Before, using my other scanners like the POP 3, or MINI 2, it always felt restrictive having to connect them to a laptop, and they also just felt more fragile.

Now with the standalone Miraco that functions as basically it’s own 16GB RAM computer, you can truly use it as a handheld 3D scanner without being tethered to a laptop or computer, which gives you more freedom, and just feels so much better.

It does mean you can run into framerate issues in some cases, but I’ll get into that. It’s most comparable to the Einstar 3D scanner, which requires a connection to a computer to run, but is considered one of the best 3D scanners in that $1,000-ish price range. I’ve also included a section comparing it directly with that, and my recommendation.

My Quick Summary: Should You Buy the Revopoint Miraco?

Overall, I think the Revopoint Miraco is the best 3D scanner out right now in its price range. I give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars, based on that its great accuracy, completely standalone usage so you don’t need a laptop connected, and for the editing suite built into it.

It feels more like a point-and-shoot 3D camera, whereas previous 3D scanners I’ve reviewed for 3DSourced felt more cumbersome. It’s a really nice experience to use, and I find myself using it a lot more than the MINI, even for smaller models, just because it’s easier to use.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Very versatile: with Near and Far modes you can optimize your scans for smaller miniatures, as well as larger scans of car accessories (or entire cars).
• High quality captures: I can see the difference in quality between the Miraco and the POP 3, which was previously their generalist 3D scanner, with sharper details caught.
• Doesn’t require a connection to a laptop: this is the biggest advantage for me. Not only does it mean more freedom when using it at home, but it also means I can bring this to any event and scan people’s faces, or bring to a practical job, for example for scanning a car interior, without having to connect it to anything. It’s very easy to transfer the models via WiFi or USB after.
• Charges quickly: you can get to around 85% in just 30 minutes, which is really handy if you’re often on the go and need to charge quickly.
• Pause and Undo modes really help with getting good scans: you can pause your scan whenever you want, and the Undo button lets you remove the last few frames and go backwards if you do ever get any bad data in your scan. Then simply press continue and resume scanning without any of this noise in your scan.

Cons:

• Arguably tries to do too much by putting 2 scanners in 1. The MINI 2 could be better for solely miniature scanning, while the RANGE can do a similarly good job for larger models. I actually disagree with this and enjoy the versatility, but I did still want to mention this. The Miraco is a lot cheaper than buying the RANGE 2 and MINI 2 individually, so it’s a better bundle deal overall.
• Expensive compared to other Revopoint scanners. However, for the specs and performance and what it allows you to do, it is excellent. But for basic miniature scanning, the MINI 2 you can get this for around $500 cheaper.
• Awkwardly placed power button. It’s not clearly marked as the power button, and also being on the side it’s easy to accidentally hit it. Very minor, but worth noting anyway.

Setup 

Setup was quick once I had charged the Miraco (it says to charge to at least 60% before use, but I charged it to 100% anyway). 

You’re asked to connect to WiFi so you can wirelessly transmit scans, your language, and date and time, before you’re ready to scan your first model.

Usually the screw-in is just for mounting for stationary scanning with the turntable. But because this isn’t tethered to a laptop, you can instead screw in a leather holding strap that goes around your wrists, giving you better control over the scanner in handheld mode.

You get the turntable, handheld leather strap, a variety of surfaces and 

My Hands-On Testing

Here’s a few of the 3D scans I tried out:

Statue

First I scanned the statue model that came with the Miraco in the box. I scanned it from two angles to get the undersides of it to then combine them in post-processing.

Plant pot

I first tested the Miraco on some flowers in a pot, as they had some pretty delicate features. It handled the more delicate flower features really well, but the color of the plant pot made it difficult to scan the pot.

Shoe

I then tested a white sneaker shoe to see how it picked up details for shoe design. I used a white Nike Air Force One trainer, and wanted to see how well it picked up the details, such as the Nike tick, the “Air” sign on the side, and the red Supreme logo on the side of the leather in the texture.

It didn’t really pick up the rectangle Supreme logo seen above in the mesh, but did a good job on most of the stitching, as well as the “Air” part.

