Is The A1 Worth It? Diving Into Bambu Labs Newest 3d Printer

[@YoSpiff]

Bambu must have sent one of these to every 3D printing KZbin channel! My feed is flooded with A1 reviews from everyone. This is the first one with any negatives about it. I recently bought an Elegoo Neptune 4, but this series bears paying attention to for my next upgrade purchase.

[@ModBotArmy]

Yeah, I have no idea how many received test units but definitely quite a few. It is odd that I notice some cooling issues with the prints since the A1 Mini is running the same toolhead and fan but I did not see this. I will have to compare the profiles, maybe they are pushing quicker speeds with the A1. The tabs is a bummer, I had this happen early on and reached out to let them know. I am hoping some sort of mod or slight revision to the bed housing is possible.

[@ameliabuns4058]

[@andreas.grundler]

Good for you. Have fun with it, but you might want to cover the camera. A KZbinr found his private parts on the footage while checking the printing progress in the middle of the night, wearing only his Adam costume.

[@AckzaTV]

Me too, but just scrub build plate with soap and water in the sink and dry with papertowel or washcloth etc.... if you do start getting failures like I did, after 24 7 printing u days a week for months lol, but it can't do everything we have to clean the plate once In a while lile every printer it's just SO easy that we forget ahha cuz the printer is so damn convinient

[@alexismakingthings1800]

Just a heads up. The current version of the AMS Lite top mount comes with braces for the Z axis to prevent wobble.

[@ModBotArmy]

Someone sent me a link :). They werent available when this was sent over but I am definitely going to install them to brace the unit.

[@clenaghen]

I have an A1 on the way, and Bambu now has additional base supports included with the top mount print kit for the AMS lite.

[@emberprototypes]

Bambulab is really doing all the right things in terms of marketing and decision making. Pretty amazing to see from a business perspective!

[@Heatfluidnamycs]

Almost... their customer support is still green, and with increasing users, it is hard to imagine a swift solution. From the business perspective, all the rest is impressive, with an outstanding match between the target market and products.

[@emberprototypes]

@@Heatfluidnamycs totally agree on the CS side. Aside from that their business decisions have been great.

So this is the reason why it's a good idea to watch a lot of these videos. That tabs on the back of the bed issue that caused scratches on the build surface...this is the first video I've seen that describes that and when I get mine it'll save me from having to deal with that.

[@Smedleydog1]

I still think that mounting the AMS on top of the printer will add vibration artifacts to the print. It has to with all that mass mounted that high. Input shaping can only account for so much vibration.

[@MonkeyButlerLabs]

Definitely yes on the HueForge stuff.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I waited 2 years to finally buy into bambu. When they came out with the X1 I was one of the haters since it was all proprietary and not open source. I was just waiting for the bad reviews and reasons to bot buy. But those never really came aside from 1 small network security issue they had. It wasn't until last week that I actually looked into them with a neutral point of view and I was actually blown away at how cheap their parts are and just how good the machine as for their price. I then looked into long term reviews and again very few negatives. I have seen people replace their prusa print farms with these machines and put thousands of hours on them with no issues. So I pulled the trigger on an A1. Got it setup and printing tonight and wow. Coming from a sidewinder x1 to this is night and day. I had it setup and printing in 15 minutes that includes slicing my own test print in their slicer which I had never used. My only regret is not going with the P1P over the A1 but its not a big regret since the A1 was all I could afford. However if they ever release a P1P XL that works with the AMS lite I will buy it. I really hope they make their future machines work with both AMS versions.

[@livewiya]

I’ve been going back and forth between the P1S and the A1 - the main thing steering me to the A1 is noise. I work from home and it will be in my office, my dog sleeps in that room at night. I see so much about people’s efforts to make the P- and X- series quieter, but people generally talk about how quiet the A1 already is.

