Elegoo
Elegoo built its reputation on MSLA resin printers before entering the FDM market with the Neptune series, offering Klipper-based motion systems at competitive price points. Their FDM lineup targets budget-conscious users who want modern features — auto bed leveling, direct drive, and fast CoreXY — without premium pricing. Elegoo continues to grow its filament printer catalog rapidly alongside its dominant resin product line.
