This list is for buyers who want prints in several colors. A printer qualifies if it can print more than one color with an included or optional unit, such as Bambu Lab's AMS, Creality's CFS or Anycubic's ACE Pro. Multicolor prints take longer and waste filament on every color change, so check each page for measured times and waste. How we score.
