One of our favorite beginner-friendly 3D printers has just been discounted – and we can’t recommend this one enough. The Creality Hi Combo 3D printer is now $399 (was $600) at Best Buy.
In our review we called the Creality Hi “an exceptionally well thought-out and robust 3D printer.” It’s impressively accurate considering it’s a budget model, and given the vast set of features, punches well above its weight for the price.

The printer arrives about 95% pre-assembled, so you’re not going to be spending your first evening with a pile of bolts and a confusing manual. Setup is closer to plug-in, run calibration, and start printing.
Its 260 x 260 x 300mm build volume is roomy enough for helmets, props, or larger functional parts without slicing models into sections.
Speed is another draw for the Creality Hi. It can print at up to 500mm/s, which cuts waiting time dramatically compared with older, slower consumer machines.
Auto-calibration runs with a single tap, handling bed leveling and other adjustments without much user input. That’s especially handy if you just want to print instead of spending time tweaking settings.
The all-metal body uses die-cast aluminum parts, paired with a linear rail on the X-axis and dual rods on the Y-axis. That rigid setup helps keep motion smooth and reduces vibration during fast prints.
There’s also a quick-swap, clog-resistant nozzle, built-in camera, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a heated flexible build plate. It handles standard 1.75mm filament and uses common G-code or 3MF files.
In our review we noted the “overall quality of the base machine is exceptionally high,” and the “quality of the prints, from single to multifilament, was impressive, with good resolution and quality throughout.”
We felt that “when it comes to quality, this is one of the best printers that we’ve used for the price.” Discounted by $200, it’s even more of a must-buy if you’re looking to get into 3D printing. It’s so good, you’ll find the Creality Hi in our guide to the best 3D printers we’ve tested.
