Bed slinger 3D printers at a glance

On a bed slinger, the print plate moves back and forth while the print head moves left, right and up. The design is simple and affordable. Modern machines are still surprisingly fast. There are limits with very tall, slender parts and with enclosing the printer.

What to look for?

Allow space in front of and behind the printer, as the bed moves out.
A stable table matters because the moving bed produces vibrations.
Rather unsuitable for ABS and ASA, very good for PLA, PETG and TPU.
