I got mine today and I’m impressed to say the least. Never been interested in bed slingers before this. I found some issues, but only software/slicer related. For PLA printing of small objects, this little critter will most likely be replacing my previous “go to” (X1c) due to the low noise level but similar speed and quality.
I paid for a Bambulab printer but their delivery with DHL is stuck over 1 week in Germany with no explanation as to why. I have tried to ask from DHL customer service and gotten no answer
Wow, the features you mentioned make me want to consider buying this to 'sidegrade' my X2 (not upgrade) to this just for the simplicity factor and multicolor ability too...makes it all seem just too easy. We don't print massive items, but on occasion it's nice to have that bigger build plate on the X2. Great video, thanks for introducing it to us Ken. Hope all is well, busier than I have time for these days.
Very good review, thank you. I still don't own a 3D printer. But I think this is what I've been looking for... 16:24 about not messing around with the slicer, calibrating things for hours, etc. That's what I want. The whole thing looks so clean and goes above and beyond for hobby use.
Thank you. Just got into the drone hobby. This seems like a good fit into that field. I need small gram weight pieces to do what I want to do. This seems perfect for that and you really can't beat the price point value.
Not sure why people keep calling it a beginners printer (Maybe Bambu is pushing it) as i'm getting one to go alongside my Prusa. The only disadvantage i see is that it is a little smaller than your average printer but contains all the features and more than the Prusa
15:54 so THIS is what you were meaning when talking about the Ank.... printer... you mentioned to watch what's coming... that other one looked slick... this one though, dang for that price. wow. exciting times ahead Thanks Capt AHole!
I would get one but AMS takes up too much space. Also, I bought a Kingroon cantilever printer last year and can't justify another.. If you want something upgradeable/with off the shelf parts they are a greattt budget option. I have only taken it out of the box, loaded their profiles, and have been printing tpu parts non stop for the last year.
Considering it as my side-printer next to my X1C without the AMS to print small items (most likely with .2mm) and mono-color. Couldn't catch from this video or Bambu site to see how it goes with a single spool. Where is the spool holder I wonder.
Hello...new to 3D printing. Haven't made a purchase as of yet. Was close to pulling trigger on AnkerMake M5 or M5C. Any thoughts on how A1 mini compares to the Anker units?
If you have Microcenter near by they are set up next to each other, Bambu P1S & C1 and the print quality blows away the Anker. The ringing on the anker is horrible.
Would be nice if the printer you order would arrive from Bambulabs to begin with. I ordered over 1 week ago and DHL which is only option Bambulabs gives for delivery has now given status updates that they are holding the delivery in Germany. Why don't they send it to Finland?? Will never again order from Bambulabs anything with DHL
@@OriginaldoBo DHL told me they are still waiting for my product. Apparently Bambu Labs has not delivered it to DHL yet and it's 10 days since I bought P1P. Now I have to wait for BambuLab support to answer why they are not delivering my expensive printer.
@@Reds3DPrintingThe Prusa mini by itself is $180+ more than the A1 mini by itself. And for $30 more you get the AMS lite. Other than being able to use a couple more filaments imo A1 beats the mini in every way.
@@joelamaro4525 Yeah, I really dont know what I was sayin 6 months ago. or why in the world I woulda suggested the prusa mini lmao. I have had the a1 mini since december and I love it so much
I think that’s going to be a thing with any single-head multi-color printer. I’m considering this one, but also considering a couple of dual-head options for just that reason.

The simplicity and consistency is fantastic but the price is competitive

They created it for beginners, the sounds the fun nature of it , the ease of use is designed for those that are not experienced
Just got mine, on top of the 2 X1C's and my P1P that I have, the A1 is my favorite

Unless I misunderstood you, you said it does not use TPU 5:54 - later on you included TPU in the filiments it DOES use! 8:45 -???
You can not use TPU in the AMS , you can use TPU only direct into the extruder
@@OriginaldoBo OK, I'm a newbie and don't understand all that yet - Thanks : )
Thanks for the video! Can the printer be setup and run without any internet connectivity? Thanks

I have a Neptune 4 pro. I’m currently returning it tomorrow for a refund or replacement. Should I stay with the Neptune 4 pro or get this?
I can't understand why anyone would hesitate to buy the A1, it has no rival in the same price range, for the speed, print quality and user experience
Happy I found this cause this is the one i'm getting
I have a prusa mini plus how do you stack it against that one ?

Works great single spool.
That is a great printer! A lot of things going in the right direction for it! Thanks for sharing!
Great overview of the new Bambu A1 mini. Any idea when the A1 mini will be available without the ams? Thanks.
I believe they said before month end
I'm sure bambu lab were excited when you kept calling it the A1 not the A1 mini 😂😂
at the time the A1 didn’t exist lol
First! Thanks for the review. This is an interesting printer for a noob like me.
might be a dumb question ..but is the AMS light motorized? It looks like it just cause how it's built.
Yes it’s motorized
its a prusa mini updated but lets see if it can last like a mini can

Very soon I’ll be buying a 3D printer and it will be Bambu. Because it’s a A1, would we see the same firmware support?
Yeah this seems to have same support through the app and is on par with X1
multi colour TPU for your quad stuff is not possible with A1 ?
Not with the A1

Does it generate a wipe tower when printing multi material, or is it just the poop?
Yes you get a tower
Do you know if wood filled filament would work with the AMS Lite?
Negative
would there be an issue to use a glass build plate? Ordered a Mega Combo today!!
Not sure how it would stick or how well the heating would be
@@OriginaldoBo I use 3DLAC on all my printers with glass plates... works fantastic. Heating would be fine.
Can you buy this with out the multi printing but just have one filament mainly tpu
Yes
9 hours for that small print?? I mean it does look phenomenal for a 300 dollar printer but damn...
Color swaps take a lot of time
it has the same foot print as the prusa mini
As always 👍👍
I want to see you print abs
I have an ender 3 would this be an upgrade
id get prusa mini and prusa auto material unit
This is way beyond an Ender 3. The biggest issue would be a smaller build size with Ender 3 at 18.7 x 18.5 x 24.4cm

You shouldn’t say bad things about your Ex 1….what did she do to you! You totally got into that pooping 3D printer
"Every Botty Poops"
Poop slinger thx for the great review bro 😎
Never sling your poop.
The poop is why I won't buy this one.
It’s not that bad, rather have it do this they screw up my layers with color bleed

What a waste of time …😂
Yet here you are

Hello. Can we pls exchange a private email conversation? Want to get something printed
I don’t print for others unless it’s on my Etsy store sorry
