When comparing different 3D Printers from various brands against each other, it’s not always easy to see exactly how they differ from each other, with many models looking extremely similar but just offering slightly different nuances and under-the-hood features. However, when looking at the BIQU BX 3D Printer from BigTreeTech/BIQU, it’s blatantly obvious that this model is not like the rest, with the massive display being the first noticeable change that always catches everyone off-guard. From there, some other distinct features that stand out include the carbon fibre style hydro-dipped trimmings, an extremely neat and tidy cable management solution, as well as the very impressive BIQU H2 Direct Drive Extruder/Hotend.
Under the hood, the BIQU BX 3D Printer also offers some very fancy features, and while they’re not obvious at first glance, once the machine starts and up and begins to lay down those layers, these undercover features become very apparent. This of course is precisely why we love BIQU 3D Printers, because in addition to being mechanically sound and well designed, the electronics and other supporting hardware are some of the best on the market, featuring the BigTreeTech controller board and stepper drivers that have taken the Hobbyist 3D Printing world by storm over just the past few years.
Now, it’s quite difficult to pinpoint precisely what’s brilliant about the BIQU BX, but that’s not because of a lack of features, and is in fact the exact opposite, offering so many fantastic features that it’s almost impossible to select just a few. With that in mind, lets take a look at the key factors that we believe are the cream of the crop for the BIQU BX, and which give it a big lead over competitors that is definitely going to be tough to beat:
With so many key features fighting for centre-stage, it can be tough to look past those and see what else this beautiful machine offers. However, while not being key features, the BIQU BX is certainly loaded with an amazing range of “minor” features as well, and this includes things like a titanium alloy heat break, Stepper Drivers with built-in sensorless homing, dual leadscrews driven by 0.9° steppers, a reliable and powerful Mean Well PSU, as well as LED lights along the top bar that react to current printing progress, changing colour as the machine heats up and when it finishes a print. This is all complemented with small quality of life features like a silkscreen print of the controller board and connectors, neat and tidy single-cable style connections, and other small features that simply add towards the overall user experience of the BIQU BX.
Note: If you are using Raspberry Pi / OctoPrint or other remote printing solutions, then You need to ensure that you plug in the SD Card after the machine has booted up into RPi mode, as the display unit can sometimes reset during bootup if the SD Card is plugged in when switching between Pi Mode and other modes.

With some extremely impressive major features that blow the socks off of competing models, as well as host of fantastic minor features to make 3D Printing easier, more enjoy and more efficient – as well as some quality of life features to add to the overall experience – there may only be a handful of 3D Printers on the market right now that can beat the genuine value that the BIQU BX offers. In fact, from our experience, a 3D Printer with this many features built in (and with such a huge multi-mode display as well!) should cost at least two times the price that the BIQU BX is being offered for, and we’re finding it more and more difficult to recommend any other models within the same price range.
However, with that being said, we must be honest and say that we just wish it had a larger build volume, although with so many great features all packed into an affordable and good quality package, we feel like asking for even more would simply be greedy. Fortunately though, while a lot of people look at large build volumes and can’t help but want the largest volume possible for their prints, the truth is that a large majority of 3D Makers don’t even actually use the full space of a 300x300mm or larger 3D Printer. As such, we feel that the BIQU BX quite literally offers the perfect package for both beginners and veterans – as well as everyone in between – and we strongly believe that you will never be disappointed if you choose the BIQU BX over other models.
So, as a final verdict, if you are a 3D Maker who definitely knows that you will need a larger build volume than just 250x250x250mm, then you may want to consider looking at the Creality CR-10 MAX or similar larger format machines. However, for anyone else, the BIQU BX offers more than enough volume for a large majority of items that you will likely want to print, and at such an incredible level of value for money, the BIQU BX should be a near-impossible to ignore model that clearly outshines a vast number of hobbyist 3D Printers that are available to 3D Makers right now.
Finally, if you want to enjoy a more visual based review, the following video is a great BIQU BX Review by ruiraptor, which covers all of the basics, some of the problems experienced with the kickstarter, how BIQU have provided solutions to all of the original problems, and of course some demonstrations of various functions and features on this beautiful machine:
No customer reviews for the moment.
Although many people may not quite recognise the name, BIQU is a fantastic brand that originated as BigTreeTech, and began their journey in the 3D Printing world by creating motherboards and other electronics that were made to enhance the functionality, ease of use and overall capabilities of other 3D Printers. However, after gaining a firm popularity as some the leaders in 3D Upgrades, they have also now branched off and created BIQU, a brand dedicated to creating entire 3D Printers for hobbyists like us.
Compared to many of the brands on the market, what we particularly love about BIQU is the way that their models come fully equipped with all of the exciting BigTreeTech controller boards, stepper drivers and other awesome components that are typically installed into other 3D Printers as powerful upgrades. These include the popular SKR motherboards, the BTT TMC Drivers, BTT TFT displays and other minor (but still valuable) upgrades that are often installed on Creality 3D Printers, but since these “upgrades” come stock on BIQU 3D Printers, you can enjoy even more reliable operations and functionality due to the fact that their machines are built specifically with their own boards and components in mind. This has resulted in BIQU creating some of the leading 3D Printers on the market, which don’t need any upgrades or improvements to match the quality of leading brands, and with many of the BIQU models actually surpassing the quality and capabilities of most other Hobbyist 3D Printers on the market.
If you love the idea of upgrading 3D Printers with all kinds of fun and functional upgrades, but aren’t too interested in getting a basic model that you have to actually upgrade yourself, the BIQU range of 3D Printers is the answer, bringing excellent quality coupled with all of the current best features available to 3D Makers.