[@jz6373]

I would looove more deep dives into Hueforge. I’m still trying to get my bearings on making my sisters sweet nature/architecture photos translate

[@dan-nutu]

With the bed confirmed going up to 100°C and the nozzle up to 300°C, what is still not clear to me WRT printing high temperature filaments (ABS, ASA, PC) is why Bambu Lab are saying on their wiki/FAQ page for the A1 that "We don't recommend enclosing the A1" - any ideas? Could it be due to insufficient cooling for the electronics, or maybe issues with softening the Z axis timing belt? I am asking because I've built my own perfectly sealed enclosure (a lot of sweat went into making it) and I'd rather use that with the A1 if possible than pay for the P1S, especially since the A1 has the quick change nozzle and no "no build areas". Bambu Lab mention they don't recommend printing high temperature filaments on the A1 due to the lack of the enclosure (the A1 is therefore not able to ensure the required higher chamber temperatures and also not able to contain the toxic VOCs), but they never explain why they recommend against enclosing the A1.

[@PostTeller]

The A1’s mother board isn’t built for high temps

[@aqhan]

Yes, please! A Hueforge video would be great!

[@AckzaTV]

Im so happy with my a1... i just wish theyd explain on a sticker note on the front showing visual of how you should rinse it in a sink with soap and water and a sponge/brush or hand lol thats literally all it ever needs

[@car_tar3882]

The things these a1s have makes me very exited for the x2 and p2 series

[@KennyGarland]

Based on what the P1 is to the X1 and these A1s are to the P1s, expect more corner cutting and a reduction in overall quality in upcoming models.

[@rattyboots]

@@KennyGarland Of course there is corner cutting. The P1 is 2/3 the price of the X1C, the A1 is 1/3 the price of the X1C. How could you possibly expect there not to be corner cutting? Thats like saying Addi cut corners with the A1, compared to the R8. When you cut the price, you lower the spec. The print quality per £ is the important thing and Bambu Labs have hit the mark with each series.

[@derrickcraddock2022]

Thanks for this great review. I subbed. I expect my A1 to be delivered soon. I can't wait.😊

[@frankcastle2814]

Don't use a metal scraper on those PEI sheets. I switched to the plastic razor blades to prevent damaging my sheets (like the metal one has).

[@ModBotArmy]

I haven’t had an issue with it but you definitely don’t want to apply force. It can glide and get under things easily but if your not careful there is risk. I may try the plastic blades just to compare.

[@LSEngraving]

i actually sharpened my scraper to be like a wide razor blade, and since then, i havent had any issues using metal on PEI. YMMV

I would like to see a video about those landscape paintings you printed. They look very interesting. How are they framed?

[@ls4life544]

So, can dry boxes be used with this system, and have you printed using dissolvable PVA filament? What is your recommendation. I am looking to use a dessolvable for support filament.

[@ianmcleod8898]

If you let the bed cool before removing print I see no need to remove the build plate. This is where it tests your patience 😆.

[@Engineeringchaos]

For me I am going to get a P1S since it looks nicer, is enclosed and has the normal AMS. But the A1 is probably my new exclusive recommendation for starting out.

[@ModBotArmy]

P1S is awesome. I really like mine and if I had the choice between the two would also go that route.

[@HenrySavinon]

I have one in my closet but during these cold winter days I’ve been having many failed prints unsticking to the build plate. Seems like I need an non-textured plate with glue to combat this.

7:15 Is the filament purge catcher an accessory or 3D printed?

[@DionV]

Likely 3D printed. I've seen other reviews with different versions of the purge catcher.

[@11290slk]

This is one of the better reviews I've watched for this printer, however, it seems that all the reviews have "omitted" the actual speeds that they were running the test prints. Was this on purpose? Seems that would be valuable information to those watching to decide on purchasing.

[@richou5721]

he mentioned slicer defaults which for the A1 is roughly 200mm/s with 7k accel but you can go a fair bit faster without dropping quality if you dont mind adding brims (bedslinger moment)

[@c0mputer]

I haven’t seen anyone on KZbin do a review of the A1 or A1 Mini that is actually geared towards the market that Bambu designed these printers for.

[@F.DoctorGT03.]

Hello and thank you for your excellent comment, I hesitated to take the P1s , but I ordered the A1 that I have not yet received, I print only pla and I look for the quality of prints, I wonder if I did not make a mistake, Many people say it’s worse than p1s in terms of print quality, will I be able to change my A1 to P1s if I’m not satisfied? Are there any problems with bambu lab returns (I am French)? Thank you in advance for your answer, thank you again...

