After fighting with "budget" printers myself for the last few years, I decided to give this a try. I will shout from the rooftops how this printer is the best decision you can make. Period. Everything about the experience is A+ and it produces absolutely amazing results. 3D printing to me was previously a chore. Now : I don't mind it at all.

[@sUASNews]

Thanks yarbsfpv, I currently own a $79 10x10 printer so it would be a leap forward for me

[@jedclampett4215]

Ordered one last week. Was $199.00. With shipping & tax, final price was $228.98. I didn't bother with the AMS Lite. I figured if the A1 mini was as good as people say, I'll order an A1 Combo with the AMS Lite for $489.00 plus shipping & Tax. Received the A1 mini on Thursday afternoon. Setup was a breeze and I've been printing like crazy with it for three days. This thing is awesome - and fast! Prints in about half the time that my Ender 3 S1 prints. Absolutely happy with this A1 mini.

[@poppin_freshgaming4334]

I couldn't resist the new price and wanted a compliment to my P1S, so bought a Mini that arrived a week ago. My 11 year old assembled it in 15 minutes and it's been temporarily sitting on my counter just smashing out gorgeous prints. At this point I don't see myself turning on my older bed slingers ever again. They taught be a lot, but at this point I just want to print and not constantly tinker.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

I grabbed 6x A1 Mini, sold my 8x Ender 3's and never looking back. I only print TPU 👌

[@Chris-oj7ro]

It's friggin $200 now!

[@dubzsquaredfpv7171]

I was already considering this printer, but now that an FPV'er has endorsed it, I'm in!

[@tonhabraken9339]

My subs are completely spammed with boring Avata 2 ‘reviews’ today… ignored it all. Was very happy to see this being put up. Thanks.

[@mpawood]

I swear DJI embargoes are a pain in the ass

[@tonhabraken9339]

@@mpawood Absolutely.. and then all the copy-paste thumbnails.. Here's my 'reaction' face, here's the drone (pointing at it..) and then screaming titles. .. I get it.. gotta pay the bills and I guess it works.. But something more original ..maybe? ..although I'd have a good laugh if Ian would do just such a thumbnail..

[@robrow]

I’m very tempted by this offer, it would be my 1st 3D printer. Can I ask if it is also worth me getting the bundle including the AMS lite? Will this it print in ASA? Thanks for any advice.

[@RocktCityTim]

Thanks, Mads! Definitely a more useful coverage of this printer. The TPU dive was well worth the price of admission 😄.

[@spooky2466]

Ordered one yesterday and thinking of ordering 4 more for the print farm. As for the bed size it's more than enough honestly, 90% of prints shared online fit on that bed size and even those who don't can be cut up and printed with connectors and assembled. As for anyone thinking of running a small print farm with these or a different kind of small printer(Kingroon KP3S, Prusa mini, Ender 2), the financial benefits are in the cheaper electric bill since it takes less power to heat up the smaller bed and also the price of PEI beds is cheaper obviously, especially if you like ordering various colorful PEO plates from Aliexpress

[@EBPlusC200]

I just ordered this because of your detail review. I used your link.

[@kennykobitsfpv]

Thanks Man. I just bought an Ankermake m5c for 249$. I'm going to buy the A1 and see them side to side.

[@noilkrad]

Just ordered mine today. In addition to my P1S. Thank you!

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks for all the info, Ian! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@JPspinFPV]

Came here for the same reason. I'm actually really happy Ian isn't doing the DJI launch.

[@JiajuChen]

Except this is also designed by DJI engineers.

[@ilhamismail2908]

i trust everything that you said because you fly FPV and i need printer that can print fpv stuff

[@londenard]

Yup, they complain about bed size and then print tiny knick knacks all day.

[@SHIFTIBOI]

I always reduce outerwall speed to 50mm/s to ensure it's a consistent speed when printing with shiny filaments.

[@kenspaceman3938]

I’m wondering if the A1 prints as good as the A1 mini? Might replace an old Ender 3 with an A1. Only bad thing I’ve seen on the A1:s is the camera. Was thinking of waiting for Bambu Lab to upgrade the cam before buying. Then again, not sure Bambu Labs will ever upgrade the cam although they could do it so easily.

[@dadpoolfpv]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm thinking about getting this printer specifically for FPV prints. I couldn't find anything directly related to FPV. Keep sending, friend!

[@MadRC]

Thanks.

