As a person who's never used a 3D printer but is considering buying one, this is one of the best reviews I have seen of the A1. I am really trying to figure out what I need to get started and this goes a long way to showing me what I need to consider.

It is simply satisfying to rely on you and Helios to explain and review new printers w/r others out there.

Given your reviews, these others makers can't rely on marketing specs to gain sales because of your reviews exist. Your work: Aurora Tech - "out of this world".

[@ferenc-x7p]

I love this. Instead of just talking about the printer with some random images, you are showing how the printer is doing and put them through the stress test. Your review style should be the standard. I even learned about the temps and settings and see it in time lapse how it was doing. Also the noise sample you got, it's like no other youtubers dare to record it and play it back at the real level.

For those of us in the hobby for 10+ years, this might as well be a miracle machine. I know many people have only begun their journey 2-3 years ago so this machine doesn't seem impressive, but in mid 2010s you'd be lucky to get a machine 90% slower than this for 10X the price.

There's a mismatch here. Their website shows the bed can go up to 100 C. But Aurora and CNC kitchen are saying it goes only up to 80 C

[@AuroraTech]

I can use the screen to set it to 100°C, but the actual measured temperature of the heated bed only reaches up to 81-82°C. Therefore, I would say the maximum temperature is still 80°C.

[@_DROM_]

Another great review. Straight to the point. 🤩 I can see hobbyists getting this printer. Great addition for a line, if you print masks and armour pieces, for example. The main downsides for me are the max bed temp, the fact that I can't manually adjust what I need in the printer itself and having to keep this printer online (this last one goes for all BL printers)

[@eaman11]

Aurora you should test those larger and fast bedslingers with a tall print, like a vase with constant gemoetric details from bottom to top and see how the quality deteriorates as the height increases due to wobbling of both bed and Z axis. It's too convenient to test those printers with just short benchies, people may buy those for the build volume and speed yet those printers won't deliver as things get tall. Same for testing the AMS on top: bigger print to see how it impacts quality with speed to make it wobble and taller to see how that increase with height. It's a terrible idea to put 6kg of stuff on top of a badslinger yet without it both the A1s take an awful amount of space for poo + printer + AMS.

[@shawnhicks619]

While I agree that bedslingers aren’t the best for tall prints, especially skinny ones, Bambu is t the only one making a fast bedslinger. And let’s face it unless your making a lot of cosplay armor and weapons your probably only using about half of the build volume about half or more of the time. I don’t think this printer is focused on experienced seasoned printers, I think they are focusing on entry customers or relatively new to 3D printing. And the fact that you get multicolor printing for around 550 bucks is pretty darn cheap. A p1s with AMS is almost double the price of the A1 with AMS lite. And it appears like there are multiple ports on the back so in theory future firmware updates could unlock multiple AMS lite units. At the end of the day it’s a bed slinger, but it is direct competition to the other manufacturers.

[@thorntontarr2894]

Your assessment is sound. The motion compensation needs to be based on bed heights given the z axis compliance - stiffness issues. If I were Bambu Labs, I would certainly add your suggestions to the calibration routine to show their total understanding of this issue which you address well.

[@AuroraTech]

Yes, I printed 500mm tall models with the AnyCubic Kobra 2 Max and Elegoo Neptune 4 Max in my previous review videos.

[@eaman11]

@@AuroraTech Exactly, If I recall that was quite a slow print at 50mm/s with hi flow and yet it showed artifacts. That's why it would be interesting to see fast printers like this A1 to print something tall with the bed moving so fast, maybe a geometrical vase mode with standard line width at hi speeds. It would be also good to test consistency of flow and vertical lines on the whole Z axis extension. I'm afraid that people see these cheap hi speed bedslingers and may come to belive that they are as good as the more expensive coreXY: they are not when you print tall, but usually they show you just short benchies.

[@PaulB-justme]

As someone who does not presently have a 3D printer, but is looking to buy one at some time, I am watching many video reviews, to find out what would be the most suitable printer for me.

She is very clear about her views on each printer, giving the pros and cons without any favouritism. She tests everything with similar methods to come to a clear decision.

[@marks99999]

Great review, Thanks. I am waiting for mine to arrive. One thing someone mentioned was that the AMS uses a non-standard sized filament reels. This causes problems if you want to use non-BambuLabs reels, but you can get an STL file for an printable adapter for various sized reels. Still, the one constant with computers is so many standards to choose from, and BambuLabs has added a new one. Thanks again.

[@mururoa7024]

Good review, as usual. The bed temp is a non-issue: you'd never print high temp plastics on a open air printer anyway. On a personal note, I don't need a better open air bed slinger, I need a XL version of the X1C.

