Every new phone comes with wondering what kind of case you\u2019ll get for it, and a new TV might look better on a different TV stand or wall mount. 3D printers are no different, and where they\u2019re going to go and what they\u2019re going to go on are important decisions to be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/best-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"4352\">3D printer<\/a> is exciting, especially if it\u2019s your first one.

So here we\u2019re going to look at some of the best, coolest, and most practical tables and stands for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-are-the-best-tables-for-3d-printers\">Where are the best tables for 3D printers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t already have a usable surface, or if you just want to make sure you\u2019re getting the best, you can buy plenty of workbenches, stands, and tables ideal for 3D printers that come with a variety of applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From vibration-free fixtures to specifically shaped drawers, finding the 3D printer stand that\u2019s right for you is just a matter of knowing what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that I do not recommend wheeled 3D printer tables. There are a lot of people who recommend them, but I\u2019m personally paranoid about weak brakes, so I avoid them for hot, electric things like 3D printers. They can also be less stable, and you don&#8217;t want anything making your 3D printing environment less sturdy that could have even a minuscule effect on your print&#8217;s surface finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f4f4f4;font-size:11px\">3DSourced is reader-supported.

Here\">IKEA lack tables<\/a> do actually go together really well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If like me, you don\u2019t have a lot of space to spare, IKEA Lack tables are sturdy and strong 3D printer tables for smaller models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only are they stylish, but they\u2019re also fairly cheap and don\u2019t take up much space. They can make your 3D printer something of a centerpiece, or be put into the corner so nothing gets in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The empty underside means you can store things safely under them too, and the variety of available colors means you can even pick one out that goes well with your printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-i-need-from-a-3d-printer-stand\">What Do I Need from a 3D Printer Stand?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people will tell you that a table\u2019s a table, and yes, that is true. Provided you don\u2019t go too cheap, an IKEA table for a 3D printer isn\u2019t a completely out-there idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While standard benches or desks may work well enough as 3D printer tables, there are some things you\u2019ll want to look out for to maximize both safety and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-space-and-cleanliness\">Space and Cleanliness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>3D printers do require some space around them free of both dust and loose debris. Wood surfaces are perfect as they\u2019re easy to keep clean and won\u2019t get too hot during those long-haul projects.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-15-51-51-Best-table-for-3d-printer-1-e1608617267121-jpg-JPEG-Image-860-\u00d7-625-pixels.jpg\" alt=\"3D Printer Table Clean\" class=\"wp-image-10996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-15-51-51-Best-table-for-3d-printer-1-e1608617267121-jpg-JPEG-Image-860-\u00d7-625-pixels.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-15-51-51-Best-table-for-3d-printer-1-e1608617267121-jpg-JPEG-Image-860-\u00d7-625-pixels-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-15-51-51-Best-table-for-3d-printer-1-e1608617267121-jpg-JPEG-Image-860-\u00d7-625-pixels-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When working with materials like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/resin-dlp-sla-3d-printer-stereolithography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"4362\">resin<\/a>, it may be tempting to keep your 3D printer stand covered at least partially in towel or cloth, but this will increase the risk of fires should anything go wrong. Let\u2019s face it, any workstation is going to get stained eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/best-enclosed-3d-printer-enclosure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"4363\">3D printer with an enclosure<\/a>, the space around it still needs to be clean to ensure proper ventilation and cleaner air around your workspace. Dust gets kicked up easily as it is without a working machine in the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stability\">Stability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You wouldn\u2019t put a baby in a wobbly high chair, and you wouldn\u2019t ride a roller coaster with a broken safety bar. So definitely don\u2019t put your 3D printer on an unstable surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any table or stand for a 3D printer needs to be stable and capable of handling the printer\u2019s weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will this protect your likely expensive equipment from hitting the floor from 3ft up, but a sturdy 3D printer table will also mean that things won\u2019t go crashing down mid-print. A working machine carries plenty of risks as it is, the last thing you want is a stand that might collapse while printing, which is an extreme fire hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-15-52-06-ikea-lack-table-splice-3d-printing-105047-jpg-JPEG-Image-800-\u00d7-600-pixels.jpg\" alt=\"3D printer table Security\" class=\"wp-image-10997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-15-52-06-ikea-lack-table-splice-3d-printing-105047-jpg-JPEG-Image-800-\u00d7-600-pixels.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-15-52-06-ikea-lack-table-splice-3d-printing-105047-jpg-JPEG-Image-800-\u00d7-600-pixels-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-15-52-06-ikea-lack-table-splice-3d-printing-105047-jpg-JPEG-Image-800-\u00d7-600-pixels-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As well as sturdiness, shock absorption is also important to lengthen the shelf-life (pun intended ?) of your workspace. While there are vibration-free tables out there, simply tightening the screws and level-checking from time to time should be enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple shake test to check for wobble is usually fine, but also make sure your table can take the weight of your 3D printer. Some are heavier than others, and not all stands are created equal, so just make sure you\u2019ve got a strong surface that doesn\u2019t buckle under your printer\u2019s weight and you should be good to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-practicality\">Practicality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A clean and sturdy surface will make for a safe 3D printer table, but there\u2019s nothing wrong with some extra additions to make your work more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your 3D printer needs to be connected directly to your computer, installing hooks under the table to hold the wires will both clean up your work space and reduce the risk of tripping.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-16-04-18-64a9d64090e703e33f291c3a22732f13-jpg-JPEG-Image-628-\u00d7-472-pixels.jpg\" alt=\"Desk with storage\" class=\"wp-image-11000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-16-04-18-64a9d64090e703e33f291c3a22732f13-jpg-JPEG-Image-628-\u00d7-472-pixels.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-16-04-18-64a9d64090e703e33f291c3a22732f13-jpg-JPEG-Image-628-\u00d7-472-pixels-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Screenshot-2021-08-12-at-16-04-18-64a9d64090e703e33f291c3a22732f13-jpg-JPEG-Image-628-\u00d7-472-pixels-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Filament and material storage is also good. If you have your 3D printer in a cool and dry place \u2013 like a garage \u2013 then it\u2019s handy to have a 3D printer stand or desk with enough space to store your filaments makes for a more efficient workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provided you have enough space, desktop storage for resin, gloves, scrapers, and any other tools will make the whole printing to post-processing much smoother by keeping all necessary components in easy reach. Digging through a toolbox or disorganized drawers (which many of us are guilty of having) is never a fun job, and built-in slots or holders for your tools is a great way to cut out all the rifling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-df5b6640\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">For other tools that can come in handy, read our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/guides\/best-3d-printer-accessories-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"4364\">3D printer accessories<\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s something about buying new tech that makes us want to give it the perfect place to sit.
