As an additional holiday gift for Leapfrog users, the company has also announced some new software and firmware updates, which include bug fixes, safety features and other improvements.

Mark One Introductory Year Price

Markforged isn’t so much offering a holiday discount as reminding you that the discounted introductory price on their Mark One Carbon Fiber Printer will be expiring on December 31. Currently priced at $5,499, the printer is expected to increase in cost by up to 20%, in addition to an increase in the cost of materials and accessories. Markforged would also like to remind you of the federal government’s Section 179 tax deduction of up to $25,000 on 2015 equipment and software purchases. Markforged offers payment plans that will still allow you to qualify for the tax deduction as long as purchase is made before the end of the year.

Airwolf 3D Glass Plates

Airwolf 3D is knocking quite a bit off the price of some of their popular 3D printing accessories. Their Borosilicate glass plates, which include Borosilicate for HD/XL series printers and Flex-Resistant Borosilicate for HD printers, are being sold for 50% off, which means that Borosilicate is now $25 (regularly $50) and Flex-Resistant Borosilicate is now $37.50 (regularly $75).

If you’re not in the market for new plates, Airwolf is also offering a free gift for all 3D printing enthusiasts. On December 1, the company began 25 Days of Materials, a daily feature on some of the most common materials used in 3D printing. Each entry has a lot of information, so whether you’re a 3D printing pro or a newbie, you’ll likely learn something.

So there you are – there’s a lot of good deals choose from this holiday season, and, better yet, you can do all of your shopping from the comfort of your own home, rather than braving those big-box and mall crowds. These are obviously just a few of the discounts out there, so don’t hesitate to do your own bargain hunting as well. Also, some of the deals from our Black Friday and Cyber Monday Guide are still active as well, like this one from AIO Robotics, so keep those in mind as well. Happy holidays!  Have you taken advantage of any of these deals?  Let us know in the 3D Printing Holiday Deals forum on 3DPB.com.