I also tried a few shiny necklaces and rings, as well as some darker models, and while generally I think the Miraco picks up darker colors better than previous Revopoint scanners, it still can’t pick up black colors. You will still need to use a special matte spray to make these surfaces readable by the 3D scanner.

Also, one other model that isn’t in this article had a rose gold plant pot, which the Miraco could not pick up. So along with typical shiny silver, it can’t pick up less shiny rose gold either – this would still require the spray.

Features

For a quick overview of the specs, here they are:

• The actual 3D scanner lets you preview what you’re scanning with the 2K OLED touchscreen that’s 6 inches wide.
• Has a 48MP RGB camera with two sets of depth cameras for Near and Far modes, with 8K color capture for the textures.
• Revopoint claims up to 0.02mm precision, and up to 0.05mm accuracy
• It’s a 8-core 2.4Ghz computer, with USB connectivity and WiFi, and 16GB RAM and a 256GB hard drive. There’s also a 32GB RAM “Pro” version for $300 more.
• It costs around $1,300, but is often on sale for less.
• It weights around 750 grams
• Fully charged, it lasts around 2 hours, and charges to over 80% in 30 minutes.
• Two capture options: Continuous, where it captures constantly, or Single Shot mode, which captures via single shots.
• You can pause scans during progress and restart at another part of your model, for example if you want to re-start it when the turntable has shown a new side of your model. There’s also an “Undo” button to undo the last few frames of scanning which is extremely helpful if you get some erroneous data in your scan and want to remove it before continuing the scan again.
• There’s a setting for removing the surface the object sits on, such as stand used to prop your item up, or the desk the turntable sits on.
• The screen also can be pulled up, so you can scan your own face and see the progress in what Revopoint call “Selfie Mode”, which is useful. 

Software

There is built-in software within the Revopoint Miraco, so you can make basic edits on the device itself, for example the one-tap editing to turn the point cloud into a final scan. 

It basically runs a version of Revo Scan locally, so you get a lot of the same features for more precise editing as well, particuarly for projects where the one-click edit isn’t accurate enough for sharp details.

Then for any more detailed edits, there’s the Revo Studio software for Windows and Mac. You can get rid of noise in the background, fill in gaps, and generally you have much more control with Revo Scan than on the handheld Miraco scanner itself. 

Revo Scan can algo merge multiple scans together, for example if you’re scanning a trophy or a statue, and want to scan the model, and then turn it on its side to scan the base, you can then merge these together in Revo Scan for a complete 3D model.

But, I just want to also say that you shouldn’t really expect perfection in any 3D scan – no matter how good your scan data. For truly accurate reverse-engineering-level scans, you’ll need to do editing in post with specialist 3D software, though the Miraco gets you a lot closer to this level than most other 3D scanners, and certainly does a better job than anything else in the price range or cheaper.

Comparisons with the Einstar

Fully all-in-one and self-contained scanner. Doesn’t require a link to a laptop etc.

Doesn’t require a laptop connection, whereas the Einstar does

This is an advantage over the Einscan, which needs to be plugged into a laptop, and has pretty high requirements for it to run smoothly:

Component	Minimum PC specification	Recommended PC specification
CPU	Intel i7-7700H or above	Intel® Core i7-11800H or above
Graphics card	NVIDIA GTX 1050 or above	NVIDIA GTX 1060 or above
Graphics memory size	4 GB or above	6 GB or above
RAM	16 GB or above	32 GB or above
USB	2.0 or above	2.0 or above
OS	Windows 10/11	Windows 10/11

Since the actual computer is built into the Miraco, you don’t need a powerful computer to keep up with the scanning process. Many users do not have the 32GB RAM computer recommended for running the Einstar at a decent FPS, so the Miraco is great if you’re one of those people.

However, the Miraco’s 16GB RAM can lose frame rate sometimes

The Pro version is probably more stable and faster with its 32GB RAM, but sometimes the FPS could fall to below 10FPS when scanning with the Miraco. If you have a powerful computer to run the Einstar, it is probably going to be faster, and possibly more accurate, in some situations.

