I saw many reviews, but you're the only one who really talked about the new 3d printer user experience. I believe you showed that 3d printing is now accessible to those of us who can't or don't want to invest the time into things like CAD and tinkering with temperature and speeds and feeds and other stuff we don't care about. We just want it to work. This is the review that convinced me to pull the trigger on an A1 Mini. Keep up the great work.

These Bambu Lab printers are the best. I kind of got into woodworking more because of 3d printing. Seeing where these lack and where wood working can fill in led me to this channel. These are the 1st printers I have used that were not the project themselves but actual tools you can count on. Also, not just for beginners, Bambu Lab just makes a great tool that works for all levels. They left Prusa in the dust, sorry to say. You just need to learn some concepts to use the slicer program which you would need for any printer. Some hints. Use Orca Slicer over the Bambu Slicer Do your Flow Dynamics Calibration for your filaments, it will save the k value which will determine the flow rate for that filament. Not all colors of the same brand act the same so do them for white and dark and you should be good. Polymaker Pro PLA gray looks so nice It's my go to, I don't mess with Bambu Lab refills any more. Just the cardboard Polymaker rolls. WASH YOUR PLATES WITH DAWN if prints don't stick. You usually don't need glue. Get the oils off the plate and don't touch it after. Faster printing speeds aren't better, they introduce problems so be patient and print slow. The AMS and AMS lite use RFID with Bambu Lab filament to read the filament info. Other brands you have to input it manually. Last, learn how to do the little maintenance you need every 3 months or so. That will deal with the issues that usually pop up. For real, most problems on the forums are from worn out parts or lack of lube and cleaning. It's a tool, take care of it and it will work flawlessly. Woodworking folks know this.

The nice thing about Bambu's spools is the RFID tags in them so they can automatically know what colors and types of filaments are loaded.

This is a great video! Been looking to get into 3D printing. I've watched quite a few "beginner" videos, and I think that this is the best one I've seen. Eventhough it is only talking about one particular printer, it touches on all the topics you need to think about in an easy and approachable way. I think this would be a great video for beginners, like me, to watch to begin research and to feel more confident in investing into 3D printing!

Honestly, Bambu has left most other companies in the dust by making a printer that just works most of the time. It seems crazy but other printers need lots of tuning or add-ons to make them useable. These are the 1st printers I can fuss more on my models and mistakes I make than the actual printer not working properly. I usually shop and compare products, so I get it, but I would 100% not look at other offerings in the 3r printing world right now. Other printers just don't work reliably and that's where most of the tinkering and learning has been.

Multi-color is super for putting contrasting labels on your parts. This can be especially useful for bins. Bambu studio will let you add labels to your parts. If you print it with the label on the top or bottom of the print, it will have to do a lot less swapping. My wife is constantly printing her pretties, however, and she does multi-color constantly. She has a knack for minimizing waste without tinkering with the settings.

I hope this helps you. Thanks for all the great videos!

I've had an A1 for a couple weeks (not a mini). Having had an Ender 3 for 5 years I see very vividly how much faster the A1 is - it's amazing. Mainly it's a pleasure not to be fiddling with slicer settings and printer mechanics - I just send the A1 a file and it prints, as simple as that. The quality is incredible - parts printed with 0.2mm layer height have a nicer surface than 0.16mm on my Ender 3 or Kobra Plus. I really don't understand how they even achieve that - I mean, a layer is a layer. But somehow they almost eliminate layer lines. We really are living in a great era of 3d printing, for this kind of speed and quality to be affordable to normal hobbyists. TBH I think people who make these videos exaggerate how quick setup is. The A1 isn't much different from the mini but my assembly took more than a half hour, because I was making sure to be careful - as I'm sure most people are, especially newbies - I've torn down my Ender 3. Not a big deal, just my pet peeve.

Big negative is that the printer is personal, can be bounnd to only one account. This means household can't share it.

Brilliant review. I was contemplating a resin printer for miniatures but, while I really like the idea of being able to print fine detail better I REALLY don't fancy the mess / clean up / hassle. Yes I can can do it, just don't want to. This looks ideal though. How are the filament lines on the prints? It's the one thing that always turns me off FDM but I'm told the Bambulabs machines are better than many others. On balance I think I'd rather put up with lines (if they are not really bad), one machine and a spool rather than a resin printer, wash / cure station, gloves, masks, IPA, chemical disposal, smell etc etc etc.

I've had my one for about 6 months or so. Fantastic first printer but I'm starting to outgrow it a bit. If you can live with a 180mm cube print area it's fine. Just to be clear there's no wired networking option (which you mentioned at around the 9 minute mark), the io ports on the side are purely for the AMS lite. It send's print jobs through the internet/cloud as well, if you can live with your designs going through bambu's servers it's fine. I believe there's a LAN only mode but I've never used it. You can always put your sliced .step files directly on the SD card though, just far less convenient, especially if you're troubleshooting a sliced file. Good review though mate 🙂

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).

We have the P1S with AMS, which is the best all-around printer for pro capabilities features/price/reliability. We also have two A1's which is the best beginner printer for those who want the larger format. We just ordered the A1 Mini during the $200 sale price in June. We didn't get the AMS for the Mini but we have it for the A1's. FYI the regular A1 has the same size build plate at the X1C/P1S and actually has more useable space on the bed since it doesn't have that dead space in the corner.

In my experience as a noob my A1 mini prints way faster and far higher quality print than my V3 SE.

You shoulda got the AMS lite :) It's really good. I have fewer retraction/feeding issues with it than the AMS on my x1c and it can hold more spool sizes (and it works fine with cardboard spools too). The only downside compared to the full AMS is that you can't make it a drybox.

Matt I was really interested in this and when I saw it was on sale I hade to buy it. I haven been wanting the X1 Carbon but couldn't justify the price not knowing how much I will use it. At $199 it was a no brainer. If I use it a lot then it's easy to justify the X1. Quick question, have you been printing in PLA, PETG or something else? I read about the differences but still not sure when something needs the added strength of PETG. Keep up the great reviews.

There's an assumption when you first start that PETG is a stronger material, but it isn't. Watch some filament strength tests and you'll see not only is the strength similar but some PLA beats it. How I decide between printing in PETG or PLA is if the part will be in the sun or hot temps. PETG shines in those circumstances while PLA deforms.

​@@Onerabidmonk1it depends on how you define strength. If you need something more damage/impact resistant or with some degree of material flexibility then PETG is normally a better bet, too. That being said, PLA+ helps improve on some of the durability deficiencies of regular PLA.

Do you still have to register in an app in order to even start the printer up the first time? And are log files still HUGE and encrypted?

you can use others. PETG for more durable stuff. PLA basic for prototyping, or generic stuff that won't be subject to heat/cold, etc. from what I understand but i'm no expert either lol.

So I have to ask how long have you spent learning to use the 3d cad software, as no matter how easy to use the printer it's worthless unless you can design what you want to print. I spent years learning V Carve Pro for my CNC, but packages such as Fusion 360 are not very user-friendly.

Hello, newly subscribed to channel. I like what you’re doing! I’m about to start out printing for my personal hobbies… probably lol. This seems to have great reviews. I just have to decide if I need multi color or a bigger build plate. With 2 of the hobbies, this plate will be plenty. The third hobby may be limited with a few of the parts possibly needing more space. I’m getting off point here. My question is what filament are you getting the smoothest results from? Another channel I subd to is having great results with the elegoo sold on Amazon. Claiming that the difference compared to the bambu isn’t worth the price difference to him. Thoughts anybody?
