I bought a new 3D printer - Bambu Lab A1

[@DreadnautX]

My A1 is showing up next week, can't wait to start my 3D printing journey. Great video :)

[@RSW_io]

It’s a great machine, and at a good price. I hope you enjoy it

[@tfmg8223]

Also Great video! i LOVE the A1 mini! You could try a giveaway to boost up the channel? or you could sell it! They don't depredate very easy so you could sell it a bit less then MSRP.

I got the clock kit with the A1 Mini, but nothing with the A1 combi. Bambu Lab stated it was pot luck if you get a gift.

[@RSW_io]

That explains it then, thanks

[@CountOfMontyCrypto]

Keep the mini. It's a workhorse.

[@RSW_io]

It’s definitely hard to let go of

[@chestercwright6070]

Sell the A1 and keep the mini,you have the xi.

[@RSW_io]

I’d miss the X1. It’s great for ABS etc. Plus I like two bigger machines to finish projects quicker 😉

[@tfmg8223]

Where did you get that A1 Mini AMS holder that attaches to the printer??

[@RSW_io]

Here’s the model I printed for the AMS lite bracket: makerworld.com/models/104580 I did think about a give away, but I don’t have the packaging to safely package it up.

@@RSW_io Thank you! And great video!

[@Bluntedco.]

the a1 multi color is quicker than the ams on the p1p/p1s/x1c. that is what makes the A1 combo super worth it! i just ordered one.

[@RSW_io]

Yeah, having the four tubes go into the hot end will help with that and save some time. The A1 is a great machine, I’m happy with it

[@nealwood7764]

Hey how come you chose the A1 over the P1S? I can’t decide between the A1 and the P1S.

[@Knak123]

Same decision 3month ago. I went for the A1 because it has flow control and is quieter. Will get a P1S successor though if not too expensive

[@RSW_io]

The main reason was because it’s quiet, plus cheap. I did consider a P1S, but the A1 was half the price and I already har the X1 Carbon.

[@TheJastaprasta]

I was at the same spot. But purchased A1 combo. Ams lite is better tham Ams, printer is slightly slower than P1P/P1S, but it has flow sensor, fillament run out sensor and etc.

[@nealwood7764]

@@TheJastaprasta Thanks for the replies, I have ordered the A1 Combo and it should arrive Wednesday, can't wait.

[@MrSkarpen]

Which one of these would you recommend for a newbie? I know I want a Bambu one, as I've noticed they are very popular for a good reason, but not sure which model yet and you seem to know as you have alot of them (:

[@RSW_io]

If you’re be mostly printing PLA, the A1 is probably more than enough. I’d get the combo though, as when I got the X1C I instantly regretted not having it and ended up buying it a couple of days later. The main downside to the A1 is that the camera is rubbish, the rest works great though. I guess what I’m saying though, is it depends on what you print and with what material.

[@MrSkarpen]

@@RSW_io Yeah I hear yah and it'll probably be most used for Miniature, feeding my Warhammer 40k-dream of having an army. I know that resin-printers is better for Miniature but the hussle with them is not for me, and I've seen that Bambu can do them just fine. Also, thanks for replying! Carry on good sir!

[@RSW_io]

I do find that the supports are sometimes a bit harsh on small figures etc, but you can do it

[@alienmorf]

Gift me your A1mini😊