The Miraco can be used with Windows or Mac. The Einstar is not currently compatible with Mac

While Einstar say they are releasing a Mac compatible software soon, I could not use the Einstar currently as a Mac user, as it is only built for Windows currently. 

There are no such problems with the Miraco, which worked seamlessly with my Macbook.

Neither of them are industrial-level high-fidely, reverse-engineering 3D scanners. You still need to pay $10K+ for this.

While high-quality, neither the Revopoint Miraco or the Einstar are going to get you super high-fidelity scans for industry level reverse engineering. 

And for under $1,500 you shouldn’t expect that, ethier.

In fact, add a 0 to that ($15,000) and you get the realistic price of something like an Artec Eva scanner that has the quality for these types of scans. 

But for all other less industrial scans, the Miraco is probably the best out there for hobbyist and semi-pro scanning.

Third-Party Reviews

I don’t want to make my recommendation without mentioning what some other experts have mentioned online in their reviews, and give you a balanced recommendation. So, here are some other experts who both disagree and agree with my recommendations:

1. Superfastmatt

Prefers the Einstar overall, though this was before a lot of the new firmware updates that have improved the Miraco since this video was published. 

However, some others, such as @ispanico97 in the comments, disagree. I’ve also added some other comments from owners of these that were useful to understand.

2. PopularImagination

This review was very interesting, as it compared the Canon R5’s photogrammetry against the Revopoint Miraco’s 3D scanning.

Using the Revopoint Miraco, PopularImagination managed to get incredible detail on a scan of a Van’s sneaker. I have attached a screenshot below:

And PopularImagination found the mesh quality was better on the Miraco than the Canon R5. However, he found the Canon’s texture quality in the stitching and other areas of the shoe came out better than on the Canon, once the colors and textures were applied.

So, for a 3D scan, the Miraco is definitely the better choice. But for advanced 3D modeling, 3D animation, and rendering, especially in color, the Canon R5 came out better.

3. Artisans of Vaul

Found that while even small models have excellent definition up close, the Revopoint MINI 2 does slightly outperform it in detailed pieces. While obviously the Miraco is far more versatile and can do entire motorbike or car models as well, this is interesting to note, as if you are only interested in very small models, the MINI 2 might be the better choice for you.

I’ve taken a screenshot from this excellent review, and you can see the MINI 2 on the left has slightly sharper details on this model than the Miraco scan on the right.

However, Artisans of Vaul did find that the Miraco’s 3D model had fewer grainy errors than the MINI 2’s scan, which is a plus for the Miraco.

So, whether you want to print large-scale figures, model cars or cosplay helmets as home projects, or large commercial prototypes, we’ve split this article into two sections covering both:

• The best under $1,000 (the largest 3D printers for home use)
• The best large-scale 3D printers for commercial use

Some inspired makers have even built enormous 850mm tall printers at home as DIY projects.

This article includes the best large bed 3D printers, as well as buying guide with what factors to consider when buying a larger printer, tips and tricks for printing based on the elements that change as you scale up print bed size, and some FAQs on large-scale printing.

How We Picked

In assessing which of the following 3D printers deserved to be on our ranking, we used the following criteria:

• Speed – Large prints can take days to complete, so speed is the name of the game. Especially with independently designed prints, it can be a huge benefit to complete a print faster, even if that means failing faster.
• Reliability – This is a catchall for how much tinkering and troubleshooting you can expect from your printer. Although expected for budget printers, it’s a major con if you’re playing printing issue whack-a-mole every time you start a new project.
• Size Relative to Price – A large print volume on a cheaper printer is more meaningful, but it also makes it accessible to hobbyists or smaller independent businesses.
• Customer Service – Especially with industrial printers, bad customer service can ruin an otherwise solid printer.
• Special Features – Some printers stand out because they have special features, such as enclosures, different formats (like CoreXY), or better firmware.

Best Large-Format 3D Printers – 2024 Reviews

1. Neptune 4 Max – Best Budget Option for Hobbyists

• Price: Check latest price at Elegoo here / Amazon here
• Build volume: 420 x 420 x 480 mm
• Filament compatibility: PLA, TPU, PETG, ABS, ASA, Nylon
• Max nozzle temp: 300°C 
• Max bed temp: 100°C

If you’re in the market for a budget large-volume printer, the Neptune 4 Max is the one to beat. It’s a comically large printer with a build volume of 420 x 420 x 480 mm.

