Does a 3D Printer Need a Sturdy Table?

If it’s not clear yet by now, yes, your 3D printer needs a sturdy table. 3D printers are bound to shake during the printing process. Having a sturdy table will help absorb and disperse the vibrations produced by the moving parts of the machine. In the long run, this also allows for the printer to work optimally.

What’s the end result?

Your printer will be quieter and your 3D prints will be smoother due to fewer artifacts and layer-shifting as there are no vibrations to interrupt extrusion. Keep reading and discover what makes a good 3D printing table!

What to Consider When Buying a 3D Printer Table

Considering the importance of a good 3D printer table, it’s obvious that purchasing the right one can be extremely beneficial. But don’t get too confused trying to find a table yourself! With thousands of available options, it’s important to take into account certain factors before deciding on your table.

To help you out, we will cover factors like the stability, customizability, usable space, and footprint of each printer table.

Product Reviews

Having the right table for your 3D printer will not only make working on your 3D printing projects more convenient, but it can also improve print quality. Looking for a good place to put your printer?

In the sections below, we’ve taken a look at what we think are the best tables for your 3D printer!

1. IKEA Lack (Best Choice)

The IKEA Lack is well-known by many 3D printing enthusiasts and has the reputation of being a really good 3D printer table. The table comes at a great value for the price.

The table’s dimensions are 22’’ x 22’’ x 18’’– perfect if you’re trying to optimize your space or if you don’t have a lot of space to spare. However, considering this, the table is smaller in comparison to other tables.

Accounting for this, we recommend the IKEA Lack for small to average size printers. The amount of table space is more than enough to handle printers like the Prusa i3 MK3S+ or the Ender 3 V2, leaving enough space to fit the footprint of the 3D printer.

The design of the table is simple. With only one shelf (a top-shelf), the table can hold up to 55 pounds!

The surface finish and overall table quality are great. The table has a pleasing, clean, and simple look– perfect for any 3D printer! Customers are able to choose from various color options from black, white, and even wood-colored finishes.

A cool thing about this table is that you can use it to make your own DIY enclosure!! The table is very light in weight and you can easily stack them on top of each other with 3D printed mounts. By stacking the tables and adding hardware and plexiglass, you can construct the perfect enclosure.

Additionally, considering the table is wood, it’s easy to customize the table to your needs. You can easily add features to the IKEA Lack table. Features include but are not limited to, drawers, spool holders, or acrylic panels.

Overall the IKEA Lack is an extremely sturdy table and is perfect if you are looking for something more affordable. However, there are some things to watch out for. When it comes to usable space, it cannot support larger printers.

Another thing to consider is the height of the table. Some people complain it’s too short and is a pain to bend over constantly. It’s important to consider this especially if you work with 3D printers often or professionally.

2. Fleximounts Workbench (With Drawer) (Best Value)

The Fleximounts Workbench is reputed to be one of the most versatile workbenches. You can use it as anything from a study desk in your bedroom to a workspace in your garage– or if you’re reading this article, as a table for your 3D printer.

The adjustable legs of this workbench really make it stand out to us. These legs allow you to adjust the height to your liking.

Additionally, the workbench is versatile in the sense that you can use it practically anywhere, and that you can customize it however you want! For example, some customers add casters to the bottom of the table to make moving it around easier.

If you are looking for a table with more storage options, this table may not be for you. The Fleximounts Workbench doesn’t offer storage options and only has one shelf. It does come with working drawers, however, there is not a lot of space in the drawers.

The desk overall spans a volume of 48” x 24” x 37.4”. This is plenty of space for any of your 3D printing projects as well as any additional tools you may need. While the desk does not come with a pegboard, many customers purchase one to place in front of their desk.

The Goplus Adjustable Workbench is heavy and robust enough to resist the shaking and vibrations of large 3D printers. It’s very sturdy in structure as the workbench is supported by solid steel legs which can handle a range of projects. To put it in numbers, the table can support up to 1500 pounds!

In fact, if you’re clumsy like me and bump into things just as often, this table is perfect for you. You won’t have to worry about anything happening if you bump into this table as it will not shake.

Conclusion

Obviously, there are many options for where you can put your 3D printer. But don’t just put your beloved machine down on any raised surface. The tables we’ve reviewed are the best of the best and should meet all your needs, including your budget.

But, for some more specific recommendations, I’d say go with the IKEA Lack enclosure. While it’s a little bit more intensive a build than the other tables, once you’ve assembled the tables with the corresponding 3D printable parts, it’s an excellent place to house your printer. Additionally, you can turn it into an enclosure to print high-temperature materials like ABS.

However, for a simpler option, the Seville Classics UltraHD Lighted Workbench is both ergonomic and easy to set up. The same goes for the custom 2×4 basics table we reviewed.

No matter which one you choose, though, we hope you enjoy your printing experience and we’ll always be here to help!