[@ModBotArmy]

I am not sure what the return policy is like especially outside of the US. Worst case I would think you can sell it locally for at least very close to what you purchased. Honestly if quality is your biggest want you just may need to slow down the speeds a bit. P1S has added cooling and a more rigid frame so yes you will be able to go faster and maintain quality but at the increase in cost.

[@ameliabuns4058]

8:16 anyone else see the z banding? i'm confused that a lot of the bambu reviews say the quality is excellent etc when they look like they have many problems! are my stanrdards too high?

[@ModBotArmy]

So it was only on that model. I originally also thought it was z banding so I ran a square tower and none of the artifacts were present. I am not sure if it is just the silk, or the combination of the silk with the infill/speed but I did not see it with the other filaments.

what happens if you have many PLA's but not all from bambu and put it in the AMS?

[@normang4]

So far all the PLA i use in my A1 is not from Bambu and it works fine. you can use generic PLA or create customized settings in the slicer for certain makers, like Inland or others.

[@TheFighterX4]

What if you have mixed color Pla? Sparkle, rainbow, glow one?

[@normang4]

@@TheFighterX4 If you go into Bambu Studio, and select to add a custom filament, you can chose from a reasonable list of vendors, though no where near all of them that are out there probably. Then you then chose the type of filament ie, PLA,PETG, TPU, ABS, more etc. then you define whether its basic, matte, Silk, Marble etc, then you can chose settings from an existing preset or generic for standard settings. So far for most any filament I've used Generic PLA, with other defining factors has worked fine. Bambu Filaments if using the AMS, reads information somehow from the reel to setup up what it is, color, and other settings automatically. When you switch colors on the AMS, it purges of the nozzle of the previous color before resuming printing. This many consider to be wasteful, however I like being able to have color models, not a single color for some models not all., However when doing color, if I can do it with a reasonable number of color changes during the print. I will, and Bambu Studio tells you all these details. Considering how much filament I've tossed even before color., and perhaps many others as well from failed prints, waste all a matter of perspective. It would be nice if some filament companies could setup a recycling program to recover filament from failed prints and using color. Not aware of any yet..

I know the A1 is a good price but personally I'd rather save up for one of the other versions from Bambu.

Which Prusa printer does it compete with? Mk3s, Mk4s?

[@andreas.grundler]

I don't think it's really competing with the MK3/MK4. It may look like it, but the targeted user groups are very different. The MK3/MK4 is first and foremost an industrial printer. Not pretty, but reliable and easy to maintain. And it's for people who want to delve deeper into the technology behind 3D printing, with the ability to modify and tinker with the printer. The A1 is a printer for people who "just want to print" without getting into the technology behind it. In this respect, it competes more with the AnkerMake M5/M5C, which also promises ease of use.

[@ModBotArmy]

I would definitely say print quality is better on the CoreXY printers at least if you are trying to print at these higher speeds. A more conservative profile will definitely help. The Z banding is odd, I printed a tall cube to see if I could spot it but did not see any at all. The silk filament seemed to maybe have some but I actually think it was caused by the infill pattern.

[@TheMidnightSmith]

Keep in mind these videos were made before a lot of firmware updates. The banding has been pretty much eliminated now. Yes a 5mm round 200mm tall tall rod will probably still wobble, but that's a part issue, not a printer problem.

Ive had my k1 max for about a month now and i rewlly wanted to look into multi color cilament options i relalt have enjoyed my k1 max but recently experienced clogs which was my fault from the spool getting tangled and after tsking apart the hot end nozzle and such ive experienced a lot of stringing on all my prits so far im wondering if its a good idea to return the pritner and pickup the a1 combo it looks amazing the features are really what want me to switch i hate to return it but if all that packaging to return the printer if im nore happy with the a1 combo thats all i care for.

What I don't understand is how a company comes years and years after all the other companies, and makes something worse? How do you use plastic parts on hot beds? Why? My cheap Prusa has an all metal bed. It's for a reason!