The downside is that it won’t give you that polished, “it just works” experience. You can read more in our hands-on full review of the Neptune 4 Max, but you should expect some troubleshooting to get it printing optimally.

It does have great 121 point auto-leveling, which is crucial for a printer with such a large build plate. It isn’t as perfectly accurate as other printers on this list (like the Ultimaker S7), but you get what you pay for.

The Neptune 4 Max’s pre-installed Klipper firmware is another major point in its favor. If you’re willing to tweak settings, you can get incredibly high speeds with this printer while retaining excellent quality.

2. Anycubic Kobra Max – Largest Under $1000

• Price: Check latest price at Anycubic here / Amazon here
• Build Volume: 450 x 400 x 400 mm 
• Minimum Layer Height: 50 microns
• Max Nozzle Temperature: 260°C
• Filament Compatibility: PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU

The largest of Anycubic’s most recent batch of affordable large FDM printers, the Anycubic Kobra Max gives you a massive 450 x 400 x 400 mm – the largest build volume 3D printer under $600. That ultra-large build volume alone justifies a slot on our list, but there’s plenty more to like about the Kobra Max.

Despite the large capacity, the Kobra Max is made stable by the dual z-axis threaded lead screws, each with a dedicated stepper motor and two support rods to reduce wobble and keep things running smoothly.

With a 50-micron minimum layer height, the Kobra Max delivers solid precision and can theoretically crank sprint speeds up to a dizzying 180 mm/s.

It also has a tempered carborundum glass print bed, coated with Anycubic’s proprietary Ultrabase microporous coating.

Elsewhere, Anycubic has bundled in its in-house-developed LeviQ fully automatic bed leveling. We tested it ourselves on the Kobra and continue to be impressed with the accuracy and hands-off, set-and-forget ease of use it delivers. Anycubic is on to something special here, and it’s a delight to see LeviQ ported over the larger Kobra Max.

Other notable features include filament runout detection, the same responsive 4.3″ touchscreen display found on the smaller Kobra, adjustable belt tensioners, an E3D Volcano-inspired hot end, and reasonably quiet operational noise levels at 58 dB.

Overall, it’s definitely the largest 3D printer for home use, and a reliable FDM pick.

3. Creality K1 Max – Mid-Range Option For Quality and Cost Efficiency

• Price: Check latest price at Creality here / Amazon here
• Build volume: 300 x 300 x 300 mm
• Filament compatibility: ABS, PLA, PETG, PET, TPU, PA, ASA, PC, PLA-CF, PA-CF, PET-CF
• Max nozzle temp: 300°C 
• Max bed temp: 100°C

The Creality K1 Max is nothing like the engineering project that is the Ender 3. With this printer, Creality has taken a high-quality yet consumer-focused approach to the large volume printer.

It uses a CoreXY model, which allows for faster print head movements and speedy prints of up to 600 mm/s. The K1 Max also includes monitoring and quality assurance tools like AI LiDAR, a camera, and an enclosed design.

These factors allow for a wide range of filaments to be used, including finicky filaments like TPU and ABS. Plus, the inclusion of an air purifier makes them safer to print for the hobbyist.

Of course, the defining feature is a large build volume. The Creality K1 Max boasts a cube size of 300 x 300 x 300 mm. Overall, the K1 Max is the best option for a powerful high volume printer that stays in the consumer price range.

4. Modix Big-60 V3 Kit — For Heavy-Duty Use

• Price: $4,700 — Available at Matterhackers here / Available at Dynamism here
• Build volume: 600 x 600 x 660 mm

The Big-60 makes the previously mentioned printers look tiny, with its enormous 600 x 600 x 660 mm build volume able to print even the largest prototypes and parts in one large part. 

This is a huge advantage as you can print these large models without having to assemble them together – so surface finish isn’t affected by post-processing. 