[@shawnhicks619]

As much as I agree with you Bambu is being smart here and after scooping up market share and causing a ruckus with the legacy manufacturers on speed, print quality, ease of use, and cost with the x and p series they are now focusing on entry level customers. I have to imagine the other manufacturers are again scrambling to meet the Bambu entry level printers. Hopefully this time next year they will offer the next gen flagship core xy printer with larger build volume.

[@justinedefrance873]

I did well to wait 9 months before buying it, Bambulab will certainly not ignore the hardware improvements that this test will suggest to him. Very good video that removes any ambiguity on the possibility of using this printer with technical materials requiring a plate temperature higher than 80 °. Those who sell us enclosures for this machine claiming that it will be possible to print these materials as with the Carbon X1, are misleading us.

[@vinny5915]

Interesting. I know that Bambu was using their own proprietary firmware and all. But, it is pretty surprising to know to know how low spec their MCUs are given how capable the machine is.

[@eaman11]

To be fair I can do a 21minutes benchy on an Ender3 with Marlin, Klipper is better but if you go through the hassle of updating, re calibrate and upgrade cooling and extrusion then Marlin is pretty much capable to drive a bedslinger at 250mm/s with a standard board.

When you printed the figures, what is the square block printed in the back? Did you manually insert that block there? Or was it placed by the A1?

[@DanLo-tube]

this is a purge tower, it is mandatory and added automatically by the slicer to do the transitions from 1 filament to the other during multicolor prints. It has to do a tower so that the print-purge tower keeps it's height at print head level for the layer where it is needed :)

[@ewan4805]

Great review! I will have to give Voxel filaments a try.

[@MrUniq]

Those multilateral prints really stand out vs the single color prints in other reviews... as do the ones other makers are posting. I think Bambu is really clever to push their AMS so aggressively, it's really enticing.

[@AerialWaviator]

Exceptional review and testing mythology. Great internal electronic and firmware details are not a typical review topic, but were very educational. It would be a useful feature if could have a multi-color printer like the BambuLab (with AMS) dedicate the purged filament to another printed object where the color banding would not matter. Having this choice would seem much less wasteful. There are many "utility" type prints where what color, or having color-banding would not matter.

Best review of A1 on KZbin

[@c0mputer]

Aurora, with the greatest respect, I really think you should do a “review” with one of your friends that knows nothing about 3D printing. Box it all up, give them the box and see how easy it is for someone who doesn’t have your knowledge to set it up and start printing. Even with the A1 mini which is even more of an entry printer, no one has done a video like this and it would be good to know. It’s like professional race car drivers reviewing and explaining a power wheels kids toy to other race car drivers, when they should be gearing it towards children. I want my friend (who has never 3D printed before) to buy an A1 or A1 mini and I want to send him a video about the printer but I feel the videos out already have too much “knowledge” in them for a beginner. For example, you open up the video with looking at and describing the mother board chips and talking about Klipper, when they would have zero idea what that is. Food for thought!

[@nucleochemist]

Thanks these videos are really useful. I have never done 3d printing but might buy a printer soon. I am mostly trying to compare price vs features and the reviews of the bambulabs printers are really helpful.

My order arrived - non ams. I was surprised how light the base was compared to the cr10se. So far it prints well. I feel my x1c is more consistent. I am not fond of the spool holder. I feel it’s a bit flimsy- it’s attaches solidly, but the “branch” the spool fits on seems flimsy. I wish Bambu did something different for their hotend cable and ptfe tube management. Not terrible, but feel something else could have been done. X rail is a little crunchy, and the hotend cable management box on the base cracked some where the z cable passed through as well as the clip that attaches to the base. I was gentle and careful. Not a big deal, however be careful. Also watch out when you put the base cover back one as the rear clip flexed outward and could have been snapped off if I hadn’t noticed. 3D printers are getting even closer to an appliance compared to my ender 3 days.

I'm trying to decide on my first 3d printer. I'm fluctuating between the A1-MINI and this larger A1. I like them both but the mini seems to have consistently slightly better quality prints than the larger A1 according to reviews I'm wondering if the difference in quality is because the A1-mini uses linear Y rails and the larger A1 does not. Or, perhaps the larger A1 will require a better firmware update? Hmmm, decisions. I'm unsure yet if I'll really need the larger print volume or if I'll be disappointed being constrained to 180mm cubed. However, if the larger A1 will improve it's print quality over time from a firmware update then I should get the larger A1, but of course that is an unknown. I don't plan to purchase until mid to late January, so I'll be watching for updates from bambu until then. 😊 Thoughts?
