most-watched ones every two hours.
Measured against our own history
A deal only counts when the price is below what that reel has actually sold for over the last 90 days, not a seller's “was” price.
An email when it drops
Set a target price on any reel with a free account and we email you when it gets there.
Waiting for a better price?
Open any reel and set the price you want to pay. We check it through the day and email you when it gets there. Free, and you can switch it off any time.