It’s a large 3D printer kit, but experienced operators or 3D printing makers will have no trouble assembling the Model Big-60 V3, especially as it comes with such detailed instructions that take you through every step of the assembly process. 

The Big-60 V3 kit features premium parts all around, for example, a high-quality E3D hot end, and Duet3D controllers as standard. Despite being designed for industrial, heavy-duty use, the Big-60 is designed also to be modular enough that you can easily install any upgrades tailored to your 3D printing needs.

These could be custom, third-party upgrades, or any one of a number of available upgrades you can buy with the printer, such as the enclosure kit, a super high-temperature nozzle for industrial material printing like PEEK or ULTEM, or a secondary print head.

• Max nozzle temp: 300°C 
• Max bed temp: 120°C

The Raise3D Pro 3 Plus is a printer for professional use, such as rapid prototyping. Its shining feature are the dual extruders, allowing for multiple filament types to be used in a single print.

The build volume changes depending on whether you have one or two extruders. It’s quite large either way, with the vertical axis being especially impressive at 604.52 mm.

For the price, you will get a fully enclosed printer with a HEPA filter and air flow manager, an HD camera, auto bed leveling, and interchangeable hot end and extruder covers.

Although it has two extruders, the print speed is quite low. You trade speed for flexibility and the capacity for multi-filament prints.

6. Ultimaker S7 – Best Reliable and Feature Packed Industrial Printer

• Price: Matterhackers here
• Build volume: 330 x 240 x 300 mm
• Filament compatibility: 280+ tested materials
• Max nozzle temp: 180 – 280°C 
• Max bed temp: 100°C

The Ultimaker name comes with reliable, trustworthy industrial printers and the Ultimaker S7 is no exception. This is another professional-tier printer with a large build volume and dual extrusion.

It has an improved inductive probe for auto-leveling, promising better accuracy. The build plate also has a unique design using 25 magnets and 4 pins. The result is a streamlined leveling process and saved time.

Other benefits include a tested air filter, an onboard camera, and an auto-nozzle lifting system.

Overall, the Ultimaker will be the most reliable in an industrial context, even if it doesn’t have the largest build volume available. It still offers an impressive size of 330 x 240 x 300 mm.

Tips for Large-Format 3D Printing

Keep time in mind

It’s important to remember how long it takes to print these enormous parts. In rapid prototyping, it’s common to leave your printer running overnight and come back to it the next day, but if you’re printing a 50 x 50 cm prototype with a 0.4mm nozzle and small-ish layer heights, it could take several days to print.

A natural solution is to replace the standard 0.4mm nozzle that comes on most large-scale 3D printers with a larger (0.8-1.2mm) nozzle. Then, if printing larger layer heights (200 – 400 microns) you massively increase print speed.

However, this opens another can of worms. Less powerful hotends can struggle to melt such a large amount of filament quick enough to extrude in time, so you may want to upgrade your hotend to print without issue. We have a guide to some great hotends here.

Is it worth buying a large 3D printer, or using a 3D printing service instead?

This is another question you should ask yourself. If you’re only planning on printing a few prototypes for the year, you might find it advantageous to instead outsource your printing needs to an external service.

It’ll be more expensive than if you were to just pay for the materials to print yourself, but if you don’t have much use for the large-scale 3D printer, it’ll sit there collecting dust in your workshop for the rest of the year.

This is a simple value judgment — do you think you’ll use it enough?

The answer could even be to keep/buy a standard smaller 3D printer, use that for day-to-day prototyping, and if you have an enormous printer project, outsource those. We have a ranking of some of the best 3D printing services.

1 big 3D printer, or multiple smaller printers for many small parts

A common line of thought is that buying one large 3D printer gives you the capacity to print many smaller parts simultaneously.

This is true, but not necessarily efficient. Yes, you can print 10-20 small pieces at the same time on a large 3D printer, but it’ll take 20 times as long as you could have printed these parts on 20 desktop 3D printers. So, if you’re planning on printing many small parts, consider instead going with a 3D printer farm.

That said, the best 3D printer for large objects is certainly one with a big print volume – it’s a hassle gluing multiple parts together, and affects the final part’s strength.
