Announced in 2026 with no US price yet

  • Creality K3 (FDM with the KliTek nozzle-changing system): unveiled at IFA Berlin on September 5, 2026. Creality's K3 page still says "Coming Q3 2026" as of October 11, after the third quarter ended on September 30, and shows a subscribe form rather than a price.
  • Creality Ender-3 V3 Mega: unveiled at IFA with a 420 × 420 × 420 mm build volume. It was not listed in the 3D printer collections of Creality's US store when we checked.
  • Creality HALOT-X1 Max (resin, 16K, 17.1 L build volume): unveiled at IFA. Not listed in the resin printer collection of Creality's US store when we checked.
  • Elegoo resin printer, name not announced: Elegoo's October 9, 2026 release says New York Comic Con visitors get "a first look at a new resin 3D printer" and a product in a new category.

Announced in 2025, reaching US buyers in 2026

  • Snapmaker U1 (four-toolhead FDM, 270 × 270 × 270 mm): Snapmaker's March 25, 2026 post says the U1 would be in stock in all its warehouses by April 10, 2026, with the price moving from the $849 pre-order offer to a $899 regular price on that date. On October 11, Snapmaker's US store listed it at $849, with the next US-warehouse dispatch shown as October 25-30.
  • Anycubic Kobra X (four-color FDM): debuted at Formnext 2025; Anycubic opened a $10 deposit program on December 26, 2025. Anycubic's US store listed it at $299 (reference price $399) on October 11.

Refreshed models

Prusa Research announced updated versions of three existing printers, the XL+, CORE One+ (Gen 2) and CORE One L+, in a blog post dated August 13, 2026. Prusa wrote that the refreshed lineup went on sale right away and that it is "keeping the same price for all machines". We did not add them to the tables: they are updates of existing models, and Prusa's US-dollar product page showed more than one price for the same model when we checked.

Where today's US price differs from the launch price

  • Elegoo: Centauri 2 $299 at launch, $279 on October 11; Centauri 2 Combo $379, now $329; Centauri Carbon 2 Combo $449, now $399.
  • Anycubic: Kobra 4 and Kobra 4 Combo show reference prices of $379 and $499 and sell for $199 and $299. Photon P1 Max presale prices rose in three steps from $849 to $959; the store now lists $959.
  • Flashforge: Creator 5 and Creator 5 Pro list regular prices of $799 and $949 and sell for $699 and $849.
  • Snapmaker: the U1's announced regular price from April 10 was $899; the US store lists $849.
  • Unchanged: Bambu Lab's X2D ($649 / $899) and A2L ($469 / $569) list the same US prices as at launch, and QIDI still lists the Plus5 at $749.
  • Unclear: Elegoo's Jupiter 2 launched at $949. Its US store page carries $949 in one piece of product data and $1,299 in another, so we have not recorded a current price.

Sale prices on brand stores change often. The figures above are what each store showed on October 11, 2026.

What we could not confirm

  • Current Indiegogo pledge tiers for the Creality SPARKX i8. Indiegogo returned HTTP 403 to our reader.
  • A US price or release date for the Creality K3, Ender-3 V3 Mega and HALOT-X1 Max. We checked Creality's IFA release, the K3 page and Creality's US store collections.
  • The date US sales began for the Creality HALOT-X1 Neo and Ender-3 V4, and launch prices for the SPARKX i7, HALOT-X1 Neo and Ender-3 V4. The releases we read do not state them.
  • The exact date the Sovol M1D Kickstarter opened. Sovol's store page does not state it; we rely on All3DP's July 29, 2026 report.
  • US shipping dates for the Flashforge Creator 5 series. Flashforge's March 24 release and store pages do not state them.
  • Launch prices for the Anycubic Kobra 4 series and Flashforge Creator 5 series. Their stores show only today's sale prices next to reference or regular prices. The Kobra 4 date in the table is the listing date in Anycubic's store product data; Anycubic's pages we read do not give an announcement date.
  • The Flashforge CJ270 launch release on globenewswire.com, which returned HTTP 403; we read the same release on a newswire partner's site.