[@andrewlongfellow8745]

Have you done any mods for this? purge bucket or anything along those lines? I just got the a1 mini 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it. this printer does not get the love it deserves

[@notice_fpv]

Been looking hard at this unit. Wondered about it's TPU abilities. What is the hardness rating of your TPU stock for this print? Thanks!

[@dontplaywithlava]

TPU is great on the A1 Mini. I've done some GoPro, Antenna, Camera mounts and fins for my racers.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

I run a TPU Print farm on 6x A1 mini's

[@Hydrasam]

Hey Ian, is this your same settings for SainSmart TPU and do you change anything else on the filliment page from bambu defaults. Just got my A1 yesterday as my first printer on your reccomendation :)

[@dennismatovich8411]

Great stuff! I used the link today - hope it helps the channel.

[@miguelt.7997]

You sure it's safe to set retraction to > 2mm? you risk pulling melted filament onto the heatbreak and can cause an obstruction. I had good luck limiting volumetric speed on TPU to 2. I keep retraction to 1mm on my P1S. for the price, the A1 mini is very tempting, but would rather spend a bit more and get the A1 when it gets back on sale.

[@xBarnabyJonesx]

Just got mine today!

[@keithjohnston1981]

Now only £169 in uk. Seriously considering this just for fun!

[@SoFather]

Bed temperature of TPU in this print please?

[@robrow]

Hey Ian I'm looking to dive into 3D printing for the first time through your affiliate link. I've noticed on the website they also have an offer that includes the AMS Lite and thinking about future development for me is it worth also including this in my purchase? Thanks for any advice.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

Ams is awesome for hard plastics (PLA + PETG), but I skipped it since I print TPU 99.9% of the time, and TPU isn't supported by AMS

[@dontplaywithlava]

I bought the A1 mini on the price drop a few weeks back. It's great. Got a P1S 1 week before and I've put nearly 150 hours on it already.

[@MiguelP_It]

Nice video Ian. Love your channel and the fact you say things like they are. A question, do you know if Bambu is planning to lauch a bigger printer (something like 300x300x300)? And why is so difficult to find bambu lab materials available? Thank you very much =)

[@logitech4873]

They are planning on launching a bigger printer, yes. But nobody knows when.

[@sUASNews]

Humm, time to see what it costs here and the bed size does worry me

[@Thegrindman95]

well done

[@squirrely8527]

Is there still an issue with this printer?

[@johnsanford3596]

Never has been any significant issues with this printer. Its big brother, the A1 "not Mini" is the one that had the "OMG, its going to burn your house down" risk. That printer is returning to the market next month after some rehab to address its potential firebug tendencies.

[@thatdudeinthehoodie]

When will that one be out? Looking to move on from Ender 3 V2. ​@johnsanford3596

[@optimizor]

Grabbed one at 199$ today

[@wannerskog]

Are you happy with it? Have you been limited by the size?

[@optimizor]

@@wannerskog well I’m sure I would have been but they fked up and gave me the bigger one with the ams and I didn’t feel like driving all the way back to return it, so long story short I’m enjoying the a1 with ams.

[@jrdsm]

​@@optimizorholy sh!t that's awesome 😂

[@Lurker1222]

Now its 199

[@420247paul]

that lever part of cantilever makes this printer a hell no for me fellas.

[@Fly_High_FPV]

You mean the filament cutter?

[@Ultimate_Power_]

Why

[@eaman11]

Come on don't put your greasy fingers on the PET bed like that :/

[@Nodestradamus]

Cheaper but I'm still not going to pay nearly $300 to print $5 parts. Kinkos needs to make a comeback.

[@thefreezezone4583]

false advertisement, its 400 buck, thats using your link, not 249....however, I didnt add it to a shopping cart to see if price changed, as I am not going to spend 400

[@ErikJ540]

You probably looked at the price for the combo. If you select just the printer the price is only about 250.

[@MadRC]

Clearly you did not click the A1 only. I made it crystal clear, if you click the link and select Printer only it’s it’s 249 ffs. Cleary not false advertising.

[@bertbeinaaf8314]

⁠That’s right. The combo is $400,-

[@yarbsfpv]

if you can't read the buttons you're clicking on, i don't think 3d printing is a hobby for you, bud.

[@thefreezezone4583]

@@MadRC well, I clearly did not hear that in your video. pretty sure I watched and listened to whole thing, or else why would I post that? :D
