One thing that seems odd is how the new PLA spools are not even half full. Maybe its just because these are the once included and not really the stock ones.

I just bought a mini and I want a second one with the mindset to get an a1 in near future 😊

I appreciate, you candid demeanor. I've been printing for just under two years and now, I'm looking at a second printer. I liked to tinker, so I bought a Ender, but I have less and less time to tinker, and prefer my printer to simply "work." Thanks for putting together this great video.

What’s the comparison to the Flex?

I bought the A1 mini a couple of weeks ago and am having a blast with it. My only gripe is that it essentially only does PLA and PETG filament. TPU and PVA, the other two filaments they recommend for this model are specialized filaments. I've had basically no luck with TPU (I've ordered their largest nozzle size to see if that improves matters). But I'm also using Overture TPU, which may be the problem. It doesn't seem to want to stick to the bed very well. I've used up almost a whole spool of Bambu matte PLA with good results. And I've just gotten done printing some hose adaptors for a laser cutter vent which I designed in Blender and exported (which was very easy and worked great). I used Bambu translucent PETG for those. Worked okay. Strong stuff, but kinda ugly. Anyway, I'm hooked. Am thinking of maybe getting the A1 or possibly the P1P (the A1 still has the filament limitation as the mini).

I am 5 yrs deep w/ milwaukee packout products; just to swap out everything out would be $$$. Unfortunately, i hav to stay w/ the milwaukee packput.

Its cute that you don't understand the DeWalt battery ecosystem.

how "hard" is it to use the BambuStudio® on the computer when you have more than 1 printer

You know when it’s on because the light comes on.

Wow this looks like a really great beginner 3d printer. I may just have to get this. Thank you for a great video. Subbed :)

Just bought one as I am so fed up with all the troubles I have with my Ender 5 and 5 pro. Can't wait to see what this one can do.

How do I get into this hobby?

You said the lid doesn't stay open by itself, but the actual next clip is the lip staying open by itself? bit confused on that

I highly recommend you play around with fusion 360 more and design random stuff even if you dont print it. that CA glue organizer would take me less than 5 minutes with how comfortable i am with the program. its a great and fun skill to learn.

I've been printing for 6 years and you def did your research. i absolutely how knowledgeable you are even if its your first time.

DO NOT GET BAMBU, THEY HAVE THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Youre stuck with anything you buy, they also buy reviews. If you want to cancel, NO.. if you want to add something onto an order that was missed and they hVe a sale going on, NO!! If you want to return your open box, NO. They wont help you AT ALL. They just want the sale and as soon as its done they mKe sure to slam the door behind you and make you keep everything and are 0 help if issues come up. Worst purchase ever.

Been using a MK3S+ for over 2 years (as my first printer). And I just ordered the A1 mini, people need to stop saying it's a great beginner printer, it's also a great printer for experienced makers. That 170$ price , it's illegal to NOT order it

I had a very large tree fall in my backyard. I didn't have a chainsaw so I purchased the 18 inch version of the one in the video. I've been able to make a crappie problem very manageable. I had some of the larger batteries and they did the trick. The only complaint I have is the oil cap loosens up and the oil spills out.

it's only $199 now like that's crazy 😂

You get charged more because of the multi layered German and EU tax structure on manufacturers. Yes you are paying DE/EU taxes, plus USA State Sales Tax too.

If I need that many tools, I don’t want to work there.

Short answer Yes it is worth it! Most amazing item I have ever bought. With ZERO 3D printing experience I was printing functional quality prototype's on day 1. 4 weeks later and its simply amazing!

As a fellow woodworker and also having a 3d printer for a few years now, I would like to see a couple more videos of things you have 3d printed for woodworking or for your shop. Besides the Milwaukee pack out stuff Great video btw.

I have owned and used the DeWalt track saw for years, and it has been great overall. One thing I do regret, though, is the tracks are not amenable to parallel guides based on their design. At least, there are none that will work with the Dewalt tracks that I am aware of. TSO does make an attachment that ensures the track is square to the edge of whatever you are cutting, which is nice, but as far as parallel guides that attach to the track distally and proximally, there is no way to do it. Something to keep in mind if anyone is considering getting a track saw and using a parallel guide system.

Spending extra money for quality stuff is never overpriced. If you think its overpriced you dont understand quality over just like everything else

On sale for $199, that’s nuts

Now you have had this a while, what slicer are you using, and how are you finding it when slicing 3D parts you create in sketchup or Fusion 360?

Learnt so much about 3D printers but have non 😂. I would love and appreciate a sponsor to buy at least less than an hundred dollars 3D printer

i just bought mine yesterday bc of that sale. hoping it really is plug and play since my ender 3 v3 se had the most tinkering

Just bought it for $199. Can't wait to use it!

Dude, that thing is only $199 now. I snatched one up

Sheeeeeet. I've been printing for 3 years and I just bought the A1 Mini Combo. The A1 Mini is my favorite printer ever.

The $199 price is nice, but if I do decide to get one I think I would spring for full size A1

Cheers for the video, I ordered one today.

WAAAAAAAAAY too much lube on that Y rail. That auto color feature only works with bambu filaments WITH an AMS or AMS Lite. They use RFID to read material information.

Until something goes wrong... then you'll will wish you started on an open source machine, and learnt the fixes for yourself along the way.

I have had an x1c about a month, and love it. 1000% better experience than my first attempt at 3d printing with ender 3s A1 Mini can be bought a Micro Center until July 5 for $175 using the $25 off first time customer deal :). I am thinking about a a1-mini just because :)

Just so you know... Print time on most other machines is a LOT slower.

Matt, you are my go to person for tool reviews. Just bought the A1 Mini after watching your Video. BTW also bought the SKIL contractor table Saw and the Router table combo because of your Videos. What software do you use to design custom tools like the dust collector adapter for the dewalt saw? Keep up the great content.

Do you have to use their filament? Or what kind of filament do I want to look for?

About to pull trigger on a1 mini as my first 3d printer. Your review and outlook on 3d printing itself helped!

If I could give you some criticism. I'd say you can edit so much better. Are you writing scripts or just off the dome. You repeat yourself often and this day and age attention retention is a big challenge

Bambu must be pushing the A1, out again. Every other 3d channel has a recent video on it even though it's been out for a while now.

Fun fact you can be anywhere you have service and talk to the machine. My rommie has the mini. While he was out of town he was printing. I would clear the plate and he would start another. From hours away from the house. So keep that in mind.

I got the x1 carbon. Worth EVERY penny. The sensors the case the speed just amazing machine. The mini for the price is a EXCELLENT option for anyone wanting to get into printing. Solid machines.

Just grabbed an A1mini Combo yesterday at Microcenter. $349!! Can't be beat.

11:50 I will add you need Bambuu filament for this to work. it uses an NFC chip built into the spool which the printer and AMS can read.

An interesting feature of the 54V (as the 60V is called in Europe) is that after I got this saw, I started using the 54V battery on my Dewalt Torque Wrench, which made it a lot more powerful. So you can plug a 54V battery in an 18V tool, but not the other way around.

does the camera record offline, or only over web in the application?

Thanks for sharing your experience! I really enjoyed seeing your fondness for these little guys :) Can you share a link to the AMS stand you made?
