Our verdict

Elegoo suits makers who want FDM printing, resin printing and laser engraving from one supplier rather than three. Entry prices sit under the €262.21 median across printer brands, print speeds reach 500 mm/s, and multi colour printing is part of the range.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Covers filament printing, resin printing and laser engraving in one catalogue, where Farnell lists FDM printers and scanners only.
  • Multi colour printing is offered, as it is across most of this group, with 89.5% of the printers here offering it.
  • Print speeds reach 500 mm/s, which sets the pace for tall parts and long batches.
  • Ships across the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the UK, Ireland, most of Europe and East and South East Asian markets, so most buyers can order direct.

Cons

  • Support runs on email and community only, so a machine that stops mid job means email or a forum thread.
  • The listed laser option tops out at 20 W, so heavier engraving work needs a different supplier.
  • The entity behind the store is HONGKONG ELEGOO TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, headquartered in China, so a warranty claim runs across a border for most buyers.
  • Prices across the stores compared here sit as low as €5.25 and as high as €8,768.75, so one price from figure says little about a full resin plus laser basket.

Who it suits

  • Makers who want filament and resin printing plus a laser engraver from one supplier.
  • Buyers comfortable with cross border shipping and written support rather than a phone line.
  • Makers who would rather add a second machine to the same basket than open a new account elsewhere.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone who wants a scanner in the same basket, since Farnell lists FDM printers and scanners where Elegoo does not.
  • Workshops after the broadest single brand of making equipment, since MatterHackers also lists cutting machines alongside its printers and laser engravers.
  • Buyers who need filament printing only and prefer a tighter catalogue, since SOVOL lists FDM printers only.

Core features

Multi colour printing: yes, on the printing side of the range, so a job is not locked to a single material. Print speeds reach 500 mm/s, the figure that decides how long a job sits on the bed and how many fit in a day. A higher ceiling helps most on tall or long parts, and on multi colour work, where every colour adds a pass rather than one. The laser option runs up to 20 W, so a buyer who wants marking and cutting as well as printing can build one basket at one supplier. Check which file formats each machine reads before planning a workflow that moves between them.

The company behind it

The store belongs to HONGKONG ELEGOO TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, a company founded 2015 and headquartered in China. That is a cross border setup for most buyers, so the practical questions are shipping time and which entity a warranty claim runs through. Support runs on email and community, which means written answers and a community forum rather than a phone line. Forum support suits a maker who searches existing threads and posts settings and photos with the question, and it keeps help in the buyer's own hands. It is thinner for anyone whose machine stops mid build and needs a same day answer, so keep spare parts and a second plan for long jobs.

Frequently asked questions

What does Elegoo make?+

Elegoo's catalogue runs from printing to laser work, covering fdm printer, resin printer and laser engraver in one store. That mix is wider than Farnell, which lists FDM printers and scanners, and wider than SOVOL, which lists FDM printers only. A maker who needs more than filament printing can stay with a single supplier.

How fast do Elegoo printers print?+

Print speeds reach 500 mm/s on the printing side. That figure sets how long a job sits on the bed, so it matters more than the headline price for anyone printing tall parts or long batches. Slower speeds stretch the same job across days instead of nights.

Can Elegoo printers print in more than one colour?+

Multi colour printing: yes, on the printing side of the range. It is not a differentiator here, since 89.5% of the printers in this group also offer it. Judge machines on 500 mm/s print speeds and build size instead, which is where the range separates.

What laser engravers does Elegoo sell?+

Elegoo lists laser engravers alongside its printers under fdm printer, resin printer and laser engraver, and the listed option runs up to 20 W. That lets a buyer add marking and cutting to a printing setup without opening a second supplier. Read each machine's own ratings before ordering for dense or thick material.

How do I get help if a machine fails?+

Support runs on email and community, so answers arrive in writing, by email or through a community forum. There is no phone line or live chat listed, which suits makers who search threads and post settings and photos. Keep spare parts in mind, since a stopped machine is often a swap.

Who is behind the Elegoo store?+

The store is run by HONGKONG ELEGOO TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, founded 2015 and headquartered in China. Buyers are contracting with a Hong Kong entity rather than a local branch, so returns and warranty claims run through that entity. That matters for anyone who needs a fast local swap.

Where does Elegoo ship from and to?+

Orders ship from a company headquartered in China to a long list of destinations, including the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other East and South East Asian markets. Most European and Asia Pacific buyers can order direct.

How much do Elegoo machines cost?+

Across the brands compared here, printer entries cluster around €262.21 and laser entries around €156.98, while the full spread runs as low as €5.25 and as high as €8,768.75. Treat any single price from figure as the floor of a basket, not the cost of a setup.

What should a first machine be?+

Decide on the material and the size of the work first. Resin printers handle fine detail, filament printers handle larger parts, and the laser option at 20 W adds marking and cutting. Elegoo's catalogue covers all three under fdm printer, resin printer and laser engraver, so a second machine can come from the same supplier as the first.
