This 3D printer is a game-changer for quickly creating D&D and Warhammer miniatures.

In a sea of 3D printers that often blend together, the FLSUN T1 makes a striking impression. It resembles a futuristic replicator or a high-tech engine, reminiscent of something you might see on a spaceship in a sci-fi epic. Its tall, angular design features a glass enclosure that conceals its inner mechanics, while the extruder moves with a life of its own during printing, evoking images of a squid-like robot from a cyberpunk universe.

While its unique aesthetics are captivating, they don’t overshadow its performance. The FLSUN T1 has remained memorable throughout my testing period, even as I’ve worked with various other machines. Its print quality is impressive enough to warrant that recognition. Whether you’re crafting cosplay props, larger collectibles, or intricate dungeon tiles for your favorite tabletop RPGs, this printer delivers consistently.

One of the standout features of the FLSUN T1 is its surprisingly spacious printing area, thanks to an elevated Y-axis. It also boasts remarkable speed, temperature control, and smart functionalities. This printer can reach speeds of up to 1,000mm/s, which is exceptional compared to many competitors in its price range—like the Anycubic Kobra 3 V2, which maxes out at 600mm/s.

Additionally, the T1 melts filament 2.75 times faster, thanks to a hot end that can hit 300℃ and a chamber temperature that can reach 50℃. With a 1080p camera for monitoring your prints and an optimized input shaping algorithm to reduce vibration issues, the FLSUN T1 is packed with impressive features.

In terms of design, it resembles other enclosed units like the Elegoo Centauri series or the Creality K1 range. It’s not the messy type of 3D printer that looks like it’s missing a cover; instead, it sports a sleek sci-fi aesthetic with a black and white dotted finish and ambient strip lighting that adds to its appeal.

However, be mindful of its height. If you’re short on space, fitting the T1 into your setup might be a challenge. It stands out as the tallest standard printer I’ve encountered, so consider your workspace before making a decision.

Having tested numerous 3D printers for various projects, from D&D terrain to a prop boltgun from Warhammer 40,000, the FLSUN T1 has excelled in every task. Its high Y-axis allows for more vertical printing than you might expect, making it incredibly versatile.

This machine is impressively reliable; I never faced a project it couldn’t handle. The results were consistently excellent. As a Warhammer enthusiast, I enjoy creating custom terrain, and while I initially used resin for my oil rig-style layout, I was pleasantly surprised by the T1’s ability to replicate the same prints with intricate detail. While resin prints may have a slight edge in high-definition quality, once painted, the difference becomes almost negligible.

If you’re looking for a similarly enclosed design that can handle multi-color models, consider the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo. While it may not match the T1’s speed, it can accommodate four filament reels for automated color swapping.

Now, about that impressive speed—it’s true, the T1 is incredibly fast. However, it does come with a downside: it can be quite noisy. When it’s in full swing, you’ll definitely notice it. If possible, I recommend setting it up in a basement or garage, rather than a home office where you spend a lot of time.

Despite the noise, the T1’s reliability and high Y-axis make it an excellent choice for creating collectibles like prop swords and guns. If noise is the only drawback, I can live with that.

For those looking to create larger props or models quickly, the FLSUN T1 is a fantastic option. It’s a dependable machine for both newcomers and seasoned 3D printing veterans. While it may lack the versatility of multi-color printing and isn’t suited for massive projects in one go, it handles everything else you throw at it with ease.

✅ Speed is a priority: If you need quick results, the FLSUN T1 is a solid pick.

✅ You’re printing larger models: Its impressive height makes it ideal for cosplay items or taller prints.

❌ Noise is a concern: The speed comes with some noise. It’s not unbearable, but it’s definitely noticeable.

❌ Speed isn’t a priority: If you’re not in a rush, there are cheaper alternatives that offer similar print quality.

I spent several weeks testing the FLSUN T1 with a variety of print projects, from the classic Benchy model to detailed terrain for tabletop wargaming. To ensure fairness, I consistently printed similar models across different machines for direct comparison, focusing on practical uses rather than generic items—like dungeon tiles for D&D or painting handles for Warhammer.
